TASC chairman Brian Flynn writes:
"At a pivotal stage of the season, the board of Altrincham Football Club have stepped in to support the retention of the magnificent travelling support that the team have been given this season and, at the same time, potentially solve a financial conundrum for The Altrincham Supporters' Club (TASC).

The club are laying on a FREE 42-seater GoGoodwins coach for supporters to travel in to The Shay Stadium on Saturday and, as far as TASC Travel Co-ordinator Tom Jacobs is concerned, the timing couldn’t be better. 'Despite really good support for the coach travel service this season, we have made some significant losses on a number of trips and we couldn’t risk that happening again at Halifax, therefore our plan was to run a minibus. We are hugely grateful to the directors for helping us out. The timing couldn’t be better. We will be asking for donations from supporters using the coach service but the great thing is that we should be taking a full coach to a really important fixture and, hopefully, that will help to produce a positive team performance and result'".

Chairman, Grahame Rowley said 'As everyone is aware, we have had a bad run recently and at Tuesday’s board meeting, we felt that this was the best way of showing our support for the management, players and supporters at this time'".


Can't say fairer than that, so get on it!

[Mrs Warbouys]

That's a brilliant gesture, many thanks

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

This is a fantastic gesture, let's get as many fans to the game as possible!

[Nasha]

Just booked on. The minibus was full so was looking at driving or train, so many thanks to the club, a great gesture.

Let's move on and move back up the table!!!

Would the money not be better used by putting it towards the playing budget or has Mr Goodwin supplied the coach free?

[arnald]

its a great idea the free coach , a good step forward

[Toff Apple]

Great gesture,

[fuertes]

How many do we think we can take over there?

[bumble]

How many do we think we can take over there?

Hopefully 42 on the coach , 20 on the train then 30 drive?

I'd like to hope we'd take 80-100....

Or am I too optimistic?

[Trouty]

Great idea, just hope theres room left on the coach when I ring in the morning

[VofD]

Free, but you will be asked to make a donation.

This does not appease me after the dreadful cup exits at the hands of Witton and FCUM.

[Jacobs]

That is pretty simple then, don't go..... But thanks for your post.

[VofD]

Thank you. I won't, even though I had previously intended to go.

[Bath Alty]

So you were going to go but because the Chairman has offered to help out with the cost you're now not going.  What exactly could he have done to cheer you up and encourage you to go?

[RageAgainstTheFirstTeam]

Thank you. I won't, even though I had previously intended to go.

Don't be ridiculous. You've been given an offer for free travel and you've given an unnecessarily moody, ungrateful post. Of course you're going to get the organizers backs up.
