With our ex-neighbours choosing to go to Stafford Rangers for their home games next season it is perhaps apt that on Tuesday night they play their ‘local derby’ at Chasetown.
Enjoy.

Mind-boggling that they find themselves in this truly laughable position.What the hell will JR do next?
This is fast becoming a soap-opera of Dallas like helpings,fat cigars,wide shoulder pads{for the dames} and a smoking gun.
As they say"if you build it they will come"
Thank your god for our tin-pot,gater riddled swamp.
From slightly the outside looking in,on many occasions when no respect was paid,lets laugh and watch them swim for their lives.
I guess you guys don’t like them much!!! SBL
There is supposed to be a major announcement by Jim Rushe’s mouth peice, Steve McNally, at some point today. The mind boggles as to what comes next.
is steve mcnally this months new manager?.
Have just walked past their shop in the town. He’s in there as a meet & greet.
At least I’m 95% sure it was him!!!

i am in town later this afternoon, must pop in to have a look.
They are getting really “Shirty” on the Guardian blog site, especially with me I am proud to say!! After so many years of hearing them gloating it is an unbounded joy to see them grovel.
WHS.
“Wheres thier money gone, wheres thier money gone”, you just could not make up the latest :laugh:
£4m, 7k capacity stadium.
And ready for the season after next!
The Albs are staring easy money in the face - pay per play opportunity has to make sense,it would be like having 2 major sponsors.( and don’t bother replying with the over my dead body vitriol)
I wonder if they’ll pay off their debts too?
What’s the point in charging them a fee when they don’t pay up.
Sorry Forever and Ever, we don’t want or need “Dirty” money. And I agree with Rabbit, who is to say they will pay up?

And with their new 7000 state of the art stadium set for opening in the 2013/14 season and their current groundshare arrangement with Stafford in place for next season how exactly would we gain financially?
We should keep our own counsel and wait and watch from the side lines, if we spot an opportunity that means we are in control and prosper then consider it, but we do not have to do anything in truth, I trust our board to make the right decisions.
Why not simply let the competition die? In business you do not bale out your competitor, you take over its customers.

WHS,
No one dislikes them more than I do, but things will change over the coming months, the current Vs under Rushe might survive and prosper with new backers and new ground ( but I doubt it! you need Wellies to go on the VS forum there is that much Bull*t ) NO benefit to us and we would not want to deal with them anyway based on past performance, however we might see a new club formed as an alterantiave to the current or if it goes bust, then we might be looking at new set of people to deal with who may need a home and would pay reasonable money, now they might not want to do that but suspect they would, if we do not help them at all then they will do it with someone else and will come back aka Runcorn eventually, so for Witton it is simply a question of what will be the best solution /fit for us short and long term, let them go on alone or take a benefit, if we were dealing with decent people like James Wood for example then why not, I dislike VS but like the rivalry so not sure about killing them off, however I do want Witton to be the number one team in the town so we need to consider what benefits us - over to the Witton Board.
Spot on.
