We used that strap-line (We Will Rebuild) 5 years ago on our 2007 Dinner Programme after we (Wallsend Boys’ Club) had been granted the funding to develop our own pitches and changing rooms at Bigges Main.

By the time the competition came to a close the Boys club was a clear favourite with the tokens almost at the top. We... Read More
