Harriers floodlight fight takes another twist

East Cheshire Harriers' fight to replace condemned floodlights at the Richmond Street track has taken another twist.

Harriers have received financial help from Tameside Council and Sport England but still have a shortfall of £7,000.

Reporter Sport has covered the club's fight to raise funds over the past nine months.
