I know this is much earlier than I normally post info on away matches but it is a long trip and people might need some planning. I have to admit to them not being my favourite club - but that is because I first saw them play 70 years + ago at their near neighbours, and the first non-league side I supported, Whitley Bay.
More seriously, from talking to Vicky yesterday the club is looking into sending a bus up there. We don't know the likely price (although I overheard figures of £25 to £30 being spoken of) but Vicky would like indications of interest to see whether or not it will be a viable proposition. Let her know at secretary@1874northwich.com or by text.
