Northwich Victoria would like to place on record how deeply disappointed we are in the decision made by the Football Association and our movement into the Midland Football League
Northwich Victoria are a North West Club and our 149 year history has now been put in jeopardy as the financial implications and player availability of the current squad will mean we may not be able to continue as a football club.
We are also bitterly disappointed that there has been no correspondence or dialogue with the FA on the impact that this will have on community clubs across the country, and therefore echo the views of our neighbours at Winsford United that this is totally unacceptable.
As a Community Club, we have over 20 Junior teams and over 400 children playing under the banner of Northwich Victoria , and this has an immediate effect as a community accredited football club as created by the Football Association.
We intend to appeal vigorously on the decision made, as it would be almost impossible to continue as a Club and stay solvent due to the additional financial costs that will be incurred.
