Marcheq has one of the most colorful histories of the clubs in the Winchestia Pro League. Though currently struggling, their fighting spirit and loyal (if violent) fans give them a clear home advantage when they play in Tilse.

Club History

The history of Marcheq is a colorful one. Based in the poor Tilse area of Winchestia, the Marcheq started as a street gang for bored youth. As part of a recruitment drive, they formed a football team and entered the All-Winchestia Cup. They were soundly beaten by Wendle Rovers 10-0. However, many of the Tilse residents found hope for themselves in the team and the next year many adults had joined the ranks. As the only team in Tilse, they applied to join the Higgleton League, but were rejected but the North Higgleton clubs who wanted no part of their "terrorist brats". This left the All-Winchestia Cup as their only chance for glory. Four years later, they duly won the Cup, and some of the senior leaders made contact with the up-and-coming politicians of Wendle. Today former members of the Marcheq hold key government positions, especially in law enforcement.

It was these government workers who brought back the Marcheq name for a professional club in the new league. Unfortunatly, the remote location of Tilse and the militant nature of their fan base scare away most of the good players in Winchestia and Marcheq has been in the basement of the league for some years now. The annual Marcheq-Higgleton United match in Tilse tends to erupt in violence, so much so that Higgleton United strongly suggest to their supporters to not go. Sadly, this is the legacy left by this club and some clubs (led by United) have suggested that they throw Marcheq out of the league
