From the club website....
Altrincham FC official caterer, Richie Bentley writes that "My crazy life gets better as I went to the wholesalers to buy Topside this morning. 'Do you want a free mince pie?' was the question from Charlie, the assistant manager at Booker Macclesfield. I replied 'Yes, please!'
I then followed that up with the question 'How many?'. Booker have long supported Altrincham FC and me and were happy to donate the remaining stock to me FREE of charge, all with a sell by date of 1/02/2014.
They were simply clearing the shelves for new promotions so I am now the proud owner of 2,000 mince pies. I intend to give these away for FREE to all home and away supporters as a FREE gesture from the Club and its catering staff to thank them for all their support, especially since amazing club stalwart, Keith Davey sadly passed away. I know he would be really proud of the way Dawn, Gemma and the team have run the Catering Units since I and Dawn undertook the privilege of running them for the Club.
Thank you to our amazing fans for using the Club's facilities and I hope our small gesture shows them how amazing we think they all are!"
