What a moronic post from Halifaxwa**ker or whatever he was called.
When the league committee remove a club for misdemeanors (usually financial) or a club resigns from the league, then the highest placed 'relegated' side is reinstated in the division. I doubt the reinstated club even has a choice in the matter i.e you could not then 'go down' even if you wanted to !
Altrincham have been fortunate to benefit from this twice, but it's not cheating. To some it's lucky, to others it's justice for running the club properly and actually paying for what you have had.
Suggest the Halifax correspondent goes and discusses this with the local carpet fitter or laundry owner who is owed £3000 by their club and who's kids had no presents at Christmas, meanwhile they try and amass enough points to stay up by paying 30 full-time footballers £25k per year on crowds of 1400 !
