Northwich Victoria Football Club (often simply known as Northwich, or by their nickname Vics or The Vics) are an English football club who play at the Victoria Stadium in Wincham, Northwich, Cheshire in the Northern Premier League Premier Division,[3] the seventh tier of the English football league system.

Northwich are an old club, founded in 1874 and named in honour of the reigning monarch at the time Queen Victoria,[4] and are one of the top 100 oldest football clubs in the world still in existence. Northwich have a long history, founding several leagues including the Football League Second Division. The club's history was recorded in the book 'A Team for All Seasons', written by the club's late President, Ken Edwards.[5] The club's name is unique in that it is the only remaining British team with a reigning monarch or queen regnant in its name.

They played at the same Drill Field ground for over 125 years, which at the time was believed to be the oldest ground in the world on which football had been continuously played,[6] however after a ground sharing period with their local rivals, Witton Albion,[7] they started the 200506 season in their new stadium, the Victoria Stadium in Wincham, just outside Northwich and across the Trent & Mersey Canal, which separates them from their rivals.

Early history

Billy Meredith, shown above in Manchester United colours, played for Northwich during their early Football League years.

The generally accepted year for Northwich Victoria's foundation is 1874 by Messrs Charles James Hughes and James Heyworth. However according to club historian Ken Edwards' book 'A Team for All Seasons', the Northwich Victoria Association Football Club organisation could have been in existence from at least 1870.[8] Northwich played their first challenge matches in the 1874 seasons and originally accepted both association football and rugby rules, shown in 1876 when they contested an away match under Rugby rules at Farnworth and Appleton F.C. (now known as Widnes Vikings) and then at home under association rules, winning both games.[9] The first time the club entered an organised competition was in 1877, when they entered the Welsh Cup, which at the time was open to Welsh teams as well as English teams situated close to the border.[10] Their best achievement in the competition was in the 188182 and 188889 seasons, when they reached the final, losing to Druids and Bangor respectively.[10] When they reached the final in 1882, they were the first English club to do so.[11]

The following season, the club became a founding member of the second incarnation of The Combination, Northwich's first league. In their second season in the league they finished runners-up.[12]

A great leap forward was taken in 1892, when Northwich became one of the founding members of the English Second Division, which saw the team turn professional. In the league's inaugural season, Northwich finished 7th, the highest finish in the club's history.[12] It was during this season that the penalty kick was introduced into the Football League; the first ever in League football being scored by Tommy Scanlan of Northwich Victoria against Grimsby.[13][14] During this season, Northwich acquired the services of Billy Meredith, the Welsh International who is widely regarded as the first football superstar.[13] Northwich played in the Football League for one more season, during which they defeated Newcastle United 53 at the Drill Field and held Woolwich Arsenal (now known as Arsenal F.C.) to a 22 draw.[15] As a result of their final position at the bottom of the league, the club's board decided not to apply for re-election to the Football League. The financial burden of professional football had taken its toll on the club, who decided to return to strictly amateur, regional football in their previous league, The Combination, where they had a mixture of mid-table and top-half finishes.

In 1898, the club left the Combination to join the newly-formed Cheshire League, where they remained for two seasons,[16] finishing 8th in their first season, and runners-up in their next season in the First Division.

Up to the middle of this decade, Northwich played in red and black horizontal stripes. However a major change in the club's appearance occurred when they adopted the colours that they still wear today; green and white.[17]

Lured by the chance of increased revenues, the club joined the Manchester League in the 190001 season, when they finished runners-up. Silverware came only two seasons later in the 190203 season when they won the league, finishing 9 points clear of their nearest challengers Newton Heath Athletic.[18]

They departed the Manchester League in the 191213 season, becoming members of the second division of the Lancashire Combination (not to be confused with The Combination). Their first season saw them promoted to the First Division after finishing 4th.[12]

In 1919, the club became founding members of the Cheshire County League, which was more appropriate for the club's location in the county of Cheshire. Making hard work of achieving success, Northwich won the league only once in the 195657 season. They continued to play in the league until the 196768 season.[12]

Post-war

In 1968, Northwich were one of several members from the Cheshire County League to leave and become founder members of the newly created Northern Premier League. Generally finishing around mid-table or in the top half, it was the 197677 season when Northwich came closest to winning the league, narrowly missing out on the title on goal difference to Boston United on the final day of the season following a 11 draw with Scarborough.[12] In the same season Northwich had their best run in the FA Cup in modern times, reaching the Fourth Round (see FA Cup History).

In 1979, Northwich were founder members of yet another league, when the Alliance Premier League (later the Football Conference) was formed. In 198081, Northwich finished 4th, their highest position in the league. They were the last ever-present team when they were relegated in the 200405 season.[12]

The club reached the final of the FA Trophy in the 198283 season, but were beaten 21 by Telford United. However the club achieved silverware in the 198384 season when they defeated Bangor City 21 in the same competition, the FA Trophy in a replay of the final at the appropriately named Victoria Ground in Stoke-on-Trent. The first game, played at Wembley Stadium, was drawn 11.[12]

In the 199596 season, they reached the final of the FA Trophy once again, returning to Wembley for the first time since their draw and eventual victory in the competition a decade earlier. They were defeated 31 by Macclesfield Town.[12]

21st century

The new century saw Northwich face great financial difficulties and relegation, with the club nearly folding following administration in both the 200405 and 200910 seasons.

