PRESS AND MEDIA OFFICERS APPOINTED

Altrincham Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of John Edwards and Brian Flynn as Press and Media Officers.

John has supported the Robins since the 1960s and hails from Brooklands in Sale. He is a sports writer with the Daily Mail, primarily covering Liverpool and Everton and lives in Ripponden in West Yorkshire.

Brian Flynn has been an avid Altrincham fan since 1972 and, for the last 20 years, has kept supporters updated with match reports and interviews on Altrincham ClubCall as well as covering games on Radio Manchester.

John and Brian will utilise their excellent contacts to work together to promote Altrincham Football Club positively within both local and national media.


This is so important as we build the club up. Delighted by this...

That's impressive.

still think coburn was a better signing.

I'm pleased to say that John Edwards initially got in touch via the contact form on the Ideas 4 Alty website and I then put him in touch with Grahame Rowley. I'm delighted that the website played a part (however small) in bringing such an important person to the club.

We all know what a fantastic job Brian Flynn does and he will be a really valuable asset to the club (even more so than before).

It's all indicative of the fact the club is becoming more professional than it has ever been before, and is a valuable lesson to other clubs at this level that there is more to being "pro" than training 4 mornings a week.

Well done to all at the club who have helped make this happen, you've done a great thing here!

With these and the appointment of Lisa Jones I can see the club having the highest profile it's had for a long time.

Lisa Jones certainly raised my profile.

An great example of how to use the press (not that these guys need it) is below by Oxford...

Firstly, hoping to get a Man United Friendly

Then getting the friendly and the delight of it all, major bonus etc...and publcity for the other games

Then a reminder of all the games again  in another story which is a non story really...
