West Auckland Town FC's name in lights as 'new' Wembley celebrates ten years

SOUTH Shields FC and York City may have taken the honours on the pitch at Wembley last weekend, but West Auckland Town FC were also up in lights at the stadium.

The club’s name a colours were displayed on the famous Wembley arch and also outside the stadium, alongside the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United plus a host of international side.
West Auckland Town FC’s Dave Bussey said: “Although we ended up runners-up in the final it was a fantastic experience – and how many non league teams can say they have graced the hallowed turf.
“We’re sure you’ll agree that the stadium looks fantastic with our name and colours.  Thank you to Wembley for the gesture and happy birthday.”
