I think in the long run and with the size of squad Witton have got its been Promotion first minor cup competitions a definate “run out” . FA Trophy would have been fantastic to go the extra round, but did anyone see the gates for the last round ? Nothing spectacular and only 420 for Matlock v Kidderminster… In my misplaced optimisism if we had got through I would have guessed 1000 minimum gate at Wincham Park, but now i doubt we would have got 600
Also looking at attendances throughout the non-league up to Blue sq north and south most are barely scraping 400 !!!, unibond premier last week I think we would have been the second highest gate had our match been in that league. Its awful all over .Thats the underlying reason i gave finacial support, i could forsee this happening. look at Glapwell v Kidsgrove 130 top table clash !! Its going to be a very tough winter The critisism of the performances are fair enough, but i do think that the team will come through an indifferent spell.we just have to tough it out Football is entertainment industry and the higher up you get the better it gets.
Witton have been there before so we know . Lets hope in future seasons Witton can get there again and sustain it a lot longer.
