You might be that desperate, but I don't think Altrincham fans are THAT desperate.

There's more chance of me buying a Macc shirt!

give them as little money as possible.

Long memories here and no sympathy. FGR and Macc are pretty close on my list of 'clubs wanting to die'

They are getting nothing off me.

Mainly because I am not going hehehe.

But if was I would bring a flask of coffee and my own pie bought from Greggs!

I might consider giving them the dirt from under mt finger nails, but probably not.

GIVING ? ? ? Fingernail dirt is a very saleable commodity. Many children in deprived areas (e.g. Mansfield, and probably Greater Stroud) are practically reared on it !

Songs for Saturday are plentiful!

First up a bit of context...

"Here's to you Jimmy Robinson,
Colin took our 18 points away,
Now he'll pay, whey hey hay"

Then at the bucket collection...

"Shall we pay, shall we pay
Shall we pay your bills for you
shall we pay your bills for you?" - NO F*&^ OFF!

"Who's that coming up your hill - it is the tax man, it is the tax man"

"Show me the way to admin-istration,
Forest Green have got no money,
Show me the way to admin- istration,
Colin Peake will take you there,
tra - la la........

There must be loads more!

In brief, google "James robinson altrincham" and read the BBC sport article about us losing 18 points. That was allegedly orchestrated by FGR in the person of their then secretary Colin Peake ... Hence Bad Karma on here = 'Peake' ; Good Karma = 'Goodwin' (i.e. our chairman)

And have a Goodwin for your honesty.

The emails he wrote can be seen here as there were leaked by one disgusted club...

http://ftgotg.blogspot.com/

At the time FGR were involved in he relegation scrap with us so us losing 18 points would save them.

At a time when other clubs were supporting us, including Mick Woodward at Grays who paid in excess of £20,000 for his top lawyer to defend us, he took it upon himself to email every other conference club but us and try and unite them against us.

Also at the time, the Conference were unsure of how to play it...so he threatened them with legal action which they certainly didn't want.

Perhaps a song for tomorrow:

Peake, Peake, wherever you may be,
Sending your emails about Alty,
But your club’s a joke and you didn’t pay your tax,
And now you’ll go under just like Halifax!

Perhaps if his club does go tits up we could all email him and see how he fkn likes it...

I remember when I first became a fan and when I asked why we didn't like Forest Green I got about 5 peakes for it and a load of replies saying "You have GOT to be joking!"
