Trickies, rather than Trickers. Tricky the Cat is our mascot and put in a creditable performance at the Mascot Grand National last year. Probably a cat because of us being in Cheshire - Lewis Carroll was up the road in Warrington. Enough of this erudite stuff ...
[cite]Posted By: dorsetgreen[/cite]What's your longest ever thread on here? Must be some points up for grabs there ...
Don't worry Dorset, my love, you have a long way to go before you beat the Takeover thread. However this one is a million times better.
I just clicked on the W****n website because frankly I thought it was in Essex, so I thought you calling them your local rivals was stretching it a bit, and I noticed they are playing a team called Halloween Party this Saturday - what league are they in?
I didn't see an answer about whether either club had a PE teacher or not? Made me think of the teacher who played for the Faroes who banged in two (I think?) against the Scots when they drew a few years ago...
Having made reference to the rulebook, the score is Northwich 7 Witton 11 ... however, Northwich have gained an extra 5 points due to the great Pie and Pints Match
I refuse to acknowledge any of their points, based on the fact that they play in a kit very similar to the bheggars of Glasgow, thats my caveat, and I'm sticking to it.
Northwich 0 Witton 11
Sorry trickies, nothing personal, I'm sure you all very nice people really?

harsh, I thought you'd have more empathy for a club in severe financial straights : - )

Harsh, but fair I thought, all will be fine when the "other" takeover goes through.
I believe I mentioned my Rothmans Year Book earlier, but according to this tome of knowledge Northwich are officially known as 'The Vics' and Witton, 'The Albion'. In the Witton team photo one player is named as Micky Quinn, could it be himself?

Not sure on the current squad, though Jonny Allan always said if he wasn't a footballer, he'd be a farmer. We did have a 2nd choice goalkeeper 2 years ago who ran a dinky donuts hut which used to be there on matchdays and when injured or not selected could be seen in there sometimes.
I want to see a picture of Tricky the cat mascot - I didn't think that they are the kinds of creatures to be predisposed to wandering around the pitch being shouted at. Tricky could be a mega-mascot made of stern stuff if he does....
Would have been more impressed if it was an actual cat (training it would be challenging, I admit). But a green and yellow cat is still quite an achievement. I hope to see it in the flesh/synthetic fur when I come to Northwich!
A few of you who have been following Charlton since Eddie Firmani was manager ....... might remember Lucky the cat.
The black cat strolled across The Valley pitch just after the final whistle blew to end the first match of the season game with Millwall (too embarrassed to mention the score despite Keithy Peacock's 2nd minute goal) .......and the Charlton players saw that as a lucky omen and subsequently went on a long run without defeat.
Lucky finally met an unholy end mysteriously strung up and dangling from a floodlight pylon immediately after the final match of the season. Ray Crawford missed a penalty as we lost at home to Preston, and missing promotion by finishing 3rd. And to rub salt into the wound, Palarse won 3-0 and got promoted instead.
Brian Clough's Derby County were runaway champions. The season 1968/69.
PS: I made up the bit about Lucky's unlucky demise. The rest is true.
During the 1-0 win over Derby County at The Valley on 24th September 1983 'Lucky' the black cat, that had lived at The Valley for the last 15 years, made a last appearance along the touchline, having to be put down a few days later due to old age. An obituary appeared in the next Charlton programme.

You're lucky it wasn't Roger De Courcey and Nookie Bear - that would have been -50 points!

Northwich 0 Witton 11

I've still got around 2,000 unopened posts on the Takeover thread.

Apols for the long linky thing. Hopefully it will work.
The first photo it links to was taken at the Mascot Grand National last year. Never fails to make me chuckle that picture!
spot and a half that is!
