Midlands Watch 23/24

12-0 just enough to get the last playoff spot as well
 
And a gate of 56 watched.
63 at Wolverhampton

And no idea how many at Whitchurch
 
I watched a couple of V**s games early season as a member of the Witton groundstaff.
The quality of football and level of away support wasn't anyway near on a par with the counties .
As Congleton did accept ,plan and adapt for the league accordingly then see it as a opportunity to bounce straight back.
 
Hopefully the majority of fans see it that way. Easier route than competing in the Counties for promotion 🤔🤷‍♂️ We’ll soon find out. Could be a blessing in disguise. We’ll just have to see how it pans out.

Looks like we might have Hednesford joining us in the ML after all. They need to beat Bootle next Saturday to stand a chance of a reprieve and obviously Bootle have a play off spot to play for.

Some interesting points there, Tez. People will miss our support - I don't remember them having too many at Townfield earlier in the season, my memory is considerably less than we took to them! Other clubs don't want to see us go - does he really think promotion and relegation is done by beauty competition? And they don't seem to like Townfield.
 
Yes some of the comments seem a little mealy mouthed.
 
Definitely a ‘big wig’ mentality from some of their fans. No club has a divine right to be in any league. But they apparently seem to think getting back to Step 3 can be achieved just like that.

I don’t seem to remember them taking many to Townfield either. Hope we beat them next season if we do end up in the same league.

It seems to be a bit of "just because we played in the Conference 30 years ago we have every right to still be there"!! Doesn't quite work like that.

i was there yesterday, the expectancy from their fans was audible. They think they are a Conf Club by right , still act like they are entitled and seem to think they should be watching players of the standard of their glory years not honest Step 4 local players . Car Park £3, stewards and attendants all over the ground hired in from an external security firm, 2 plush bars, talk of a £10k a week budget next season which would be double even the highest in NPL West . One of their fans at least refers to a dose of reality but seems to see even the Vase as a punishment .
