Post by: Ukrainian Alty on September 18, 2021, 03:53:51 PM: I don't really like the moniker 'Bulls'. I guess it is made in reference to the Jersey breed of cattle, however, I would have been more impressed if they would have called themselves Jersey New Potatoes.
:) ;) :D

Does that qualify?

I think it's Shifnal's first ever season at this level (North West Counties Premier equivalent) and they have now gone second in the table, overtaking Worcester City.

Post by: Sale Holmfield on September 18, 2021, 09:56:38 PM: They are back in Worcester now, but playing at the Worcestershire County FA HQ. I believe they have managed to fit a couple of kit stands into what's a very basic ground, and they get 400 or so watching them each week, which is good for the level.
The other oddity in the city is that a club called Worcester Raiders have got a groundshare with Worcester Warriors rugby union, although City get much better crowds.
Yes, I agree, Worcester City are really a club of the same stature as ourselves, which is why I mentioned them being leapfrogged by smaller clubs.
