Premier League managers have publicly complained about fixture congestion during the winter break in recent years.

In reality though, a few games in the space of a two week period is NOTHING compared to 1874 Northwich's manic fixture list in the coming months.

Due to 23 postponements this season, the North West Counties League Premier Division side will have a

fixture to play on the next six Mondays, the next six Wednesdays. the next six Thursdays and the next six Saturdays.That's a ridiculous four games a week for six weeks.

If you want that in number form, it is: 26/3, 28/3, 29/3, 31/3, 2/4, 4/4, 5/4, 7/4. 9/4, 12/4, 14/4, 16/4, 18/4, 19/4, 21/4, 23/4, 24/4, 26/4, 28/4, 30/4, 2/5, 3/5, 5/5.

The fact that the non-league side are still in three cup competitions could pile even more fixtures on to the already congested list.

"We have 27 games in eight weeks and we're still in three cups so it could be 32 games," fan Mark Riding said via the BBC.

"The FA won't let teams at our level schedule games past the end of the season, it just won't happen. Two years ago Bacup had to play two games in one day to get them all done."


1874 Northwich will be hoping to break more records in the coming weeks, but there might be a few tight hamstrings come the end of the season.

Good luck, lads. You're going to need it!
