Reminded of this Joe Cole worldie via iPlayer's classic World Cup rolling channel 👌 🚀 https://t.co/PbyE81iwBh

@LinnetsTVJack Couldn't agree more, worries me how quickly it's become so widespread.

Statement now updated with the 19 team confirmation removed, much work and discussion ahead of the NWCFL's AGM on June 20.

[Steven Oldham @spoldham]

Confirmation that the @nwcfl Premier will run as a 19 team division next season. Not great.

[Steven Oldham @spoldham]

An AI email the icing on that horrible cake, and for a team that missed out on the title and promotion by a point.

Releases will always happen, but there's ways and means to do it.

Damning. Cold. Horrendous.

@adwilliams68 @nwcfl Hard to see a solution that pleases everyone Dave, but let's wait and see.

@Tkaijones4 If only it were that simple. 😂

@runnerglynrtfc @nwcfl @RuncornTown Yep not forgotten them Glyn! Or Stockport Georgians for that matter. Was focusing on the three teams that have gone over the summer there. Runcorn very unlucky given this news not to be in more familiar surroundings this coming season.

A third club from last season's @nwcfl Premier withdraws from the League entirely. A punishing off-season for the competition, now reduced to 19 teams at the minute following Manchester sides being moved into the Midlands League.

@LeeDainty2 @nwcfl There's always debate around league allocations Lee, but think we can all agree a 19 team Premier won't and shouldn't be allowed to happen.

Less travelling yes, but also less gate receipts. Also no Bury-Macclesfield type fallen giant to rely on for a huge gate either this year.

[Steven Oldham @spoldham]

@adwilliams68 @nwcfl Cheers Dave. I remember now the discourse around Stockport going up when Kendal were moved out the Counties.

[Steven Oldham @spoldham]

@MatthewJudson7 @UKChartStats Of course not, but it should be even higher - one of the most chart ready winners over the past couple of decades.

@kingjordofcots @UKChartStats I'm happy for her, don't get me wrong. Just noticing Eurovision really hasn't captured the general population's interest this year, for a variety of reasons.

[Steven Oldham @spoldham]

I'm County through and through, always have and always will be, but I am a tad uneasy with what's going on this summer with the club throwing their weight about as such.
It's only 3 months since SSV was named as the long-term home of the women's team, as well as Stockport Town...

Opera fatigue is a real thing, and I have it. #Eurovision

@jonwillchambers He's shown more personality in his 30 seconds as spokesman over the years, than these 2 have all week.

Bloody hell Delta Goodrem, you are ridiculous 👏 #Eurovision
