<b>Lowestoft Town FC has appealed for translators to come forward ahead of tomorrow's match against Chorley, which is a town believed to be somewhere the other side of Scotland.</b>

Suffolk seaside gem Lowestoft, which is the most easterly town in the UK, is forced to play in the National League North - but it is so far away from the other sides that language barriers have become a problem.

Manager Ady Gallagher explained: "We'll have a little difficulty communicating with the Chorley bench as they speak a completely different language.

"For simple things like 'handball!' we can use sign language, but for debates over the offside rule we need to use real words."

A club insider added: "The problem is that the local pubs have taken both the Lancashire ex-pats in Lowestoft and they are now unavailable to us. We can manage languages of places nearby, and even have a Yorkshire branch of the Supporters Club to help us there, but get the other side of the Pennines and they might as well be talking Pirate!"

Local Trawler Boys fans believe there will not be too issues. One told the Suffolk Gazette: "I'm sure it will all go well for the big game. We're all British, after all. I know that the landlord of the Stanford Arms is anticipating a good and friendly crowd, and has ordered in an extra 15 cans of beer froth to make the Northerners feel at home when they drop in."

But the pub landlord added: "To give an example of our need for translators, Chorley supporter Deb Soopnorth called us as she boarded the flight to Lowestoft this morning, and we won't be able to understand what she said until the end of the day when a translator turns up."
