Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Best Signing of the Season?
« on: April 08, 2010, 01:11:28 PM »
It was almost a toss-up between Williams and Clee.
Clee is a very exciting player who has blossomed as the season went on - but so did Robbie.

I voted for Williams because we were all worried by the departure of McGregor and the fitness of Welch and were concerned that the stable defence we'd started to get together last season would be absent this time round.

As it turned out with Rob and Greg, we've got the best centre back pairing we've had for many a year and it's enabled us to win points this year we would previously definitely have lost ... so, by a whisker, Rob Williams for me.






PS: if we were voting for revelation of the season, it would have been between Clee and Smith.

Without Colin we'd not have got back in the Conf when we did.

Thanks for all the very happy memories and I hope you have a very successful career at OT. I'm absolutely positive you will. We're all going to miss you.

I'd hate to choose between you and Jackie S ... and that says it all. The word is often overused nowadays, but you are, and always will be, a TRUE legend to all Alty fans.

Looking good for Mr Peake then :(

That IS the main drawback IMO  :(

I think if FGR don't stay up or get a reprieve, they could very well have to do something similar - or at least go into Admin and start next season on -10 points

Just flipped my AFC calendar over to April, and saw four quality pictures of Jackie Swindells, at an absolutely packed Moss Lane. What a shame we can't draw those sort of crowds now.


I suppose we have the advance of technology (pc games etc) and other media things such as Sky to thank as to why we dont get the crowds we use to when the great Mr Swindells used to grace the turf of ML.

That, and the fact it only cost half a groat to get in  :D My first adult season ticket, for 66/7 season was 4 guineas (i.e. £4.20) for 21 Cheshire League games and 17 or 18 reserve matches in the Manchester League!
That WAS value  ;)

Gloomy memories for me. I was at Ewen Fields to watch us get battered 5-1 in 67.
Other notable sources on here will probably have better memories than me about such things but I think that Hyde team was the one with the midget forawrd line that included Wilford (who later came to us) and our ex-reserve winger the original Johnny 'creepy' Crawley.

50, 55, 60...  mid-table is mid-table no?

No. That's the attitude our up-coming opponents would love us to have.

55 is probably just bottom half, 60 is possibly top half and a fabulous finish to a great, great season for us.

« on: March 30, 2010, 09:28:57 PM »
I don't think they're expunged, I think rather than 5 yellows meaning a ban, it goes to 10 ... so in practice it's the same thing.

I could be VERY mistaken about this but I'm sure;
  a)  Some kind person will tell me whether I am correct, and
  b)  Some intelligent Alty fan will know the answer!

What's happened to Altygal?  ???

I had a strop - I'm back now ! ;D



We've all had one of those as Alty fans at some time or other!  ;)

Have a G for coming back on to start you off!

Altrincham FC First Team / The run-in ...
« on: March 30, 2010, 02:12:17 PM »
My (hopeful) target for the season was 60 points (the original one, at the start, was 46!).
With the 4 wiped off due to Chester's demise that gives 56.
I must admit that after the fantastic season we've had I'd be "disappointed" at that (ungracious, I know).

If we can beat Kiddie or Cambridge and salisbury, there's still a chance isn't there?

We always pick up unlikely points being the unpredicatable Alty we all know and love so where do YOU think we'll pick up those points (or, indeed, where are the banana skins?)

credit to you on your midtable finish , it is a terrific achievment given your stature however I dont buy this ' we only had 14 players fit what did you expect'  nonsense your team has been defensive all season not just on tuesday , you play 4-5-1 at home  FFS your fast becoming known as the most negative team in the league

How come we've scored 9 goals more than your mob them? (and let in the same number)

On the one hand, we're safe for this season so that's ok.

On the other, we alty fans wouls all love to win this more than perhaps any other match that's still left to play this season.

I'm sure the players and management know this and because of that (and because we are the mighty Alty) I'm going for a repeat of last season ... 3-1 to the Supers!

Come on you Robins

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: is there a new target?
« on: March 26, 2010, 09:09:40 PM »
According to JL's forecast we'll finish 11th on 61pts which will, according to Cult's summary, be our best finish since the 93-94 season. I appreciate we have to play the top teams but even with a depleted squad we're looking very difficult to break down.

C'mon lads - big push for the line.

Hate to be pedantic but it would be the best since 1994-95. Still fifteen years though! I'd settle for that 8) :)
