On Friday morning the club received a phone call that the Shed End had been torn out of the ground by the gale-force winds that were battering the region.

After volunteers dangerously attempted to secure it until it was safe for further inspection, a large section peeled over the wall into the empty car park behind the ground, thankfully causing minimal damage which could have been a lot worse at a peak time. With the winds showing no signs of dissipating, a handful of volunteers took the decision to dismantle the stand so no further damage was caused to surrounding properties.
 

Work carried on by floodlight late into Friday night by volunteers all doing their bit in dangerous conditions under the unstable structure, until it was safe to leave overnight for work to re-commence in the morning. By the next morning the winds had died down, and the cleanup operation resumed with help from the usual volunteers plus local affiliates of Clitheroe Wolves, E&D Plant Hire, and Clitheroe Light Engineering to which the club are grateful.
