Its Victory Park Stadium will open its doors on Wednesday (25 Dec) to help those who find the festive season to be a sad time of year.

A Chorley FC spokesperson said “One question we keep being asked is, ‘why?’

“A simple answer – why not.”

“If one person turns up and isn’t alone, then it’s worth opening the doors.
