CHAIRMAO Notes from the little Purple book of COLFC Chairman, Paul Manning.
Welcome everybody again to the TDP Stadium for tonight’s visit of Northwich Victoria.
both organisations and the off-the-field support we enjoy. In a volunteer led organization, time is a very valuable commodity so the security of a further two years with Regenda Homes allows Peter Furmedge and I to get on with #ProjectL10 and growing the club generally, instead of having to run around constantly seeking out new funding streams. I have asked since the start of the season for everyone to stay focused upon “winning the next 3 points” and I thank the vast majority of supporters who see the massive amount of work that is put into the club on a daily basis to get us to the point of potentially being 12 points clear at the top of the league. Social media is a constant source of problems, with twitter in particular being a magnet for the supporters of other clubs to try and disrupt our timeline. As we have said previously, we simply will not allow abusive messages or even “banter” messages to be seen by our 11,000+ followers, posted by people with -100 followers. We have the League, the FA, Sponsors and key #ProjectL10 partners following us and we cannot allow our club to be portrayed in this manner. Our policy is to block accounts of this nature to protect the integrity of the timeline – Sorry if this spoils the fun of these banter merchants, but we are here to build our football club, not for the amusement of anonymous twitter accounts! Here’s hoping for a good game tonight and 3 points for the Purps!! #UTP
Earlier in the season we won 2-1 at Witton in a tense and tight affair against Victoria, with Joe Holt getting the all-important winning goal late on in the game. This was the second of two important wins from our opening two games, both of which were away to each of the Northwich clubs. It was a tough old start to the league campaign and both wins really sign posted what we could expect from the team under Craig Robinson’s management. The good start that Craig got us off to has been a very solid foundation for the season so far and one which we hope will see us through to a successful end of Season too, but we will only achieve that by taking it 1 game at a time. We recently had some very good publicity from the Liverpool Echo regarding our #ProjectL10 and it was informative to see different people’s responses to what can only be described as excellent coverage from our local daily newspaper. Yesterday, we were able to announce that we had renewed our partnership with Regenda Homes for another 2 years, which is excellent news for the club. Regenda have been superb with us from the moment they got involved with the club and whilst yes, the financial sponsorship is very welcome indeed, equally important is the shared aims and visions of

the first was disappointing to concede the first goal but credit to Squires Gate it was a well worked goal. The pleasing thing for me was the reaction after there second went in we didn’t let our heads go and we lifted the tempo, moved the ball really well and finally got the goal we deserved before the break. Second half we It’s a great achievement and I wish come out with a real purpose and them all the best for the rest of scored an early goal to equalise the competition. They are a good and from there, there was only side as we know from our first one team that was going to win encounter in are second game the game. I couldn’t be more of the season away, it was a tight prouder of the lads coming from game and not much in it with 2-0 down with us not deserving us scoring late and taking the 3 to be, the lads confidence is high points. I felt that was a moment so it’s great to have a Tuesday that kick started our season to go night game at home were there is on a run we did as the lads weren’t always a great atmosphere and we happy to settle for a draw and need to back our Saturdays result showed character to push on for up tonight! I hope you enjoy the the win, I’m expecting another game! tough game tonight and one we Robbo are ready for. Saturday was a great win for us especially with us going 2-0 down 7

northwich vics The Early Days Northwich Victoria were formed in 1874 and named in honour of the reigning monarch, Queen Victoria. The following year the club established themselves at the Drill Field, so named, as it was the former Drilling Ground of the 22nd Company of the 3rd battalion of the Cheshire Rifle Volunteers. Vics’ initially played only friendly matches but graduated to a loose association of clubs called the Combination. A giant step forward was taken in 1892 when Northwich became founder members of the 2nd division of the Football League. Two seasons were spent in the league but the financial burden of professionalism saw the club resigning league status at the end of the second year. During Vics’ final season in the league, they acquired the services of the legendary Billy Meredith, the peerless Welsh wizard of the wing. The club returned to the Combination until 1898 when it joined the newly formed Cheshire League where it stayed for two years. A spell in the Manchester league followed before the club became members of the Lancashire Combination in 1912/13. Organised football came to a halt at the outbreak of the Great War but when hostilities ceased, the Vics’ joined the newly formed Cheshire League. Although a top ranking club, the title was captured just once in a memorable 1956/57 campaign.
