SIR: I have lived in North Wales for 25 years, but was born in Farnworth and as a 'Trotters' supporter, man and boy, I felt rather sad that yet another institution in my lifetime has disappeared.

I supported them regularly, when not playing myself, standing with a group of friends in the paddock.

The Lofthouse/Barras/Hanson/Moir was the period I remember best, I think and when I proudly became a car owner, I used to park outside my Aunt's house in Melville Street, Great Lever,

May I congratulate the team in achieving so much this season
