EVER wanted to sponsor a piece of sporting history? Well here's your chance!

On Monday 21st April, Bury FC players and officials will meet join 300 supporters in travelling by steam train from Ramsbottom to Bury in a recreation of the homecoming of the 1903 FA Cup winning side.

Dignitaries and people in period costume will greet the convoy, which is carrying with it the FA Cup.

The train is having a full cast iron nameplate made for it reading: 'Bury FC - FA Cup winners 1903.'

The commercial department is seeking a sponsor for the plate and the cost is £200 plus VAT. The sponsor will be presented with the plate to keep after the event.

This represents excellent value for money for a very unusual piece of football memorabilia.

Anyone interested should contact Peter Young on 0161 705 2144.
