Everything I read and hear seems to indicate that Northwich are well and truly in the brown stuff e.g the winding up order from the civil servants, the high court order to pay Hodkinson's, the low attendances and poor points tally etc.
However why is everyone so certain that they will soon cease to exist........whereas things look very bleak, where is the hard evidence.

Maybe there will be a buyer, maybe they will go down the admin route or maybe they don't actually owe as much as people think and MC will clear the debt..........who knows ?

Am I missing something or is this all speculation at the moment ?

In answer to SW, I think it was Denis Law's last ever kick in English football, although I am sure he represented Scotland in the 1974 World Cup that Summer

The incident is recalled in his excellent autobiography, 'The King'. I think he was clearly upset and substituted. The City captain (Doyle ?) was not impressed and lost the head with him in the dressing rooms afterwards.

If anyone gets chance to read the book, it's a good read. Tells how football was in them days, and it's a real eye opener. If you dislike Manchester United, then don't be put off, it's about the great man and his involvement with football and life after (not just Utd)

Lots of stuff on here over the last few weeks - I am going to give it a miss for a fortnight before I lose my job, but before I do I thought I would make a post.

Last season we were relegated - nobody called for GH to be sacked
The season before last we were relegated - nobody called for GH to be sacked
This season we have not been relegated - lots of people want GH to be sacked.

My point is that nobody ever got relegated before Christmas.............so give the management a chance.....we have had tough games and despite seemingly bizare tactics, none of us have managed at this level before, so none of us can be completely sure of the reasoning behind the decisions. Let GH & DS engineer a great escape. What makes people so sure that a change will be a positive one ?
If we are relegated then review the situation again in May, but now let's all get behind the team.
For those that think we are relegated now, then 5th from bottom will be a huge bonus.

On the Conf N v Conf issue.......I would prefer to see us struggle against the FT teams and finish 19th, 2000 on boxing day etc, than play away at Alfreton and win.

Regards Geoff..........well he is one of those people who will always react like he does, its called frustration and speaking out and saying the wrong things. Who has not done that. Maybe Ecky should be spokesman (on seeing his silky slik PR skills on an earlier post ! If Geoff has offended, then be a little more thick skinned and remember that he is one member of a 7 person board who have done tremendous things for this club.

It could be worse..........we could have Connett and Warhurst

Forget it and don't be insulted Easter

Mr Chuckles
Not a bad representation of the game from your friend, although Munroe was sent off after the second goal and not before it. I very much doubt he would have been sent off if they had not scored the second goal !

Not sure why Asa played at left back, and was dissappointed to see him named there on the teamsheet. However it is worth mentioning that, on the day, he played very well considering what he was up against.
Not sure why Clancy did not play, but we do not know the whole story.......maybe he was not fit. We know Scotty was not fit and Wozza was used in a more preferred position.

Football management must be a 'funny old game'...........whilst Jim was getting his 'boys' fish and chips from Barneys after the match, we were watching England on the (impressive) new telly.
England; as everyone knows are ably managed by Steve McClaren, who was Jim's assistant only a few years ago !

PS I am not having a go at Jim Smith, he may be 67 and probably past it, but he started off in non-league and has 'done the business' at several clubs. He worked his way up through the lower league clubs and did not get a job on the back of being a high profile player.

Sorry, nowt to do with Alty, but a change from the recent posts etc

Let me know what the benefits have been to the club, team and supporters when the survey has been concluded...........should I go to the bookies and back the result ?

Rant over.
I apologise for the cynical comments, but I honestly believe it's too early to undertake the poll based on the fact that we have not seen the team play enough games yet

Sorry; but this is non-productive.
