Altrincham FC First Team / I may be some time...
« on: September 29, 2011, 09:32:57 AM »
This weekend, I will be mostly cleaning out the loft of our house prior to renewing the insulation. In my loft sits my Alty programme and newspaper reports collection, home & aways, dating back to the early 60s. I fully expect not to re-emerge for several weeks as I just know I wont be able to resist wading through them for the first time in maybe 10 years or so.

Don't wait up!   ;D

Altrincham FC First Team / Radio Robins - New service ongoing testing
« on: July 14, 2011, 09:04:04 PM »
Hi,

The new service is now up and running at the temporary address of http://193.33.186.20/start/briflynn/

Please feel free to test the service out - any feedback regarding this is greatly appreciated.

Currently the audio is only accessible by choosing one of the media app. links. It is anticipated that it will also run directly from the web page when we've finalised the page itself.

The audio should be available via iPhones (via Quicktime) and HTC phones  - I got the later to work by downloading a free app called "A Online radio" and adding the station http://193.33.186.20:8060  -  there's probably a more friendly way of doing it.

The station is currently broadcasting the match commentary from the home Tamworth game last season and also music from local band Harbingers

Thanks,
Paul

Altrincham FC First Team / Radio Robins Technical Discussions - *Warning" Highly geeky conversations :)
« on: July 10, 2011, 10:55:54 AM »
From previous thread...

Thanks for the input Wayno. The actual connection to the internet, either wired or wireless is not the issue here, certainly at Moss Lane. The problems we are encountering is a reliability with the Shoutcast service itself - we have found when it reaches a certain number of listeners the server kicks users out, won't let new listeners in and ultimately the server has to be restarted. Yesterday was a good case in point - all working fine until just before 3pm when the Shoutcast server was hit with a rush of new listeners taking it to a total of over 250 and the server just couldn't cope. We restarted it and broadcast at a lower rate and as you rightly point out, the broadcast quality suffers though it was quite acceptable yesterday. At the lower rate however, the direct web page broadcast doesn't work and listeners have to use Winamp, Media Player or RealPlayer to access the stream. The trade off is that at the lower rate (24k yesterday) the server handled 167 listeners at its peak and didn't falter again once it was settled.

The broadcast delay is just something we have to live with - I guess if people are listening to the commentary they aren't at the game so wont be too bothered about what has been a typically (for us) 30 second lag.

Away games are a different matter  - we are in the hands of the host club with regard to the internet connectivity so actually getting the commentary to Shoutcast can prove problematic in itself.

All comments & suggestions welcomed - we're all keen to get this service running as smoothly and reliable as possible, hopefully in time for the new season.

Altrincham FC First Team / Alty's 85/86 team's place in history
« on: June 12, 2011, 12:33:21 PM »
Just watching the "Part time & proud" video and picked up on Paul Cuddy rating the 85/86 team as the best he played in and shading it over the 81 (sic) team. From what I remember Paul came into the Alty side during the 81-82 season when the great double title winning team was on the wane so maybe his comparison is a little unfair. It got me thinking though about how the 85-86 team is regarded - of course they won the Trophy and had a memorable cup run but didn't actually win the title. Having followed the team home and away throughout both periods I don't think the later team was as good or as entertaining as the side between 79 and 81 - I may be wrong here but I don't think attendances during 85-86 were particularly great, especially bearing in mind results on the field - they certainly didn't compare to 79-81 or even 90/91 when we had a very entertaining and successful side but one that ultimately won nothing :(   We perhaps don't talk about Paul Reid, Peter Conning, Ronnie Ellis, Phil Gardner etc with such reverence as we recall John King, John Rogers, Jeff Johnson, Barry Howard etc so individually I think the earlier team was superior. In 1986 Doug Newton got in the team and he was crap and had a mullet to boot!  :D

I wonder how much more highly regarded the 85/86 team would if the FA Cup win at Birmingham had been televised, rather than airbrushed out of history because it wasn't covered satisfactorily. Mind you, I think the 80-81 team would have won 3-0! :)

Altrincham FC First Team / No Alty match reports in the Sunday Mirror
« on: March 27, 2011, 11:43:02 AM »
Has anyone noticed that in the Sunday Mirror's summary of BSP games, Alty are never mentioned unless they played someone up at the top of the league like Wimbledon, Crawley etc.  Absolutely no mention of the great win yesterday - its the same every week... Alty just don't seem to exist in the eyes of some factions of the sporting press. It mildly annoys me every week. >:( Rant over  :D

Altrincham FC First Team / Commentary from last night's game now being re-run on Radio Robins
« on: March 16, 2011, 07:55:53 AM »
Hi All,

The commentary from last night's game is being re-run today on Radio Robins.

Thanks for all the positive comments regarding last night's broadcast - considering it was the first attempt and quite a late decision to go with the live broadcast for that particular game it went reasonably well.

 ;D
