Northern Premier League Division One North is level 8 in the pyramid, not level 7. Please amend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.104.44.91 ( talk) 15:52, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

The list of former leagues mentions both the Cheshire League and the Cheshire County League. However, both of these link to the article on the Cheshire County League, of which the club were founder members in 1919. The reference to the Cheshire League should be deleted.
Why does someone keep changing the capacity to 1,500? The official capacity for the playoff final against Telford was 2,300, but anecdotal evidence supports the fact that there were closer to 3,000 in the ground that day. Add to that the fact that the same ground, back in 1990 and 1991, held in the region of 4,000 for matches against Bolton Wanderers (FAC1) and Kidderminster Harriers (FATSF2).

Maybe, if there is a reference to the capacity, people will stop change it. Without a reference, some people may think that was a guess and they also find the right to guess it. I found one reference about it. According to BBC article its capacity is 6,000. -- ClaudioMB 14:19, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I concur with what's already been said - the latest news on the capacity, was that Cheshire Trading Standards, on 4th May 2007, confirmed that the capacity for the Witton/Telford Unibond Play Off Final was 2,300. Sure, the ground holds more, but that's not its rated capacity. Why that moron keeps putting 1,500, who knows? 2,281 that were there on 5th May 2007 (the most recent Senior competitive match to be held there) know that the capacity's greater than 1,500... Also, where the BBC got 6,000 from I do not know - the stadium has never been capable of holding that many. I was there at the FA Trophy Semi-Final 2nd Leg against Kidderminster Harriers in 1992, according to here: http://www.kidderminsterharriers.com/harriers/hth.php?team=267 the attendance that day was 3,800, and it was packed. The Telford website also has confirmation of 5th May's attendance at 2,281: http://www.telfordutd.co.uk/match_detail.asp?id=48696745

"That moron" (ie. me) keeps putting 1,500 as a best estimate. I know that 2,281 attended Witton v Telford (I was there). My understanding is that the capacity was increased for the occasion with special measures having to be put in place to achieve that (ie. car parking for Telford fans at the Victoria Stadium, and loads of police and police traffic cones everywhere). The capacity, surely, is that for week-in week-out matches without any such measures being needed. I don't know what the stadium's safety certificate says or how to find out what it says. I will leave the capacity alone for now. The 6,000 figure is certainly fiction; as Cheshire Cheese says the stadium is not capable of holding that many. 86.140.90.237 22:41, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
I would hazard a guess that the 4,000+ figure currently quoted is the maximum theoretical capacity of the ground in its current state. The trading-standards set capacity of 2,300 has been so all of the 2006-07 season. On an average day, there are not enough stewards and car parking in place to handle 2,300, but the safety certificate extends to 2,300 under the proviso that additional stewards are brought in when a bigger crowd is expected. As it stands though, 2,300 is the current maximum, regardless of how many stewards there are - the club would have to pay more to get a safety certificate for a larger crowd. As for the police presence at the 2 Telford games, this was little to do with the size of the crowd, more the reputation of the Telford fans, and the importance of the games - albeit a minority, the Telford fans still had a reputation for causing trouble - in the worst cases pitch invaders assaulting opposing players and match officials...

Paragraph 3 says "There is a fierce local rivally between Albion and the other Northwich team, Northwich Victoria."
It should be rivalry, not rivally.
