It’s been fun doing this over the last 10 weeks. Hopefully it’s kept people in touch with the club during lockdown. even if we didn’t find out who broke @LeeJackson03 mug!.
Last in the series. and we got our football secretary involved. Link below for the final episode in our YouTube series ‘1874 at Home’, this time featuring Vicki England. ➡️ A big thank you to Vicki for her time and that controversial 5-a-side team.

What a result! Great day for me personally finished off by a table topping performance, let’s keep it going💚. #WeAre74.
Full-time: Four goals and a dominant performance this afternoon to cap off a terrific week for the football club. First-half finishes from Jake, Taylor and two from Harry win us the three points. A clean sheet for the defence & Big T, including a brilliant penalty save. (4-0)

@mattyt339 @KyRiley9 That was my main goal, and that goes for everyone I interview. I felt it was important for Kyle to lead the conversation in some ways and let him talk about things on his terms. That way it allows him to develop his answers and helps us all understand what he’s been through!.

@ColinBlackbur13 Instead of criticising 1874 for having our own column, how about you write your own column on Vics? If not, you can’t complain if the 1874 Northwich Guardian have nothing to publish about your club🤷🏻♂️
