Thought we were going to win. And it would have been exactly what those Wolves fans deserved.
Plod should have conviscated their DM's and made them walk all the way home to Wolverhampton too !Thought we were going to win. And it would have been exactly what those Wolves fans deserved.
Did you fly up with Ian Huxham & Dr Dave,CB for that game ?On our first Conference visit to Northwich, one of our then directors was staggered to find their Director's Box was "Men Only" ! With attitudes like that steming from the top of the Club, little wonder they were struggling to survive.
No I wasn't at that match, and am not sure how my mate got there either. Have never flown to an away game, leastways yet !Did you fly up with Ian Huxham & Dr Dave,CB for that game ?
I seem to recall a handful of fans went via Manchester airport to Northwich.
I think Hiley scored a screamer in the first game and I can't think of that day without remembering our amazing fans and the bucket collection outside the away end at the finish.After mentioning Northwich Victoria in another thread,it got me thinking of visits to Northwich during the Grecians time in the Conference.
The 1st visit was in March 2004 at Mincham Park the home of Whitton Albion who Northwich ground shared with.1-1 infront of a crowd of 547 which beat the previous low attendance for a Grecian fixture(At Workington 693 in Dec 1973)That was then beaten the next season with 451 at Hylton Park,Leigh.
The Grecians last visit to Northwich in Oct 2007 was in doubt because the home club were about to go ‘bust’ despite moving into a spanking new stadium only 2 years before(They survived for a few more years at the ground,that has now been flattened)View attachment 2574View attachment 2575
There was no programme issued because of the uncertainty,just a team sheet issued to keep collectors like me happy on the day.
That was the next game there in Sept 2004..I think Hiley scored a screamer in the first game and I can't think of that day without remembering our amazing fans and the bucket collection outside the away end at the finish.
