It appears that another club could be in trouble. Has anyone else heard a rumour that Vics have gone into administration? ---

I have been saying that Vics are on the way to oblivion for some time. Their owners must have lost a packet on the Stock Market and are sure to want to unload any asset that is not paying its way, and Vics certainly are not. Anyone know exactly how we stand finacially? I know we have assets, the ground etc. but how much in debt excatly are we? WHS. ---

Vics fan, I will lay money that it turns out to be true. There is no smoke without fire. Time you came back to our ground where you few supporters won’t get lost in the acres of space you have at Connett’s ground, oh and our electricity bill has been paid. Seriously, a ground share is the only sensible option left open to you, you can’t go on as you are, and neither can we for that matter. I don’t want amalgamation, but sharing costs makes perfect sense. Mind you, by the time you read this it maybe already too late. WHS. ---

Dear vi8, The reason for considering having Vics back is simple, MONEY. They have more supporters than Runcorn, eat more pies and drink more beer. They will also be expected to pay a bigger rent. Who knows, rather than continuing to support a club with no ground their present owners may wish to invest in Witton instead once they see our potential. I have no interest in whether Vics survive or not, but if they can help us financially while they are still around I say let’s go for it. WHS.
