Joking and rivalry aside. I do think that it will go the other way for you soon - a win on the board makes a massive difference. I reckon you`ll be in the top half at the end of the season.Its basically the same squad as last year minus Barauss.
I dont know but I would doubt if the playing budget has decreased.
Weve just had a bad couple of weeks and as happens at all football clubs people start to pick fault and criticise, it happened with you lot last year when you weren't playing well.
Theres some good sides in the prem and I was never under any illusions we wouldn't have it all our own way. We have a good squad and when everyones fully fit we are more than capable of going on a run
Similarly to Witton’s predicament (perhaps?) I think 500 plus is not unreasonable, alas only for certain games (for ‘74 that would more likely be cup games at our present Step) but not on a regular basis in my humble opinion........Yes you did have better crowds when you were one but once you split you also split the fan base. With the feeling between you all I cant see any fan altering their allegiance any time soon........
If you think you can attract crowds of 500 plus then good luck. I find that highly unlikely
Tez, I agree with you to some extent, except I do believe gates of 600-800 are achievable for one of the Northwich clubs although maybe not at the moment. Sadly for Albion, they have always been in the shadow of NVFC except for a few years of success when they used up the proceeds from the Central Ground sale to finance a half decent side. They do not have the ‘Northwich’ name and I think that impacts on them. I believe a Northwich based 1874 with a half decent team could achieve reasonable support, or a resurgent NVFC (god forbid) if they reached out to the community and proved themselves to be honest and transparent in the next 5 years. I believe a potential fan base is still there, I think the descent of NVFC turned a lot of people off non-league football in our town. Returning to Northwich is vital to our own future and I honestly think if we were playing within our own town games like yesterday would attract nearer 500. I remember seasons watching Vics where a large number of games only attracted 600-odd.
I stand by my view that one ground somewhere in town for both Witton and 1874 to share would help both clubs in this regard particularly if there were adjoining sporting facilities for the community to use. Appreciate that the older generations on both the green and red side would never want to see this happen but I don't think the younger and future fans would have a problem with it.
You have no idea what your talking about
My point was purely for Toddy to correct my mistake. To be fair he's usually pretty good at thatYou have no idea what your talking about
