From the main site:

One team definitely calling Valley Road [Flixton] home next season is Northwich Villa.

'After much discussion I have managed a share move for us to play there', said new secretary Ken Stevenson. The North West Counties League has the same security of tenure regulations as the Northern Premier League, but has decided to make an exception for Villa. 'The intention was for Northwich Villa to continue playing at Winsford but that changed when the latter amended the terms of the original ground share', said a spokesman.

'Villa therefore looked for a new venue, and the league's emergency committee approved this one'. Winsford wanted to be paid next season’s rent before a ball is kicked. But Villa, who switched to Barton Stadium in January after the Victoria Stadium’s new owners Thor Specialities (UK) Ltd said football could no longer be played there, refused".


They're not daft are they!

Are all the teams from there the same? (With the exception of Witton, that is!)

Rushe is involved at Northwich Villa.......think they were previously Woodley FC which Rushe owned before Vics. They are now effectively Vics Reserves

I note that he is now asking the FA to force the Evo-stick to let them play at Flixton.......despite the FA not giving Valley Road the required ground grading for Step 4.
Will be interesting to see if they get to play there and also what action the Flixton Chairman and his boys will take when the first cheque bounces

Are any fans going to watch them next season? Seriously. Is a single Northwich fan going to carry on watching what's left of that club?

Very sad what's happened.

I now class Northwich Villa as bigger rivals than Northwich Victoria (2012)
