Northwich successful with appeal

Northwich Victoria

Northwich Victoria will play in the Blue Square North next season after winning their appeal at a Football Association hearing.

Owner Jim Rushe appealed against the Football Conference's decision to kick them out because of financial problems.

Although the club's short-term future has been assured, Northwich will start next season with a 10-point deduction.

The Vics went into administration in May, owing around £500,000 in unpaid bills and to creditors.

Northwich were relegated from Blue Square Premier League last season after finishing third from bottom in the table.
