has anybody checked out the odds for the league,i dont know what they are but do fancy us for the play-offs :goal
Most online bookmaker’s stop at the Evostick Prem but ive heard PP Racing in town are going to be offering odds on the NPL North as they do with most Witton games.
Heard Warrington are 3-1 favourites ! Witton are 7-1 not sure who with tho ?
That’s quite reasonable for us. With a new management team in place and so many new additions nobody knows what to expect.
And that could be the key to our success. Just like when we went up and took everyone by surprise!

I don’t want to tempt fate but the last time we were in the First Division North, our opening fixture was at home to Ossett Albion. We won 4-0 and we all know what happened at the end of that season.
I always have a flutter on us but 7-1 is not that great a temptation, 10-1 and my wallet gets opened. I suggested a few years ago some of us could get together and have a punt on us with the winnings going to the team as a bonus but nothing came of it sadly.

That’s perhaps because its illegal Alan
Supporters backing their team and donating their winnings to the club cannot be illegal, if players or officials did it then yes it would be illegal.
I might be wrong in this but I think the ruling also applies to people working in a voluntary capacity for their club.
Putting a bet on any club and then giving the players or the club the money is illegal, because the club are (indirectly) benefiting which is clearly stated by the FA a criminal offence.
Yeh because the fa, uefa, fifa et al are all squeaky clean organisations hey.
What daft rule. How would they know the donation was from a bet?

Think 7-1 is pretty generous for us. Warrington, Bamber, the Jim Rushe eleven, Droylesden will all be up there with Spennymoor, Scarborough unknown quantities. Bamber have signed Brett Ormerod and an experienced midfielder to their existing squad that did well last year. Jim R will of course still have a healthy budget even though he’s paying us for the groundshare, and I’ve heard Warrington are throwing money at it and Mr Pace always does his best to finance matters at Droylesden. So basically what I’m trying to say is its gonna be tough getting out of this league at first ask. I hope we can do it but it really is one hell of a thing to do.
Really would like to see us get some pride and enthusiasm back in the club so a top 8 place and a decent cup run earning some decent dosh would be nice and realistic. Anything else would be a real bonus methinks.
Friendlies are just that but 7/1 is looking more and more tempting as the weeks pass. Is the bookies at top of town offering this price?
I heard the other day that he’s closing down soon!?
pp racing closed down last week
Gutted to hear this we used PP Racing every away game as he always did decent odds for Witton games
Its unusual for a Bookies to shut does anyone know why hes packed in?
he told one of the lads at work that he could’nt compete with the big names
Shame as he was a decent bloke and would always have a chat and treated his customers like friends unlike the big companies who treat everyone as walking wallets!
Saying that i took great delight in collecting £290 from him after our play off final, plus the £105 after the Whitby weekend a couple of years ago
