A great night for the boys, max points for Warrington now 91, so with goal difference, we need 10 points from 6 games.

But, let alone Warrington Town, Rylands were talking about their EFL ambitions this week in the Non-League Paper. Some people are delusional, though, pretty clearly.

Anyway, excellent results for us once more with Ashton United starting to look like the team who might hit the playoffs in good form.

Good team, we've had some crackers against them this season - would like them to win the playoffs.

Whilst broadly agreeing, let's not forget that many of us mocked Boreham Wood when they went full time, and they're now looking at National League play offs.  And when Accrington bloody Stanley got out of NWCL1 in 86/7, who saw THEM looking at the third tier next season ? We're in the gutter now, and we SHOULD be staring at the stars, then aiming for them. No ambition, no progress.

Too right Foden. If only the football club was up for sale for us to talk about to the outside world, and we weren’t being held back by the mindset of a few still living in 2003.

If only...

You can differentiate between realistic ambitions and those based on fantasy or thin air. For example, Boreham Wood were and are in a league where most teams are full time, so if they could actually afford to do so, that did make sense, although it did seem very odd to go full-time mid-season. On the other hand, when Stockport Sports appointed Peter Withe as their manager and went full-time in the NWCL on gates of less than 100, I thought that was absurd, and they folded mid-season less than 2 years later.

AFC Fylde have had 2022 on their shirts for more than a decade now as their target date to enter the Football League, which seemed like a long time  then, but after steady planned progress and a lot of money, does seem all too possible now. I contrast that to Rylands who have apparently been turned down by the NWCL, and are in the bottom half of the Cheshire League Prem, but are still talking about the Football League!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: as a business- any kind of business- you have to have a long-term (5+years) vision. Once you have a vision, you then put in place a plan (year-by-year) to allow you to achieve that vision. And once you have the plan, only then can you direct resources (both human and/or technical) to make that plan happen.

Unless the board can come up with a strategic review that leads to an ultimate vision for the Club, we're simply treading water.

Let's have the vision. Let's have the goal (pardon the pun). And let's get the entire Club: the board, the management, the supporters working together towards one common goal.

Lawrence Looney's comments at the recent forum thingy were interesting in that he said the 5 (now 4) year review wasn't accompanied by a plan and it was his job to assemble one and more importantly set out means by which it can be delivered. York City's chairman has just resigned revealing their required income which could also reasonably sustain Conf National football with all the assoc staff costs etc is over £1m pa - twice that of ours. A FL club, presumably a number of 100s of thousands more. In the absence of a credible bidder for the 51% shares such as Macc's Mr Alkadhi (currently owed £1.2m and counting) we're going to have to at least double our income. It's a big challenge that's for sure and that's why we need new blood and new ideas on the Board.
