TRAFFORD FC SEEK MANAGER FOR 2015-2016 SEASON


Trafford Football Club will be appointing a new manager for next season following Graham Heathcote's decision to stand down at the end of the current campaign.


Heathcote succeeded Garry Vaughan back in January when Trafford were already deep in relegation trouble and he has been unable to prevent them dropping down into the Evo Stik League Division One North.


After 45 years in non-league football, 61 year old Heathcote feels he has had enough but will be leading Trafford in their final six games of this season.


As a result of this decision, Trafford are now inviting applications for the Manager's position. Written applications, including a CV, should be sent to: The Chairman, Trafford Football Club, Shawe View, Pennybridge Lane, Urmston, Manchester, M41 5DL.


Closing date for applications is midday on Saturday 2nd May.

Identify this Alty game/the away ground:

You may well have noticed that Stuart Coburn is now just three more games away from overtaking John Davison as the holder of the record number of appearances for Altrincham FC.

In anticipation of this impending milestone, the club are planning a special commemorative programme in honour of Stuart's achievement and I have volunteered to assist Grahame Rowley with its compilation.

Consequently, I would be delighted to receive your favourite memories of Stuart's career with the Robins with a view to including some of them in the proposed celebratory issue of the Robins Review e.g. reminiscences/recollections about a particular incident, game, save, performance (highs and lows!) or penalty save....and, naturally, that goal at Runcorn.

All anecdotes about the great man are welcome, whether they relate to him either on or off the pitch.

Any photographs of Stuart would be most welcome, too (especially any images of him from those days when he had a full head of hair!).

This is your opportunity to pay tribute both to Stuart's immense contribution to the cause of Altrincham FC and the man himself.

Please email your submissions to me at:


towerofsong@btinternet.com


Alternatively, send them via the Private Message facility on this forum (or even track me down in the main stand at the next home match and hand over your written contribution in person).


Incidentally, I would prefer it if the aforementioned procedures are followed rather than just posting your memories on this thread, thereby enabling an element of surprise to be maintained for when the programme eventually appears (it is currently scheduled for the Wrexham fixture on Saturday, 14th March 2015) .

(Memo to Stuart Coburn: please, don't get sent off in the next two games.....).

Many thanks, in anticipation.

Barry Pikesley.

A fairly gentle one, I suspect but here goes.....


What feat was John King the first to accomplish and Michael Twiss the last to achieve?

MACC GAME DATE


The Macclesfield Town v Altrincham league game, postponed from 24 January owing to Altrincham's continuing involvement in the FA Trophy, has been rearranged for Tuesday, 10 February, at 7.45pm.

An Altrincham FC Director during the 1970s, as I recall.

I think that his butcher's shop used to be located on Stamford Park Road.

I'm sure that George Heslop will remember him:

James Norwood sent off in the 83rd minute against FC Halifax Town last night.

There are now stories that both Dale Bennett and Eddie Oshodi also received red cards following this post match fracas:

If this is correct, then they would have three players suspended for the match against us on Saturday.
