Local teams in the FA Cup 4th Qualifying round 19/10 (page 5)

1874 see themselves as the people’s community club all 3 still seem to attract the same 1000 - 1500 fans between them 1874 were looking to go into the FA centre of excellence when it was being built in Northwich whether they still will now it’s going to Winsford I don’t know whether the fans will stand that.
1000-1500 supporters? They wish..
Vics got 247 on Saturday. The ‘Northwich Derby’ in January attracted 417.

I recall the Conference league in the early 90s when 6 clubs from Cheshire were in it.
Vics, Witton, Stalybridge, Macclesfield, Runcorn and Altrincham. Lots of derbies and decent gates throughout the season.
 
I saw City play at Central Park v Witton in a testimonial in the late 80's or early 90's.
Went to Vics quite a few times as a bloke I worked with was from the town and at the time lived in Sale where I did too. If City weren't playing i would go with him on the train to Northwich. Great pies at The Drill Field!
One game I went to was Kettering away first game of the season in the days when 20 fans went on the team bus to subsidise travel costs. Gordon Hill was playing for Vics then.

If I remember correctly it was for an ex Witton player called Derek Parker or Parkin. I took a City programme showing pics for the 10-1 and got most of that team to sign their pics of the goals.

The last game Witton played at Central Park was the same day Gleghorn went in goal for City, think it was against Palace.

Cheshire fans are a discgrace, hardly any watch a team from their own county these days. All too good for that.

Also Ashton it'd at home to Pontefract if Ashton win their replay tonight.

Aren't City of Liverpool the dips breakaway club? Could be interesting if both them and FCUM both get through.
