just heard that the arabs are to ground share this season and next with… Skelmersdale!
That HAS to be a joke!! Who the hell is going to go to Skem to watch Vics? In the words of the song, “Time to say goodbye”!
WHS.
Is Skelmersdale’s ground graded as Unibond Premier standard?
EDIT
Apparently it is, as Burscough have been playing there this season.
Vics cannot possibly think that this is a viable option. It wouldn’t surprise me if Rushe is thinking of changing the name of the club because very few Vics supporters are going to go to Skem for home games. Time for their supporters to step in, take them into the North West Counties and start again. If they don’t there truly will be only one club in the town.
WHS.
They are still living in cloud cuckoo land.
I thought they were living in Skelmersdale? :silly:
Robbo, same difference, I’ve been to Skelmersdale!!
WHS
On a seperate note: I’ve always wondered where ‘The Arabs’ came from as a nickname? :unsure:
AAAArrrrrhhhhhhh from the good old days before political correctness was even invented.
Heard this afternoon that Skelmersdale may not be where they lay their ugly heads but a wee bit closer across an even bigger canal though.
I suspect that this is a con, basically to gain acceptance with the league you have to name a fixed ground or ground share to play at, I think they will play there this season and then look for a new location and give backword to Skem, if they keep going next season I cannot see it being at Skem. However the ground grade at Skem cannot be conference standard so I doubt they can gain promotion.
Wherever it is Andy Simpson can no longer maintain they are the “Top Team in Town”, they won’t even be in the vicinity!!
WHS.
i think you under estimate the graudian and its bias towards the slimey green arabs 
I have NEVER underestimated the Guardian’s bias towards the Arabs, that’s why they banned me from their paper.
WHS.
As “The Arabs” have now become nomadic, maybe we could rename them “The Bedouin”. Where’s your caravan etcetera.
Would that not be an insult to Bedouins who live in lavish tents? This lot doesnt even own a tent peg never mind a whole tent.
Isn’t loitering within tent an offence?
True, to be falsely associated with V*** would be an insult to any individual or group.
Why do I still feel they will get bailed out? Why do they always come up smelling of roses? But if our council even consider using OUR money to bail them out we should be ready to picket the council offices and the councillors. We have a town centre that is dying, if they have spare cash they should use it to help the poor shop owners not this devious lot.
WHS.
It will be interesting to see how long they will ‘carry on camping’.
Must say WHS for once I disagree with you. Had the misfortune to walk around Northwich shopping area the other day (1st time in over 15 years). Its not dying its dead…The place is dire and those responsible should hang their heads in shame. What once was a vibrant town is sadly no more. Full of charity shops and empty shops…SBL
