Yeah I understand it from the perspective of how it is run in other countries i.e spain where Real Madrids reserves are called Castilla and Valencia’s are Valencia Mestalla for example. Therefore wouldn’t a good name be Wincham Park FC or Wincham Albion??

"[i]23 May 2008 - Constitution for 2008/09 decided
At the League’s Constitutional Meeting last night, the format of the 3 Divisions was voted and decided on for season 2008/09. Next season has seen a number of changes that affected the normal promotion and relegation issues.
In Division 1, Witton Albion Reserves have ceased membership of the League due to non-compliance with League Ground Vetting standards, and there was a reduction of 1 team due to the amalgamation of Crosfields and Rylands. The Clubs voted to relegate Poynton and promote Club AZ (2nd place) & Billinge (3rd place). FC United of Manchester Reserves have resigned from the League despite having won the Division 2 Championship. This will mean there are 16 teams in Division 1 next season
In Division 2, Club AZ & Billinge and have been promoted and FC United’s resignation left 14 clubs. Poynton join Division 2 from Division 1. Congleton Town Reserves as bottom club were seeking re-election to the League alongside 2 new applicant clubs, Denton Town & Moore United. The clubs voted for 17 teams in Division 2 and therefore Denton Town & Moore United join the Cheshire League and Congleton Town were re-elected.[/i]"
T’would appear that thanks to the non-efforts of whomever is responsib;e for the enclosed pitch at Moss Farm that maybe we do not need now to consider this topic.
I’m sure that this will come up this evening…
I have a programme of Witton Albion Reserves last game ever if anyone who collects wants it. No charge either !
Chad,
Does your post mean that as we have been kicked out of the league, that we do not have any reserve team next season, whatever thet were going to be called, or are they going to continue, but just play friendlies?
Also, what happens to the players that represented us last season in the reserves? Some of them did appear in the 1st team.
Can we still class them as our players?
I am thinking of the likes of Tom Rutter (amongst others), who may now be needed in the 1st team, considering the numbers who have left, or about to leave.
