"Stanley’s Football Wish" Poem - South Stanley Junior School
This poem was created by Jamie, Carter and Lewis, Year 6 pupils from South Stanley Junior School as part of our 'Celebrating Stanley' project. The pupils were inspired by the historic FA Cup match where West Stanley FC faced Tottenham Hotspur before a crowd of 35,000, capturing the towns pride, excitement and hope. Though Stanley didn't win, the moment lives on, ending with a modern wish for the town to have a football stadium that reflects its deep love of the game.
