I’m at AFC Telford where dozens of volunteers have responded to the calls for help.
Among them is Natalie Hall, 34, from Wellington, who told me: “I’ve come to help because this is my community. I’ve lived in Telford all my life. I feel like we need to give back.”
Kevin Short, 38, from Wellington, said: “I’ve been supporting the team for the past five years. I just wanted to do my bit to help and support the club. The club is a big deal for people in this area.”
I’m told the stadium has flooded a few times in the past 10 years but never like yesterday. Kitchen, changing room, offices and gym affected.
New fridges only installed two weeks ago are no longer working.
Wolves ladies were due to play here this coming Sunday but now that’s been cancelled.
They are hopeful the men’s match against Cleethorpes Town F.C. on October 5 will still go ahead.
