Title: We want names!

GEE, WHAT A CLANGER!

On each away trip, the Altrincham FC players hold a quiz. In Saturday's competition, one of the questions was "How many other words can be made from the letters in 'Altrincham'?". One player, who shall remain nameless, gave as his first four words, 'Girl' 'Grim', 'Hang' and 'Ring'. Believing that his team's home town was Altringham the player in question was on the end of what was described by a witness as "some serious stick" from his team-mates!

I suppose the next question is how many words can be made from Altringham Town?

The teasing squad should enforce a public humiliation.

Perhaps talking tactics would be a better use of the time.

Team spirit, teamwork etc counts for a lot.

Technically the player was right if using the old spelling

Should give him his pay cheque with it spelt with a G, see how much attention he pays when he can't cash it.

Apologies if I'm the only one who finds this less than amusing.

"As recently as the 19th century it was spelt both Altrincham and Altringham."  Wikipedia