In the 200304 season, Northwich were slated for relegation to the Conference North division as part of the National League System restructuring, however circumstances including the bankruptcy of Telford United, Watnall Road, the ground of Hucknall Town's not being good enough and the demotion of Margate led to Northwich Victoria being allowed to remain at the Conference National level.[19]

In September of the 200405 season, the team went into administration, and thus were deducted 10 points under National League rules, which left them in relegation trouble. However, the team recovered and finished in 19th place, nine points clear of the relegation zone (had they not had a points deduction, they would have finished 14th). Unfortunately for Northwich, this turned out to be for nothing, as they were voluntarily demoted from the Conference National due to legal problems (after going into administration FA deadlines over the transfer of their Conference membership to the club's new owners were not met; the alternative would have been outright expulsion from the Conference, which would have forced them into starting again in one of the lower regional divisions).[20]

The 200506 season appeared to be a turn in the right direction for Northwich as they reached the Third Round of the FA Cup, and in the penultimate game of the season, beat their nearest rivals, Stafford Rangers, in front of more than 3,000 supporters to guarantee an immediate return to the Conference National and see them as champions of the Conference North.[21]

In October 2007 it was reported that the club was up for sale,[22] and the club's existence was again threatened due to an unpaid tax bill.[23] The club had applied to go into administration to stave off closure.[24] In December 2007, a consortium led by Jim Rushe completed a takeover, with Rushe becoming the Club's chairman.[25] The stadium is still owned by Connett's real estate company Beaconet Ltd. In January 2009 with Beaconet in receivership, Connett removed safety equipment from the stadium, causing the club to move temporarily to Altrincham's Moss Lane ground. Rushe's consortium are looking to purchase the stadium from Connett's company.[26][27]

On 19 May 2009 the club went into administration for the second time in five years following their relegation from the Conference National; they owed around £500,000 in unpaid bills to creditors.[28] They were threatened with a double relegation to the 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.

The 200910 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 League Premier Division.[29] For months following their FA Cup campaign in 2009, the club was still owed at least £180,000 of its FA Cup and TV broadcasting money by the FA, which would have allowed the club to settle their remaining debts.[30] The club received the money in December 2010, a welcome relief for the club due to the adverse weather conditions which had affected football fixtures during the Winter.[31]

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.[32] They remain unbeaten in the competition under the management of Andy Preece and have reached the final for the 201011 season for the second successive year.

Following the end of the 200910 season, most of the squad were placed on the transfer market in an effort to cut wage bills. 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.[33]

In February 2010, the club played Romanian Europa League side FC Unirea Urziceni in a friendly warm-up game, which Northwich lost 10.[34]

FA Cup history

During their long history, Northwich have had many FA Cup runs where they have reached the First Round proper and further. Their first, and best run, came in the 188384 season, where the side reached the Quarter Finals, defeating Druids, Davenham and Brentwood in the earlier rounds, however they ultimately suffered a heavy defeat to Blackburn Olympic in the Quarter Final.[12]

On 19 November 1892, Northwich defeated Liverpool F.C. 21 in the Third Qualifying Round in Liverpool's first season and are therefore the first team to eliminate them from the FA Cup.[35]

The 197677 season witnessed Northwich's finest hour in the FA Cup. After beating Rochdale (forcing them to two replays), they defeated Peterborough United. In the Third Round, they beat Elton John's Watford 32 in a pulsating match at the Drill Field. A home tie at Oldham Athletic for the 4th round was a dream tie, with the game being moved to Maine Road. Northwich lost the game 31 in front of a crowd of more than 29,000, their largest crowd ever.[12]

The club have reached the second round proper on several occasions; in 197980 (losing to Wigan Athletic in a replay), 198283 (Scunthorpe United), 198485 (Wigan Athletic), 198788 (Blackpool), 198889 (Tranmere Rovers).[12]

During the 200001 season, Northwich again reached the second round. Under the management of Keith Alexander, who had taken over a side who were struggling to remain in the Conference, Northwich held Football League side Bury 11 at Gigg Lane to secure a replay at the Drill Field. Northwich won the replay 10 and were drawn against Leyton Orient. After holding Orient to a 33 draw at Brisbane Road, Northwich ultimately lost the replay 23, missing out on a 3rd round tie with Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.[12]

In the 200506 season, under the management of Steve Burr, Northwich reached the FA Cup third round, and were drawn against Premier League side Sunderland. On 8 January 2006, Over 3,000 supporters travelled to the Stadium of Light, where Northwich were ultimately defeated 30.[36]

On 24 October 2009, under the management of Andy Preece, Northwich played FC United of Manchester in the FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round. Northwich won the game 30.[37] 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 10.[38] 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 31.[39]

Grounds

From their foundation in 1874, Northwich played at the Drill Field, located in the centre of Northwich. Due to the ground not meeting new safety regulations and standards, and to provide revenue for the club, the ground was demolished in 2002.[40]

In the three year gap between the demolition of the Drill Field and the construction of Victoria Stadium, Northwich played at Wincham Park, the home of their Northwich rivals Witton Albion, which is located across the canal from the Victoria Stadium.[41]

A new ground was built in Wincham, a few miles outside of the town in the middle of a business park. It was named the Victoria Stadium, and was opened in 2005, with its official opening in 2006 by Sir Alex Ferguson.[42]

Rivalries

Northwich have a fierce rivalry with Witton Albion, another Northwich team who play less than 500 yards from the Victoria Stadium.

Northwich also have a rivalry with Altrincham.[43] [44]

Nicknames

Northwich are known to their fans by several nicknames. The most common, Vics/The Vics, is a shortening of Victoria in the club's name. They are also known as 'The Trickies', after their mascot Tricky the Cheshire Cat; a Cheshire Cat being from the story Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Caroll, who was born in the nearby village of Daresbury. In old media, the club were also referred to as the Victorians (again owing to their name), and the 'Salt Boys/Men', due to Northwich's history as being a centre of the Salt trade in the United Kingdom.
