Farnywhite Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 There must be a cut of point for applications to any league the way they are going about can’t see them having any team in any league next season to much in fighting and different factions think they are fucked for a few years to much shit to sort out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted February 7, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2020 Im sure the correct answer is Bury? Fuck bury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnywhite Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 An application may be but do they have anything behind it such as ground to play in would be a start , money etc not really followed it but seems a lot of work to get anywhere near a football club with 6 months to go to next season and a cut of point that must be well before that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted February 21, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Here's your problem with starting a new club, there's existing clubs that also want to move up the pyramid, are you going to say no to South Liverpool who are top of the Cheshire League? Crew FC look well set at well. The clubs who have applied (to North West Counties) from Step 7 are: Allscott (West Midlands Region League) Ashville (West Cheshire League) Crewe (Cheshire League) Egerton (Cheshire League) Foley Meir (Staffordshire County Senior League) Ilkley Town (West Yorkshire League) South Liverpool (West Cheshire League) Stockport Georgians (Manchester League) Wellington Amateurs (West Midlands Regional League) Plus two new clubs: Bury AFC FC Isle of Man Edited February 21, 2020 by Carlos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the league going to refuse entry to a team who will bring several hundred supporters to every away fixture, giving the other clubs a much needed shot in the arm? Isle of Man would be an interesting away trip! Just getting there could blow Daisy Hill's budget for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of the deal of entering the league is that they fund the away travel of each team, as is the case with Guernsey in one of the leagues down south. Not sure how often flights are cancelled because of the weather, but that could certainly make things interesting (you'd have to assume that they don't expect teams to travel by ferry).

I did read something about that. I imagine the NWC officials will have stipulated them paying for 'flights' rather than 'travel'. Imagine trying to play footy a couple of hours after a rough ferry crossing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t deny teams a promotion for no good reason. My understanding was new teams are back of the queue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we won our last game at Gigg Lane. They didn't even have that long period unbeaten at home in the league against us to take in to perpetuity in the end.

Ghana White Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Guernsey have an airport counted as their home ground for travel and thr away club have to arrange getting their team there then Guernsey pay for flights etc. Would guess isle of man will do the same. Bury might be lucky with few more places up for grabs this season then usual. A lot of applicants though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted March 26, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 26, 2020 With football from step 3 to 6 being voided, I don't think the NWCFL will be taking new teams in next season, with there being no promotion. Not sure where this leaves AFC Bury. Manchester League maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
