Hmm yes, I never quite fathomed what Motors were doing in that league or how they managed to stay there, at least 200 were Shaymen that night, while the Brandon game was the one where Double Denim Dennis and his mob arrived with 10 minutes to go and missed 5 of the goals. Their coach had burst a tyre half way to the game and they had to wait for a relief coach to catch them up and complete their journey. Pictures posted of the coach's other tyres showed they were as bald as a budgie's egg, even though the driver claimed they were fitted as new 2 weeks earlier. #DeathTrap.
Vauxhall Motors, although they played next to the Vauxhall Motors Social Club, actually got no support from the car company. The people of Ellesmere Port never really got behind them and the ground was in an awkward place to get to. They rarely averaged crowds of more than 200. Just before they demoted themselves back to the West Cheshire League their chairman, Mr Bartram said we need 300 crowds to continue. They never got it. I spent a season supporting them when mad yank Terry Smith, who was probably the worst football club owner ever and because of boycotting were getting crowds of under 400. Shame about VM because they were what football is all about and their high point was knocking QPR out of the FA Cup about 10 years ago. They may return?
