Thanks Ben, likewise. I do occasionally bite but sometimes its hard not to! I have a genuine passion for local, non-league football as I grew up with it, give me it any day of the week over paying £50 plus to go and watch a Premier League club. The way things are going I have genuine concerns that I am not going to have such an option in 5/10 years time. Hence why this arrangement (however it will pan out) makes complete sense to me for both clubs.Paul seems like a decent chap to me who knows his local football. Always fair minded and reasoned in his posts in comparison to one or two other Wittoners who've posted on here in the past.
As for attendances, yes Pete is right, there has been a decline in crowds across the board not only in Mid Cheshire but in local football in general. That said, I agree with Kit that there is support out there and we need to do more to build our fan base and get our message out there in a positive and pro-active manner, which in my view would be easier from Witton. Look at what crowds we attracted when we first formed 1874.
I don't expect us to get crowds in the high hundreds or even thousand plus as Vics managed in the not too distant past, but there's no reason why we can't average 300-400 which would be very good for the level we play at and even in higher leagues.
