1811 Witchery (nickname - "The Whoors") is an Edinburgh based student football team who have just completed their inaugural season in the Edinburgh University "Inter-Mural" League. They performed admirably in their first season (divided between an Opening (Apertura) Championship - September to December) and a Closing (Clausura) Championship - January to March) but however with out much success. The Whoors are a team that rely on grit, determination, teamwork and camaraderie rather than skill, technique and sound tactics.


History.
1811 Witchery was founded in early 2006 by workers at the Cadies and Witchery Tours, Edinburgh. Most notable amongst these founding members where Ewen Amos, a football mad highlander, and Peter Ried, a football mad "jod-botherer". They envisaged regular eleven-a-sides to quench their thirst for serious, competitive football. Initially, they recruited their work colleagues, Chris Forster, Clark Dawson, Euan McInnes, Kevin O'Donnell, Cameron Black and Cameron Wishart to form the basis of the team. Some of these players still play a crucial role for the team, others none at all.
Amos and Ried soon realised that they would need to significantly expand their player base if they were to be able to take the field, let alone try and win a game. Luckily Amos, a regular on the Edinburgh boozing circuit for many years previously, had built up a formidable list of contacts. Firstly he set about recruiting his kith and kin - The Highlanders. Aonghais Ferguson, Fionnlagh Byrne, Giles Ashton, John Mclennan, Andrew Hamilton, Niall Rore and Ewen Mackenna where all signed up on a free. He then turned to the Caledonian Bacpackers Hostel
to add a much needed cosmopolitan feel to their squad. Englishmen Edward Thompson and Chris Webster together with Antipodeans Tyler Riordan and Douglas Wier were dragged from the bar long enough to put pen to paper on their new contracts. The team was complete with the signings of Chris Garden, Donald Hayes and Scott McNiell who impressed during a trial match against a Highland select.

The Russian Takeover.
Shortly before the start of the 2006 Apertura Championship 1811 was rocked to its very core with the news that Russian oligarch Andrey Hamaldovic (a.k.a "The Piece from the East") had secured ownership of the club through a hostile takeover. Many fans and players where sceptical at first but soon warmed to the friendly, if a bit loud when drunk, Russki as it soon became aparent that no ones position was under threat. Particularly that of player/manager Ewen Amos. The players where not overly concerned about loosing his tactical nous and playing ability but were thrown into a positive frenzy with the thought that chief "WAG" Mshell may no longer be attending their matches (Mshell is romantically linked with Ewen Amos) should Amos loose his job.

The "Wags".
The WAGS are the Whoors answer to a continental style ULTRAZ. Attending every match come rain, hail or 9-0 defeats. Led by the eponymous Mshell (compared to Red Star Belgrade Ultra leader and Serbian war criminal "Arkan") the WAGS modelled themselves on the Liverpool footballers wives culture made famous by the likes of Coleen McLoughlan and Alex Curran. Indeed, the fact that Mshell is a resident of Liverpool shows the strong influence city has over the Whoors female fanbase. Other notable WAGS include Lisa Briggs, Alex Foy, Laura Hamilton, Clare Cadogan and Katy Halmond.
