Sport minister visits Nantwich Town FC
8:42am Friday 16th May 2008
LABOUR'S sport minister has given his backing to candidate Tamsin Dunwoody on the by-election trail in Nantwich.
Andy Burnham MP joined Tamsin Dunwoody on a visit to Nantwich Town football club.
The club was promoted at the start of the month to the Unibond Premier Division, their second promotion success in as many years.
Tamsin Dunwoody said: "Nantwich Town is clearly a club on the up.
"Having moved into a new stadium and won promotion two years in a row, its no wonder more and more people want to watch them play.
"I was really pleased to bring Andy Burnham here to see such a great local success story.
"This club, like the Alex, is a vital part of our community.
"I just hope that their winning streak rubs off on me!"
Mr Burnham added: "I was really pleased that Tamsin brought me to Nantwich Town to meet the club.
"They have done fantastically well to win back-to-back promotion.
"They are a real example to lower league clubs across the country.
"The money Nantwich won from the Football Foundation has been instrumental to the success of this team and I was pleased to come and view the new stadium today.
"It is clear to me that Tamsin cares passionately about this community and, just like her mum, will stand up for local people."

But, I have been greatly impressed by her and her grasp of the big issues - such as why it was important to compensate the 10p tax loosers and the dangers of unregulated Muslims preachers in the community.
Keep up the good work Tamsin, go make your mother proud.

The point is very simple but obviously escaped you. Tamsin Dunwoody accused the Tory of being a toff because of the price of his house, and yet Tony Blair, the Labour PM that was has just brought one worth £4,000,000 the point being that Labour have nothing to say except attack the opposition as they have little to promote for themselves.
