I have been asked to look into this as there are several Alty fans who would like to listen to Radio Robins on their Android based phones & tablet PCs.

The following instructions aren't as complicated they look   

- On the Android device, download and install the Shoutcast Client app from the Google Play store (free)


Setting up the Shoutcast app for Radio Robins can be done anytime  - a broadcast does not have to be in progress.

- Go to www.radiorobins.com

- Select and hold down the Direct Shoutcast Link Click Here, then choose Open

- A file called listen.pls will be downloaded

- Select that and open it with the Shoutcast Client when prompted

- The address http://176.31.101.181:8116/ will now be shown as an available station.

This routine only has to be done once.


When Radio Robins is broadcasting...

- Start up the Shoutcast Client app,
- Choose the RR address
- Start
- Enjoy the match 

I successfully tested this during the last match and it worked well on both wireless and 3G mobile internet connections.

Hope this helps someone. Any questions, please ask.

I believe ex-Alty forward Gary Powell is Chester's first team coach - I wonder if he'll be bringing his disco pants with him.

Are we going to hear that old chant today

I saw that a programme for Alty V Winsford on 18-9-1967 sold on eBay for £23 a few days ago. I bought a programme for the home game against Ellesmere Port of later that season for 50p. Anyone know why the Winsford game was so sought after or highly valued? I already have this.

Cheers,

I've rescued my collection of VHS tapes from a depths of the garage and I'll be uploading the various Alty clips I have onto YouTube - quite a few interviews are in here somewhere and not all BBC so I guess they wont have been on the DVD of Alty TV clips that was produced a few years back

Here's the first one...

Told you it was brief. That's as much of that kit I can take though

Apologies if this has been posted before but I spotted this today...

Those of us of a certain vintage will recognise some of the Stafford players

Hi All,

As today's game has been postponed, Radio Robins is re-running the match coverage of the Tottenham Hotspur vs Altrincham FA Cup tie from 1979 - a chance for those who missed the recent broadcast to relive a momentous occasion in Altrincham's history.

The broadcast is running from now till around 5pm on www.radiorobins.com

Enjoy!

From a programme in 1967 - details of plans to cover the Red Robin (Chequers) end of Moss Lane. It all sounds pretty definite... does anyone know why it didn't happen at the time?
