LEAGUE bosses will meet Vics owner Jim Rushe tomorrow, Wednesday, to find out his plans for the now homeless club.

Thor Specialities (UK) Ltd confirmed earlier on Tuesday that it has the keys to the Victoria Stadium after completing a deal to buy the nine-acres site.

“The situation at Northwich seems to change as every day passes,” said a source at the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League.

“To that end, we must agree on the way forward for the team to fulfil its fixtures for the remainder of the season, not only in the interest of the club but also the competition.”

Vics are due to host an FA Trophy third round tie this weekend, but East Thurrock United or Hampton & Richmond Borough will not be travelling to Wincham.

Owner Jim Rushe has not announced where that match might take place.

Rushall expect to play Northwich next Tuesday in the Doodson Sport Cup quarter finals.
