Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Reality check!!
« on: January 04, 2008, 12:55:11 PM »
This is developing into a real dabate, Longsden, how much to hire British Airways facility? £100 per day? £500 per week, £2000 per month, £16,000 for the season. That's a lot of sponsorship mate from training kit, etc. Then there's full time coaching staff, groundstaff to take care of the training facility, alternate training facilities for extreme weather, the list is endless. All sounds great untill the realities are brought to the fore.

Ecky, what about full time training facilities? Full time coaching staff? More to full time than full time players.

« on: January 04, 2008, 09:46:46 AM »Whilst Saturday's opponents and 90% of Conference National footballers were sat at home with their feet up, Alty's squad were training for 2 hours in the freezing cold on the Astro pitch near the ground . And this is the case week in, week out, with the intention of maintaining their place in this very competitive league. I spent 10 minutes or so talking to Stuart (Coburn) about how the league has changed in the last 5 years or so, from completely part time, other than Rushden when Mr. Martens took control, to now, with the likes of Oxford, Torquay, Exeter, York, Halifax,etc. , all clubs who have been nothing else but full - time as far as I can remember. Next time anyone question's the commitment of the lads, take the time to see them train, you'll soon change your mind, they desperately want to stay in Conference National, and what's more, feel confident in doing so.
As a final thought, after the above, full timers are now preparing for tomorrow's games, whilst Alty's players are going about their daytime jobs, and happy to be doing so.

I personally know how hard the lads train coz I put Stuart through a "gruelling" session, trying to iron 1 or 2 things out. For him, playing at the likes of Oxford and Exeter make all the effort worth while. As Ecky said, better than trips to Vauxhall and Redditch, with no disrespect to those clubs intended. How many Conference North clubs would swap with Alty's position now?

Having watched that lot tonight , it shows the efforts put in by Alty's players, along with the likes of Farsley's, to perform at the level they do is superb. I know, as an ex semi pro footballer, the time you have to put in to play at a high level, shuffling your job around the game you love. Pity that lot in white tonight did'nt show the same effort. The likes of Lampard will have his day off tomorrow, then do a bit of a jog thursday in the knowledge that come his next payday, they'll be another small fortune against his name. That's why I support Non League Football, and always will!!

Altrincham FC First Team / Weymouth's Gk getting a "right slagging off" on Weymouth forum.
« on: November 18, 2007, 11:56:06 AM »
Just goes to show how lucky Altyare to have Stu Coburn, surely the best "Part-time" GK in The Blue Square. How he has'nt been a Full Time Professional beggar's belief.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Todays game
« on: November 10, 2007, 08:02:40 PM »
There is no doubt in my mind that Alty would have won but for the penalty incident.Upto the penalty, Millwall seemed short of ideas other than pumping high balls into the box, and Tinson and Shotton were coping quite comfortably with them. The referee was left with little choice but to send Lane off, but he might have done the same to Millwall's left back, when he tackled Chris Senior from behind shortly after being booked for handball, but got away with a warning. Game's turn on incidents like these, and on this occasion it turned in Millwall's favour. Fabulous effort from the 10 men, but it was'nt to be.

« on: November 08, 2007, 03:24:02 PM »What happened to the away shirts? I ordered one at the friendly against Bury and i'm still waiting. I know the club received a dodgy batch which had to be scrapped but by the time they arrive they will be out of date.
Let me know your order and I'll get it to the club for next weekend, apologies!!!
