THERE is a West Pennine town buzzing after becoming famous again for something other than cakes.
Thanks to the success of the football team in the FA Cup, Chorley is back on the map and loving the limelight in these otherwise dark and difficult times.
Virtual tickets for Friday’s visit of Premier League Wolves in the fourth round have been selling fast and the club’s run in the competition is expected to net them more than £500,000 in revenue.
For the time being, life feels good again and the club deserve their moment in the sun.
Boss Jamie Vermiglio said: “Chorley is on the map now and for us it’s a boost. We could possibly get up to £500,000 now and for a club like us, not only does it save us, it enables us to grow.”