first league scalp for 17 years defeating Bury at the Drill Field in a first round replay, before turning a 2-0 deficit against Leyton Orient into a 3-2 lead before a late equaliser earned the Londoners a replay at Brisbane Road, a game which they in turn won 3-2 after extra time having trailed the Vics’ 2-0, a thrilling match screened live on Sky TV. When Alexander was offered the post of Director of Coaching at Lincoln City in the summer of 2001, he was replaced for two seasons at Northwich by former Northern Ireland international Jimmy Quinn. After Quinn departed for Shrewsbury Town, Vic’s unsuccessfully suffered three more managers before finishing bottom of the Conference in 2003/04, only to survive relegation on ground technicalities at other clubs. Following the sale of the famous Drill Field ground, Vics’ undertook ground sharing with neighbours Witton Albion which lasted a further 3 seasons. 2004-2009 In September 2004 the club went into administration and suffered a 10 point deduction. However, against all the odds current manager Steve Burr and his team produced some fantastic performances, eventually finishing outside the bottom three, culminating in the team being voted “NonLeague club of the year” by the Non-League paper. However due to a technicality in the club administration Vics suffered their first relegation since the foundation of the conference league & started the 2005/2006 season in the conference north. The club under the ownership of Mike Connett commenced the season at the newly built Victoria Stadium & their form matched their superb new facilities as they went fifteen games undefeated before emphasis shifted to a tremendous F.A Cup run. After victories against Frickley , North Ferriby, Barrow , Morecambe & Woking the run culminated in the Vics’ playing their first ever game against a premiership side, and a great day out against Sunderland at the Stadium Of Light in front of 19,323 fans & cheered on by over 3,500 Vics’ supporters, the team produced a battling display, finally loosing the game 3-0. After slipping to 3rd in the league during January & February the team embarked on a record breaking run of 15 consecutive victories & were eventually crowned champions after defeating closest rivals Stafford Rangers by a 3-1 scoreline on the penultimate Saturday of the season this time cheered on by a record 3,154 at the Victoria Stadium. Vics’ didn’t find it easy going back into the conference national and at times were too close to the bottom four for comfort. However, a superb run of fine victories at the end of March when they defeated the likes of Oxford United, Dagenham & Redbridge, Kidderminster, Crawley Town and Tamworth saw them finish in a comfortable 13th place position in the league. They also had a successful FA Trophy run witch saw them reach the semi finals stage before being
The Glory Years Vics’ again became founder members of a new league when they accepted an invitation from the Northern Premier League in 1968, remaining there until they signalled their ambition by joining the new Nationwide Alliance Premier League in 1979. Last season was the club’s 25th continuous season among the elite of non-league football. Before joining the national elite however, Vics’ name had been on the tips of the nation’s tongues following the remarkable FA Cup run in 1976/77. The team defeating three football league sides en route to the fourth round – Rochdale, Peterborough and Watford (the latter being watched by a crowd of 8,989 at the Drill Field including at that time their chairman Sir Elton John), before finally bowing out to Oldham Athletic in a game seen by nearly 30,000 at Maine Road. In 1982/83 the Club reached its finest hour when they won through to the final of the FA Trophy but lost 2-1 to Telford United at Wembley. The Vics’ faithful had only to wait twelve months before returning to the twin towers, where they drew 1-1 with Bangor City. To the delight of their fans the Greens won the replay 2-1 at Stoke’s aptly named Victoria Ground. After a short spell in the doldrums the 1990’s saw Vics’ begin to reassert themselves as a leading force in semi-professional football. Most notably, when defeating Martin O’Neill’s Wycombe Wanderers on their home turf in April 1993 to lift the Drinkwise Cup. In 1995/96 Vics’ continued their progress, recording a best finish of eighth in the league and another trip to Wembley in the FA Trophy, a fantastic achievement considering they were drawn away from home in each round. Alas, it was not a successful one as Cheshire rivals Macclesfield Town proved too strong on the day, winning 3-1. Five years on, Vics’ sampled further FA Cup glory under the management of Keith Alexander. The club claimed their

defeated 4-3 on aggregate to Kidderminster Harriers. At the end of a long hard season the club was rocked by the sudden resignation of manager Steve Burr and his move to Stalybridge Celtic. Neil Redfearn took over the managers job at the start of the 2007/2008 season. But his reign only lasted until mid October after only picking up one point from the first nine games of the season. Paul Warhurst stepped in for just two games before he too resigned. Dino Maamaria, one of the senior professionals at the club took over in a caretaker role until the position could be advertised, but he impressed the club officials & supporters so much that he was soon given the job on a full-time basis. It took until 24th November 2008 for Vics’ to register their first league win of the campaign against Rushden & Diamonds. The second half of the season saw a massive improvement in results and against all odds they secured safety from relegation with a tremendous 2-1 victory at Stevenage Borough in the penultimate game of the season. Under the new ownership of Jim Rushe with the backing of the main sponsors Encia the club look forward to a bright future.
