Our Opponents

The Dog and Duck
During the summer both WTFC and AFC R&D volunteers have been working at the Dog and Duck on various projects – of which Dale’s Bar is one of them – see here for the WTFC review of that work, and here for an update from AFC R&D. There is always a need for additional volunteers to help with ongoing maintenance and matchday work, so if you are able to volunteer please contact the club – details here.
