Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Who would have thought the day would ever come....
« on: September 16, 2021, 05:18:45 AM »On the subject of Northwich-based teams, I see Witton got rinsed 9-0 at Matlock last night !When are Wythenshawe Town playing Macc? Should be an interesting one.Can't recall the date, but it clashes with one of our home games.
October 9th at Ericstan Park, which, yes, is when we are at home to Maidenhead.
Talking of deadly rivals, it was Hinckley LR (formerly Leicester Road) who beat St Martins 18-0 on Saturday. They play Hinckley AFC in the next round. Both clubs are spin-offs from Hinckley United, with LR keeping the ground and directors, but AFC keeping most of the supporters despite groundsharing outside the town. Supposedly, relations between the two clubs are not good at all, although as an outsider, you would think that the two clubs should surely merge.
It's like the Vics all over again. Very messy.
Cor blimey! And we think we have it bad...
And to think that Witton had a pretty handy Conference team at one time! I remember Jo (God rest him) once talking about some of the talent they used to have.
