Fair enough I think the club should be paid atleast what it cost them to stay but are fans do have a we been hard done to stance about anything.

I agree .. it should be 50 50 to each club or at least 70 30 to offset any lower attendance at the home ground

We were all quick to complain when we were denied television coverage in the first round, funny how the toast has fallen butter side down now.

There has to be an away team in the equation at the end of the day, its a shame its us but the whole thing they're trying to do on Sundays is daft anyway.

EDIT: Denied the Sunday television coverage, that is.

I think it's fantastic we are on tv I do think only getting a grand if that is the case is not enough

25th January 1969

Northern Premier League

ALTRINCHAM…8   NORTHWICH VICS…1

Freddie Pye had signed Don Weston from Chester City just 20 minutes prior to the kick-off and the ex-Leeds United striker proceeded to have an astonishing debut in front of 2,430 spectators. Amazingly, the Robins were 3-0 up after only four minutes. Weston scored with his first touch in the opening minute, flicking home a header from an Ian Morris cross, and then two goals from the right winger (who was on loan from Stockport County) duly followed. Weston added his second goal after 36 minutes but John Leigh replied for Vics three minutes later. Swindells netted via the penalty spot in the 64th minute and Alty’s midfield inspiration Mick Metcalf made it 6-1 after 79 minutes. Morris scored his third goal a minute later and then, with two minutes remaining, Weston stabbed the ball home to complete his hat-trick after being set up by Halliwell. This was Vics’ biggest defeat since Wrexham thrashed them by the same scoreline in 1960 and their manager Noel Kelly resigned in the aftermath of this ignominious drubbing. Weston played 16 games for Alty, scoring nine goals, before joining Bethesda.

The PA wasn't working, and it was half time before I found out who the miracle signing was. Alas, he never reached such heights again.
