Secretary’s Report 1927-28
Since the last Annual General Meeting the Supporters Club have undertaken many activities. The Annual Workshop Competition was again an unqualified success and the final between Manningham Mills and Fun Fabric was a most exciting game and resulted in a win for the Mannignham Mills who won the Challenge Cup kindly presented by own President by Mr A Hey. During the summer further work was done on the terracing on Spion Kip and the re-backing of the South Parade Stand was carried out the Supporters Club bearing the expense. A good many social events have been held during the winters and the districts have been very keen to make success of these events and Jolle and Shipley have got good local Committees to carry out this work. The Bazaar was responsible for raising over £1,000 for the New Players Fund but did not receive the patronage expected.
