1997 - The Football Association is to hold an inquiry next Wednesday into the disorder that marred last weekend's FA Umbro Trophy tie between Altrincham and Bishop Auckland. The match was suspended for 24 minutes by the referee after away supporters allegedly attacked police, and eight fans were arrested.
Bishop Auckland's president, Brian Newton, apologised for the conduct of his club's fans yesterday. "The club wishes to place on record it totally deplores the actions of a minority of people at the game whose actions are a total discredit to football," he said.
good luck to you for the rest of this season.
