The conditions are now being set for a wonderful future at our club, Altrincham FC, and it appears to be the real deal.
The nearby environs of Hale, Hale Barns, Bowdon, Wilmslow, Ashley, Mobberley and Knutsford are Alty's catchment area have always been stuck with the label 'Posh' or the 'Cheshire Stockbroker Belt'. However, over the past few decades a significant demographic shift has occurred around and about these leafy towns and villages that provides Alty FC with an unprecedented opportunity.
The Super-Rich have arrived in our back yard and relatively speaking there are a lot of them. Some of them are not just multi-millionaires but billionaires. They bring with them not only investment cash but some savvy business acumen.
Altrincham Association Football Club will soon rise up as a beacon of success emulating the success of the Town and its residents.
We now have the ear of some influential individuals and success on the field should attract further inward investment and this coupled with increased revenue from the inevitable larger attendances means that ground development becomes a reality rather than the pipe dream that it was yesterday.
I look forward to our average attendances rising to 5,000+
When I heard about this I had butterflies. Well done to all involved. Macclesfield fans read this and weep.
