Six go, leaving Vics short on numbers
1:19pm Monday 23rd February 2009
By Andrew Simpson »
HALF a dozen players have asked to follow Steve King out of the exit door at the Marston’s Arena. The six – Jay Conroy, Dean Lodge, Dean McDonald, Owen Price, Steve Robinson and Stuart Robinson – are all likely to have their wish granted. None will face Kettering tomorrow, Tuesday.
Steve Robinson and Lodge are under contract, leaving them to negotiate their impending departures with owner Jim Rushe.
Rushe, who doubles up as manager of Cheshire League Division One title chasers Woodley, is likely to be on the bench for the visit of the Poppies. *
+Assume that means he will be managing the side?
-
This is getting daft now. We might get to the AGM Cup with no relegation spots to be decided.
-
By the way, if Woodley are 'title-chasers', then so are we. They lie 14th out of 21 and are 12 points off the playoff (20 odd off the top)
-
THIS LEAGUE IS A JOKE - FACT !!!

All the Southern players buggering off once King leaves, and no northern players to mak eup the numbers?
What a shock! ::) I couldn't possibly have seen that coming, in fact I'm still astounded that Steve King wasn't a success coming up from the other end of the country. :D

In actual fact Woodley (not Woodley Sports) are second in the first division of the Cheshire Football League (formerly Mid Cheshire League) One point behind Middlewich Town with two games in hand.
The next step up from the Cheshire League is the North West Counties so, in time and with a following wind and the luck of the draw we could be playing them in The Cheshire Senior Cup.

I thought that, but after a bit of digging found another Woodley, without the sports..

You got their first :)

Coincidently, it appears Woodley Sports do have a connection to Vics, as Ben Connett now appears to be playing for them.

Just to 'in actual fact' you back ATS, I think you'll find that THAT Woodley is Woodley Sports Reserves.
Stalybridge Reserves are fourth, Trafford Reserves are sixth and Curzon Ashton Reserves are bobbing around mid-table.
(Incidentally, that would be a good league to put our reserves in if we ever start them up again IMO)

Kettering are 4/5.....could be fill your boots time!

To return the favour Mr Saughall, the Woodley in the Cheshire League (a league on which I officiate) are absolutely, 100% nothing whatsoever to do with Woodley Sports and could be considered as Northwich reserves in all but name.
I do by the way agree entirely about it being a good place to put a reserve side and, given the increasing number of Reserve teams from fairly senior North West non league clubs in the league it may not be quite such a poor standard as is currently perceived.
FYI up to the end of last season there were reserve sides from Witton and FCUM also in the league.

Correct Jenga. A farce, a joke and a laughing stock.
what this league needs is a huge dose of reality.

It's my own fault for believing the NLP! In the league tables in the back of it, it shows the team as their reserves ::)

I Know. It's quite annoying isn't it? ::) ;)
Never checked to make sure my reply was on - it wasn't.
What I said was something along the lines of ;
"It was shown as Woodley Res in the NLP tables for the Cheshire League but I'll never trust them again!"
-
I have tried and I cant work out how to use the quote facility.
Please enlighten me.
Before I am accused of being thick, I do know how to spell (apart from the odd careless error or mistype) and use punctuation marks!!!!

About the only sensible thing in the whole piece is this,
"With little prospect of support from the top of the game – the only thing that trickles down in football is the unsustainable financial expectations of players – the chances are we will see as many as half a dozen lower-league clubs going bust by the end of the season, as a financial model that has never been plausible unravels."

Thesports writers in the Daily Telegraph (the Conservative Party at Breakfast) know as much about non-league football as any other fans of either Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal or Man U.
