Hi to one and all.

I have just returned from holiday in Mexico and missed the start of the season. I have been in Wythenshaw Hospital over the weekend for a Haemmorhoidectomy operaton and my ass is now killing me. This is the culmination of 8 years trouble I have had which has now hopefully come to an end. I have not had much to smile about over the last weekend, but have had great pleasure in seeing our club results, and reports on the sites, and it has really put a smile on my face and been something very positive for me.

I am unable to make the game on Tuesday now due to the operation, and am gutted as I cannot yet use my season ticket but should be back to see the Saturday one; V AFC Wimbledon. I am unable to drive, sit down or go to work, and am in constant pain - the worst I have ever had in my whole life; I would not wish in on anybody!!

Perhaps Graham and Ken would like to thank the lads on my behalf for me for their results so far. They have really cheered me up at a low point, which should not now last much longer. Great results for us all, and long may they continue.

Thanks for cheering me up, and keep up the good work lads.

See you all hopefully at the Wimbledon game if I am up to it.

Fondest regards

RE Dale Johnson in the earlier thread.

I personally think this may be Dales season. Despite his lack of goal scoring, he holds the ball up very well and is also very skilfull. Other teams fear him when he runs at them. But where he will benefit is with Ken McKenna's experience as a prolific goal scoring striker. Taking nothing away from what Graham does for the team, but the addition of Kenny and his vast experience as a top-notch non-league striker can only be of great benefit to Dale and the team as a whole. Both Graham and Kenny can bring the best out of him but I am sure Kenny will help him with his game and he will more than achieve his goals - in more ways than one!!

Going on my jollies now, see you all next season

Dear Jill

I am sorry to say I missed your dad play by 3 years, but on becoming a Robins fan, all the older members told me many stories about your fathers exploits. He was very much loved at Altrincham, my own lads even ask about him often even though I never saw him play. But I tell them about him as much as I can, from what I have learnt. I also know and understand your loss and share your grief at this sad time, I lost my father in 1985 and I still miss him now. As time goes by we learn to deal with it, and you will too. But his memories are still upstairs between my two ears. Yours will be too.

Perhaps reading all these tributes will help a great deal, all I can say is I wish to god I could have seen your father play just once for this club that we both hold dear.

Best wishes to you and all of your family for the future, keep the meories close to all your hearts.


Love from

Sorry but Im going to trump all those with my ace card

Worst game for fans when I was a steward also, was the Home Port Vale FA cup game a few years ago. Due to a mix up with ticket sales half the Vale fans ended up in the home end, and were chanting and very very intimidating. How that did not kick off into a major riot I will never know.

Can anybody elase trump that, or is the enough trumping for the evening.
