Did you ever notice how despite having the shiniest shoes in all of footballdom Bernard never got them muddy even when walking on the pitch?

I beg to differ.

They were extremely muddy in the quagmire surrounding the dugouts at Canal Street on Boxing Day 1998 (when Stuart Coburn scored a goal).

GH appears to have upset some of the Tamworth supporters....!

At least he also seems annoyed that we lost in the Trophy!

Jezza,

Thanks for your response but, as with any AGM, aren't there strict timescales/deadlines regarding when members/shareholders should be in receipt of information pertaining to the actual meeting?

I have heard of a STAR member who didn't receive the documents until last Saturday morning's post.....and not every STAR member will have access to the internet.

Never mind a "glorious" cup run.......I'd be euphoric if we just managed a win over Trafford or Radcliffe Borough in either the FA Cup or Trophy!

Do we need to erect a Portakabin on the Chequers car park so that Danny Adams could enjoy a few reviving half-time pints?

There's always next year for the glorious cup runs!

Didn't we say that last season?!

Altrincham FC First Team / Query re. STAR AGM
« on: January 14, 2007, 10:27:59 PM »
In last Friday's post (12th January 2006), I received an envelope containing the official documentation relating to the Election Of Members and Proposing Motions for the STAR AGM on Monday, 29th January 2007.

The deadline for the receipt of the completed official forms for proposing a motion or the election of a new member is noon tomorrow (Monday, 15th January 2007) at the football ground.

Now, I don't want to be accused of STAR bashing (my Karma rating has been hammered enough already this weekend!) but all I wanted to say was that this just seems to me to be incredibly short notice!

Couldn't these documents have been posted out earlier?

Oh, and the envelope was stamped "Insufficient Postage Paid"!

Gary,

Right, you are on.
I'd better pawn some of the wife's jewellery to raise £10.00 just in case.....

Woking on Saturday must represent a chance of a sneaky away win.
There seems to be a lot of disillusionment with the manager there and St Albans recently won at Woking with only ten men.

It surely has to come....

I honestly can't believe that we could survive relegation without recording at least one away victory.

Gary,

You are not the only one whose Karma rating is taking a hammering!

Nice to see that the thread provoked such a strong reaction.
It shows that people care about this club, if nothing else.

You are a 'glass half full' man and I'm a 'glass half empty' observer.

So, how about the following wager?
It may not raise £9,000 for the club but at least it will add £10.00 to the finances!

I remain deeply troubled by our woeful away form, whereas you (somehow!) remain positive.
So, how about:

If Alty lose at Vics - you donate £10.00 to the club;

if Alty win at Vics - I donate £10.00 to the club?

(If it's a draw, we can both contribute a fiver!).

Believe me, if I end up paying out £10.00 I will be the happiest man on the planet!
 
Are you game?!

Having watched them for over thirty years, I am well aware that Altrincham FC do not have the God given right to win every game!

The fact remains that we were initially drawn at home to Tamworth and that was certainly a match that we were capable of winning (no disrespect to Tamworth, obviously....)..
Cue: £4,000 in the kitty.

We would then have faced Conference South side Welling United at home.
Of course, there is no guarantee whatsoever that we would have defeated them.....but it certainly was a possibility (or am I being too positive there?!).
So, a potential extra £5,000 up for grabs there.

We may then have bowed out of the Trophy in the next round, thereby hardly causing a huge fixture backlog.

Other than selling a key player, name another opportunity that this football club gets to earn a potential £9,000 in only four days!

Gary,

You still haven't explained why a team who score two goals in five minutes are "lucky".

Furthermore, as we are being "realistic", where do you honestly see an Alty away win happening in the near future?

My first trip to Tamworth and it'll be my last. sh*t ground (I honestly can't believe it's allowed in the league - it's not even good enough to be deemed tinpot), sh*t fans (I was verbally abused by some middle-aged bloke who shouted in my face "F*ck off back to Manchester, you f*cking wankers"), sh*t game (I really hope we never have to play them again - has there *ever* been a decent game between us?).

CB:
Alas, we do have to play them once again!

Make sure that you are 'washing your hair' on the afternoon of Saturday, 21st April 2007.....

I'm struggling to remember an Alty goalkeeper with ginger hair!
