Brand new for 2022, a play inspired by Guiseley AFC , commissioned by Guiseley Theatre in partnership with  Codswallop CIC and supported by Leeds Inspired!

​

The heart of any football club is its fans. The heart of its fans is the club.

​

It’s 1991 and Guiseley AFC are heading to Wembley to play in the final of the FA Vase against Gresley Rovers, but the drama doesn’t all happen on the pitch!

​

United by their love for The Lions, a community  cast joins professional actors as they journey to find out what it truly means to belong.​

​

"It was brilliant! We loved every minute. Such a passionate, enlightening, emotional and sincere journey. Great production, wonderful performances and everything felt like it came from the heart. One of the best things we've seen. Bloody fantastic! You should all be very proud."

​

"Brilliant evocation of what football really means to people. Great writing, innovative direction, and ultra-enthusiastic performances. To paraphrase Brian Clough: "I'm not saying it's the best show I've seen about football - but it's in the top one."
