See you in the midlands sunshine, hopefully all your die hards grow some balls and get behind your team, rather than hiding in a corner of the groundI'll take that as a yes.
I'm a Wittoner but some of your comments are baffling.See you in the midlands sunshine, hopefully all your die hards grow some balls and get behind your team, rather than hiding in a corner of the ground
Just a bit of funI'm a Wittoner but some of your comments are baffling.
What all three of themI saw and heard them screaming and shouting about "The Tricky Boys" in Keele Services on the M6 this evening and I thought they must have had a big win and not a 1-1 draw. How embarrassing!
Unlike the fall and fall of NVFC. . 30 odd years as a Conference club. Now playing 4 steps below that level and no chance of ever getting back there.The rise and fall of 74 Another good result again today, can we hear the midlands sing I can't hear a f******g thing
I was there on Tuesday night and it appeared that the proper fans were the Vics fans, getting behind their team in the 2nd half with the noise/chanting, whilst the 1874 fans were quiet the whole game apart from the laser they brought in and shined in the Vics goal keepers face, also come full time there were no 1874 fans left to clap their team off.They’re not proper Vic’s fans

Genuine neutrals, yes. I have my doubts over Mr Dent.Is it not in your interest to get these neutrals following your club instead of questioning them.
We are more than happy to welcome any new fans at Witton
Glad to see that I can still stir you into action Knutsfordian!I think I have done quite well to keep the key board under wraps until now - but reading James' comment found me pressing the keys once more
On previous threads we have discussed at length the pressures and costs of keeping a team at a reasonable level in non-league and what could be done to fix that. You will be overjoyed to know I don't intend to revisit those discussions here. . What I do ned to comment on is the failure of WAFC to capitalise on their position since 2012. I think its a fairly simple answer and that is we have failed to get enough folks through the turnstiles. I reckon it probably takes a gate of say 1000 (or gates and fundraising equivalent to that) to keep a team safe and competitive in the NPL. It places an enormous strain on the directors of the club and a number of solid seasons can be undone by one poor year when the club hasn't got the reserves to spend their way out of trouble. (As WAFC demonstrated) The one income source that allows a club to suddenly make that step is the FA Cup. One can only hope that a run in that competition comes our way soon. As Marine have shown it can change a club for a generation, but given our recent cup performances it doesn't look like happening soon.
Putting football aside - Happy New Year to one and all.

I had become increasingly concerned about you, particularly given your lack of posts about the considerable and tangible benefits of Brexit we’ve seen since the vote to leave in 2016!
Anyhow, moving onto footy and specifically your comments about Albions success - or otherwise - since 2012, I think that is two are agreed on the point that the only way that football in the town can progress to any higher level than NPL Premier is to have one team in town.
But to achieve that then Albion as fans and as a club will have to give up all the seeming opportunities they have and I just can’t see that happening.
But as my mate Andy Chadwick has admitted to me in more than one occasion. that the problem with Witton is that we don’t have Northwich in our name. So not only do new people to the town know where Witton is, businesses who are based in the town are less likely to back a club that apparently isn’t based in the town
I thought that it was Greg Rioch (Bruce’s son) who was in temporary charge at the end of that season.By coincidence my son is trying to compile a list of the football games he has been to, and asked for my help. So I got out some of my old Vics programmes last night ,starting with the last game of 2004 at Gravesend and Northfleet. Vics were bottom of the conference and I thought it would be their last game ( as we all know it wasn't.) The manager, Shaun Teale, was replaced by Steve Burr and as far as I could tell only two players survived from 2004 into 2005/6.
I suspect Damian is on a similar path for much the same reason. Hopefully he will not be held back by repeated 10 point deductions for financial mis dealings.
But good enough to beat 1874 last weekUnlike the fall and fall of NVFC. . 30 odd years as a Conference club. Now playing 4 steps below that level and no chance of ever getting back there.
All thanks to the actions of the three unwise monkeys - Nuttall, Rafferty and Stone - who completely f****d up the sale of TDF and the construction of the VS and then first the Conman and then Rushe the drug dealer - whom some Vics fans chose to trust as opposed to their own fellow supporters. Says a massive amount about their judgement and character.
Never forget that some of us were around when Vics were a great side. The current bunch wouldn’t be fit to lace their boots.
Clearly! But that was just one game.But good enough to beat 1874 last week.
