Why Witton Albion

Witton Albion are not a spare club. They are England FA Trophy, Wincham Park, Wincham, Northwich, and 139 years of people deciding this was theirs, pick them and the season has a second spine.

You get a nickname
Known as Albion, The Albs. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
Manchester Airport (MAN) is about 16km from the ground, and Northwich railway station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
England FA Trophy is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. England does not do easy neutrals.
Deep roots
Founded in 1887, Witton Albion were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 139 years of accumulated grudges.
