Post by: Saughall Robin on April 28, 2009, 11:40:59 AM: I much prefer the occurrence of "mid-table Altrincham' rather than the usual 'Relegation threatened/haunted Altrincham' that we're starting to see in the write-ups.

That's a real step forward in other teams perception of us!

Post by: York Alty on April 28, 2009, 09:59:12 PM: weren't we also the first non-league club to get a full team photo in "Shoot" about 30 years ago?

Fame, we had it & now it's coming back.

ONE ALTY.

I'm not sure the streaming video of Welch's goal will be as well represented within the glossy pages of the mag! ;D

IIRC that was also the fiirst non league game to have its kick off time put back by the police due to crowd congestion. what a day, match was covered on all the football preview programmes that weekend, pity about the rest of the season

Post by: AltyFanInNottm on April 29, 2009, 01:30:21 PM: Wasn't that the game that was a lock-out. Long way from Nottingham to Alty to be locked out.

Post by: markecky on April 29, 2009, 01:39:26 PM: No, everyone got in...the council had put a limit of 3,000 as the ground capacity which was ridiculous.

Crowd given as 3,000 but the the rest had to be added on to other gates to balance it...hence why we got about 1900 for the last game of the season against Boston at home when in fact we were back to the usual 800 diehards!

Post by: Altyroo on April 29, 2009, 02:05:44 PM: Official crowd was 4500. more like 6000 and kick off delayed. Cracking result. Still watch it on video.
Title: Re: you know the clubs made it when...
Post by: markecky on April 29, 2009, 02:27:43 PM: Official crowd was definitely 3000, but there was 4800 there....and it is indeed one of the best videos ever!

"Showlands, he's drifted out of the game a bit in the last ten minutes, he's right back in it now!"

Post by: markecky on April 29, 2009, 02:54:16 PM: "and surely now the fourth division beckons for Altrincham"

John King interview of GMR after it...

"Barnet came to us as league leaders...they have gone away very dejected.."

"So John...what was the difference between the two sides?"

"We scored more goals than them"

Post by: Paul Cain's Chip Pan on April 29, 2009, 05:44:39 PM: "The shot wasn't sure was it"

"Altrincham are a bit strapped for cash in their bid to get into the football league but I'm sure they can afford another football!"

I could never get tired of watching that video! The tragedy is that one day my video player will chew it up and then it will be lost forever!
