We have a good win at Whitby & within this thread there’s news about NVFC. Let’s just concentrate on WAFC.

I take your point GE but come on, both sets of green shite lost and we won away from home. Surely it’s ok to point that out at 4.45 on a Saturday afternoon…
Their game today being a cup game could’ve had consequences on the use of the stadium. A draw would’ve meant an extra game on the pitch. Our Global Calendar takes account of everything at Wincham Park including Northwich Victoria games, that is my only reason for posting.
I agree with GE
