Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Radio Robins: FC United of Manchester v Altrincham (FA Youth Cup)

That made me chuckle!
Well done youths - good scalp that!
It might be good scalp based upon the fact they never seem to be out of the local media and because their youth team may attract a few who think they are at MUFC.........but is it a big scalp for Altrincham FC Youth based on track record and pedigree ?
Doing my research ahead of the commentary for Radio Robins I noted on their website that their record attendance for an away match (friendly) was 23,000 v Bucheon FC on 18 July 2009 at the Bucheon Sports Complex in South Korea !
I wonder how long it took 23,000 South Koreans to realise that it was not THE Manchester United side they had turned up to watch.
Apart from that they have a great set up down in Moston, great catering and the match was played in the right spirit with some quality football.
If the lads beat Hebburn or Workington in the next round and get a home or local draw afterwards they are definitely worth checking out.