Mutch resigned and was replaced by the then Kendal Town manager Lee Ashcroft with former Wigan Athletic legend Ian Kilford appointed as his right hand man. Lee guided the trickies to a very respectable 8th placed-finish, narrowly missing out on a play-off place taking the season right to the end groundsharing with Stafford Rangers. 2013/2014 and 2014/15 saw Vics’ switch leagues to the Northern section of the Northern Premier League First Division, hosting games at Valley Road in Flixton. The 2014/15 season saw Vics’ finish in fourth spot in the Evo-Stik NPL Division One North table, losing 2-1 away to Bamber Bridge in the promotion play-off semi-final after extra time. A 16th Mid-Cheshire Senior Challenge Cup title was added to the honours list, defeating Witton Albion 4-0 in the final at the Help For Heroes Stadium in Northwich. The Club narrowly missed out on a 20th Cheshire F.A Senior Cup title, losing to Vanarama Conference Premier giants - and old foes Macclesfield Town by the odd goal in three; by 3-2. Vics’ had hauled themselves back into the game to draw level at 2-2; from a parlous position at 0-2 down early in the piece. 2015 – 2017 Season 2015/16 saw the Vics’ back in their home town of Northwich, having agreed a three-year groundshare with EvoStik Premier Division One North neighbours Witton Albion F.C. Despite the departure of manager Jim Gannon to his beloved Stockport County, a third place finish was achieved in the Evo-Stik NPL DivIsion One North League campaign and the season ended with a heartbreaking promotion play-off final defeat 2-0 away to Spennymoor Town. The second round of the F.A Cup was incredibly reached and was cruelly (and most observers said undeservedly) ended at eventual runaway league two title winners, Northampton Town by 3-2 after establishing a 2-0 lead just past the hour mark. The run to the second round took in notable victories against higher-league opposition; away at National League Club, Boreham Wood in the first round and National League North Club, Chorley F.C, again away from home in the fourth qualifying round. The 2016/17 season was a tough one for the Club and supporters of the Green and Whites. With off-field developments overshadowing the hard work of players and management, the new-look team struggled at the lower end of the table for much of the season. The resignation of manager Adam Lakeland was followed swiftly by the departure of his assistant and caretaker boss Dave Wild, and new manager Paul Moore certainly had his work cut out from the start. Sadly, the writing was on the wall for Vics and despite some last-gasp heroics and potential lifelines at the end of the season, the announcement came that the Club was to enter administration yet again (along with the inevitable 10-point deduction) and relegation to Step 5 was confirmed.
