NORTHWICH Victoria have launched their official website.

Club chairman Mike Connett has teamed up with Northwich-based business Designed4Hits for the venture.

Managing director Tom Smith said: "I have known Mike for quite some time and he wanted me to get involved with helping set up an official site.

"We're delighted to give something back to the town."

Live since last week, Vics also hope to use the site to promote the club's initiatives around the town.

"We want it to be a kind of one-stop shop really," said Ian Davies, part of the Vics marketing team.

"It's all part of a wider move to make the club more professional in our outlook and approach."

Trickies' followers will also be able to buy shirts and merchandise online.

When the Guardian paid a visit last week, they found a follower of Vics' rivals admiring the Victoria Stadium.

Paul Aldridge, Designed4Hits marketing manager, admitted he was an Altrincham fan.

"I can't wait for us to come and play at this great ground," he said.

"Having a derby in the season ahead is great for both sets of supporters."

Fans can now find out the latest news from their club as it happens from two sources.
