So the remainder must be made up from a lot of people with relatively Small holdings - like my late father in law. The issue might be would they be able to coalesce to form a voting bloc to counter the three major shareholders?
I don't think you would necessarily have to counter the three major shareholders, they might be the one's most amenable to change. The folks least likely to want change are the small shareholders.

No howls of protest or dissent true enough. Little support either it has to be said, aside of (and correct me if i’m wrong) a poster who is related to one of the playing squad. So not much to get excited about thus far.
I am not sure WAFC is in the weakest position here. The club has a substantial asset - its own ground - even though that may not be worth the sums that were once being talked about. Given the way that the surrounding area has developed, its more likely to be of value to Thor than anyone else and at what price is subject to question. In any event that's unlikely to be for housing as you correctly point out. That said replacing Wincham Park with a similar facility would not come cheap - as you guys are finding out.
Trouble is though Edge I suspect it was a sarcastic side swipe at the idea of a merger rather than a full bodied endorsement of 1874 .
It’s a bit ironic that the sale of the drill field and the central ground were supposed to springboard both NVFC and WAFC to the higher reaches of the conference and potentially into the football league. Here we are 20 years later with both NVFC and WAFC (And 1874 of course) 2 or 3 leagues lower prior to the sale of the towns jewels…
It should be remembered that it was the investment from the sale of the Central Ground that financed the Witton team of the early 90's - conference football, 3 successive trophy semi finals, FA cup ties plus a trip to Wembley. Poor financial management, a catastrophic law suit regarding the pitch and a failure to sustain the investment brought it all to a crashing end. But it was the investmnet that allowed it to happen - and that's what is required again
Colne going bust helped as well
yes agreed a few of the players came from Colne, but it still needed money to bring them to WPColne going bust helped as well
Of course it was. I agree that It is a no brainer that a town the size of northwich is only big enough to have one football club competing at a decent level ie conference north or full conference possibly (or whatever it is called nowadays).
