Decent signing that,if confirmed.

No nonsense defender, may be just what we need, albeit probably a few months too late!

Just to be clear, Chris Lynch has not signed for Altrincham.

Here we go again with communication pantomime

Someone best tell Salford and Chris Lynch if that's the case as they seem to think he has

He's certainly left Salford and isn't denying he's joined us on Twitter.

Let me apologise for all the confusion.  Chris Lynch isn't an Alty player at the moment - Social Media has a life (and speed) of its own.

Also I will answer the question about who does what on Comms (inc Social Media) in the coming days.

Lets hope social media hasnt thwarted a potential signing

Well, either Salford jumped the gun or we have dragged our feet.

Know where my money is...

Salford are confirming it on their website who presumably are close to their social media team. Guess that's the calibre you get when you only charge £7 to get in eh Gary N?

It is irrelevant as to how news leaks out, print, twitter, carrier pigeon or smoke signals. It is only to do with all parties agreeing and adhering to a comms protocol in advance.

Anyway, welcome to you.

According to the Salford site he's chosen to leave to join Alty rather than being released. He's not long since returned to Salford after a spell in Australia so maybe we're making sure International clearance is all above board before announcing it. One bitten and all that!!

I was thinking similar,it shows how low we've gone when people are quite happy with us signing Chris Lynch! I do think he'll be a decent Evostick defender,he has plenty of experience and may even captain the side next season.

Welcome to Alty Lynchy! Can confirm he has now signed for Alty after speaking with him tonight as he is a good friend of mine. Good addition to the squad!

Shows how far we have regressed. I seemed to recall he was a tough fully committed but not great footballer. Jones, Owens, Lynch - Matts dogs of war.

Probably better defensively than Patterson ? not sure what's happening with Densmore ?

Welcome to Alty again. You'll see the warm welcomes from the forum to new signings are still as loving as ever!

Durham City did manage nul pointes a few years back after having all 6 of theirs deducted.

We'd only get points deducted that we achieved with him in the team or the minimum which I think is 6 points so unfortunately we'll only be breaking our own records this season and not getting any publicity for being the laughing stock of world football.

It will be announced when he signs, which hasn't happened as of yet.

Indicates to me that we're doing things correctly on the comms front.