2009 - 2015 On 19 May 2009 the club went into administration for the second time in five years following their relegation from the Conference National; they were threatened with a double relegation to the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League as a result of this, but ultimately won an appeal to be placed into the Conference North for the 2009-10 season. On 24 October 2009, under the management of Andy Preece and Andy Morrison - Northwich played FC United of Manchester in the FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round. Northwich won the game 3–0. In the First Round proper, Northwich were drawn against former Premier League side Charlton Athletic, which was televised live on ITV1, providing much needed revenue for the club. Northwich won the game 1–0. Northwich were then drawn against Lincoln City, a match which was again televised on ITV1. The game was played on 28 November, with Lincoln winning the game 3–1. The 2009–10 season saw Northwich achieve a mid-table finish, but due to the ongoing financial problems, the club were expelled from the league and placed in the Northern Premier Division. During the season, Northwich won the Cheshire Senior Cup for the first time in 15 years, beating Woodley Sports on penalties. This was their first piece of silverware since they won the Conference North in 2006. They remain unbeaten in the competition under the management of Andy Preece and have reached the final for the 2010–11 season for the second successive year. By the start of the new season, only 3 players from the previous season remained in the squad. The reserve feeder team, Woodley F.C, became Northwich Villa - who play in Division One of the Cheshire Football League. Many of the squad for that season came through the new structure into the first teams squad. The 2011 / 2012 campaign saw the team relegated from the Evo - Stik Premier League, even though the team finished 2nd. The season saw Andy Preece leave for Airbus UK, and two other managers in the hotseat namely Paul Simpson and Martin Foyle. Andy Mutch and Alan Wright took the helm for the following campaign which the team will contest in the Evo Stik Division One South. After an up and down beginning to the season
2017 onwards June 2017 brought probably one of the most important developments in the history of this grand old institution, as an agreement was reached for the Northwich Victoria Supporters Association to take full control of the Club. This, coupled with a ground-share agreement with Barnton FC, ensured that the Club would remain in Northwich and gave fans a new sense of optimism. The Supporters Association have assisted Barnton with improvements to their Townfield Lane ground, and the future definitely looks promising for the Trickies!

captains notes Another big game today and they keep coming thick and fast with a trip to Squires gate on Saturday which will be another tough test as we seen on Saturday.
up for it today and will be full of confidence. Every game we have left now we have to treat it as a cup final, as every team who play will want to knock us of the top and beat us. Luckily the results went our way on Saturday and it’s great when you come into the changing room after a win and the chasing pack have slipped up. We know what we have to do as a group and that’s just keep winning, if we do that then no one can catch us but it won’t be easy as we have seen this season but I fully believe we have the squad to do it. Thanks for the support and let’s hope we can get another win tonight.
It’s always hard to watch games from the side as I always want to be on the pitch helping the lads out, but with a one game suspension on Saturday I had to watch but luckily the lads gave me a good game to watch. First half we were sloppy and weren’t really at it but at half time Robbo got into the lads and made sure that they were at it second half and to be fair to them they come out and turned it around and showed great character to get the three points. Tonight we face Northwich Victoria who are always a good team, and they had a great win in the vase on Saturday so they will be bang

With the ongoing success of our football for everyone project and our brand-new walking football initiative we are starting to put the wheels in motion for our next scheme, Kits4Kids, a scheme which aims to provide children in the local area with the equipment and kit needed to participate in football. Families are struggling to put food on the table and keep a roof over their head never mind forking out £40/£50 for a pair of boots every year plus shin pads, kit etc, if you have more than one child you’re suddenly looking at spending a few hundred pounds, and that’s before any subs need paying. An analysis by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) reveals cuts to benefits and tax credits under the Tory government will see children hardest hit, forecasting that around one and a half million more under-18s will live in households below the relative poverty line by 2022. The research, which analyses the
impact of welfare reforms between 2010 and 2018, shows households with lone parents and children are set to lose an average of £5,250 – almost one-fifth of their total net income, compared to a loss of £3,000 for couples with children. This will see the child poverty rate for those in lone parent households increase from 37 per cent to over 62 per cent. These children are of great risk of being isolated and abandoned socially. The life skills learned through football help empower individuals and enhance mental wellbeing, such as increased resiliency, self-esteem and connections with others. These features of football are beneficial to people of all ages, but they are especially vital to the healthy development of young people. We must do more to increase engagement and encourage young people into football, not stand by while they are priced out of the game through no fault of their own. This is where the fantastic City of Liverpool FC Supporters come in! If there are any old kits, boots or shin pads that your son/ daughter has grown out of then please do not hesitate to contact us and we can arrange a collection or drop them off at one of the home games where one of our Community team will collect them from you.
