What about this concernign Woodley Sports, weren't they advertising for a full time manager and full time squad or something...

WOODLEY SPORTS

In a following hearing Woodley Sports Football Club were charged with failing to comply with League Rules 2.5, 2.6 and 8.5 relating to Ground Grading Criteria and Security of Tenure compliance.

Woodley Sports Football Club were found guilty on the three charges and will be relegated at the end of the current playing season to a level determined by the Football Association. The club will not be allowed to participate in this seasons First Division North Play Offs if they qualify.

Both clubs have the right to appeal this decision to the Football Association.

It is, and I think it's about to be.

Hi ladies and Gents, I come in peace, very angry at the moment with Rushe and his cronies, kicked out of 2 leagues, no ground, no league as it stands and he still refuses to admit his incompetence - he is appealing the decision, but how and why is beyond me (his lawyers name is Mr Bean - I sh*t you not!).

 The Trust has started the wheels moving on founding a new club in the NWCL so it may be many years before we lock horns again in a meaningful fixture.
 If any of you want to log in to our forum and let this plank know what the loss of a true football rivalry means, not to mention nearly 140 years of football history, then feel free.

For what it's worth coming from a green, good luck for the rest of the season and for next season too - at least you will have one! :-\

I for one think that you should have done that when the your old ground was sold out from under you.
Good Luck with your new venture.......we might not be the greatest of friends, but no fans deserve the sort of treatment that you have had.

We're about to lose one of our oldest and bitterest rivals. It's a truly sad day when it comes to something like this. Without our rivals even part of ourselves is missing and all because of idiots like Connett and Rushe who don't know the first thing about football clubs and their fans. Good luck to the fans with the new club and I mean that most sincerely. Here's to a Christmas derby v the slime one day in the not too distant future!

Rivalry aside its dreadful news.

Another reason why I never want one man to be in charge of Alty, investment or no investment.

We have seen a number of Phoenix clubs do well in recent years, Chester, Halifax, Wimbledon etc.  Those all have excellent support - 1000 plus hardcore fans.  Runcorn are more similar to Vics, hardcore support in the hundreds at best. Consequently I fear they will take a hell of a time to get back up to the level they've played at this season.  Sorry Vics fans.

C'mon Alty...

I agree with that. The key is that Chester and Halifax were able to carry on at their existing ground, and Wimbledon have a much bigger support base. Vics will probably have to start from zero, like Runcorn Linnets have done.

good luck to the vics fans....we need the green and sh*te rivalry, in an odd way we are lesser for their demise...we are more likely to play macc before vics now.

as their phoenix rises i hope they give maximum publicity to the arses who took them down to their death and make connett and rushe look as stupid as they are.

seriously good luck to them the salt licking green and white chamber pots.... ;)

and that theory is true for Glasgow Celtic / Rangers.  Local clubs need each other.

Good luck guys. I for one hope you make a go of it as I miss the derby games and the rivalry between ourselves.
For you to have any chance though I feel you must start again as others have and work your way up, and hopefully it will not be to long before our two clubs meet again.
Once again, good luck to you.
