A breakaway club, 1874 Northwich FC, was founded by the Northwich Victoria Supporters Trust following a vote by its membership on 15 November 2012. The members voted by 141 to 0 in favour of breaking away from the club they supported and forming a new community owned team in their town.[1][2] It emerged, on the day of the vote, that the owner of Northwich Victoria had been declared bankrupt and therefore failed the FA Fit and Proper Persons test.[3] On 29 November 2012 fans attended an open meeting in Northwich, where they chose the name 1874 Northwich for the club.[4] In order to avoid legal issues over the new clubs name, none of the proposed options presented to fans included the words Vics or Victoria.[5]
On 3 January 2013 it was confirmed that the club was officially registered with the Cheshire FA and had applied to join the league in time for the 2013–14 season.[6]
On 25 April 2013 it was announced that former Winsford United and Ashton Athletic boss Ian Street would be the club's very first manager.[7] On 28 April 2013 Lee Duckworth was named as Street's assistant.[8]
