ANGER, sadness and resignation were just some of the emotions expressed by Worcester City fans after it emerged the club could fold if season ticket sales do not meet expectations.

As your Worcester News exclusively revealed on Monday, directors at the football club are considering “bringing the curtain down on the club” if sales do not climb to somewhere near the 1,500 hoped for.

The news came a week after the club played its final game at St George’s Lane, bringing an end to 108 years of football at the ground.

And on the Worcester News Facebook page, the fresh news was greeted with mixed emotions.

Ian Waggott wrote: “In my opinion, City should’ve had their own ground to move into.

“Selling their ground when they didn’t have one to move into is, in my opinion, ridiculous.”

Darryl Lymer said the situation at Worcester mirrored that of his own club, Bromsgrove Rovers, who went into administration in 2010.

“This has been coming for many a year,” he wrote.

“My team, Bromsgrove, went a few years ago. Non-league teams are dying on their feet and until the money from the top leagues starts filtering down properly, more will go.”

And Stephen Burton, also writing at facebook.com/theworcesternews, said he had fears for the club even if it survived the current financial crisis.

He said: “If 600 to 800 people turn up regularly to home games in Worcester, how on earth do they think they’re going to get 1,500 fans going to Kidderminster?”

Meanwhile, Julie Jones said she couldn’t afford the season ticket.

“It’s so sad,” she wrote.

Sarah Woodward said: “I totally understand why people arent buying the season tickets - not many people want to go to Kidderminster and even less want to risk throwing their money away when the club ultimately goes under three games into next season.

“I think maybe we should admit that’s it for Worcester City and hope someone starts afresh when times are better.”

However, writing on the Worcester News website, Doogie drew some optimism from the gloomy news.

"There are quite a few instances of clubs being wound up and starting again from nothing and being successful,” he wrote.

“Obviously, it means starting from several levels below the current ... but it would not necessarily mean the end of semi professinal football in Worcester.

“Also, if City were a few notches down the pyramid, more convenient ground sharing options may be available.

“Perhaps the news is not all bad.”
