I think if possible we should try and get Sheffield FC away...I was gutted when it got called off this year, especially seeing as it should have been on Saturday and would have avoided this big mess.

Away games at;

Chester City
Vauxhall Motors
Airbus UK
Connah's Quay Nomads

All within 5 or 6 miles of home would suit me down to the ground!   :D ::)

Because United asked us for a fixture on the same day, and obviously, United at home was more lucrative than Sheffield away.  :-\ :( >:( ???

What about the Cheshire Senior Cup being played as a pre-season tournament with L2, BSP and BSN teams involved?
2 mini-leagues of 4 or 5 playing eachother once and the top of each league playing off in the final?

Off the top of my head, to include perhaps;

Alty
Stockport
Chester
Vics
Stalybridge
Macc

Other places to be filled by last 4 of a qualifying competition the previous season.


This would also cut down fixture congestion during the season

DON'T BE SO STUPID!

The Cheshire FA could not organise a piss up in a brewery never mind a pre season tournament!

There are a plethora of North West clubs that I'm sure we could get friendlies against. We've got a good relationship with Rotherham so I hope that continues. It seems quite obvious, but the more teams we develop relationships with, the more chance of us picking up players from them on loan etc.

Rotherham United (that 5-4 win over them last Summer was the most entertaining game of last season at Moss Lane...)

LA Galaxy

Pete Doherty's Showbiz XI

Galatasary

FC Victoria of Northwich (fans' club founded after Northwich Victoria FC fold due to financial problems)

Alty FC Idols

Boca Juniors

Lucy Liu's All Star Women's XI
