Altrincham FC First Team / Striker signing
« on: November 20, 2009, 01:43:33 PM »
From official site:

Altrincham FC have signed 6ft 4in striker John McAliskey from Witton Albion. John impressed when playing against Altrincham recently in the Cheshire Senior Cup. He was born on 2.9.84 in Huddersfield, and played in the Football League for Huddersfield Town between 2003 and 2007, appearing in 16(+32) games in all categories and scoring 7 goals. Whilst with Huddersfield he had loan spells at Torquay United (30/9/05 to 30/11/05, playing 3 games) and Wrexham (19/9/06 to 19/10/06, playing 4 games). He then played League football for Mansfield Town from 1/8/07, playing 11(+9) games in all competitions and netting 2 goals. The Stags released him on 27 March 2008 and he joined Alfreton Town.
John had only joined Witton Albion in October 2009, having previously been at Salford City and Northwich Victoria. In September 2009 he had also registered with Alsager Town. He will wear squad number 17.

Sounds just what we need.

Altrincham FC First Team / Kettering home game
« on: November 16, 2009, 02:36:17 PM »
I don't know how authoritative this is but the BBC seems to think our home game with Kettering has been re-arranged for Jan 12th.

Altrincham FC First Team / Moffat and Edwards
« on: October 02, 2009, 04:38:00 PM »
Anyone heard what's happening with these two?

Both loan periods have ended and what with them being injured and other injuries clearing up, I'd guess they've gone back to Utd and Vale respectively.

Altrincham FC First Team / Team news from the BBC
« on: October 02, 2009, 01:47:31 PM »
Rushden striker Aaron O'Connor has a muscle problem and is only rated as 50-50 for the visit of Altrincham.

Lee Tomlin serves the final game of a three-match suspension, while midfield pair Rob Wolleaston and Nick McNamara (both knee) are still out.

Altrincham could recall Greg Young following the defender's recovery from a bout of mumps.

However, Colin Little (knee), Dale Johnson (leg) and Aaron Burns (head) will all miss the game at Nene Park.

Altrincham FC First Team / Cambridge team news from the BBC (ie may contain lies)
« on: September 07, 2009, 03:49:07 PM »
Cambridge boss Martin Ling has no new injury worries and is unlikely to change the side that thrashed Forest Green 7-0 on Saturday.

Lee Phillips could be on the bench after recovering from a knee injury.

Altrincham are without injured pair Scott Moffatt and Dale Johnson, while Shaun Densmore is suspended.

Chris Senior could feature on the bench, but Colin Little (ankle) is doubtful and Robbie Lawton and Michael Welch are long-term absentees.

Altrincham FC First Team / Final game of the season
« on: February 18, 2009, 11:37:19 PM »
John Laidlar had this on the website the other day:

"Although one or two clubs have jumped the gun with an announcement, the Blue Square Premier is yet to confirm whether they will change the date and/or time of the final matchday of the season, currently scheduled for Saturday, April 25th."

Does anyone know what the rumoured change is? Just want to be prepared for all eventualities.

Altrincham FC First Team / Kettering v Fulham
« on: January 24, 2009, 10:17:53 PM »
Just watching the highlights of this match and the commentator mentioned that it's the first time a top-flight side had visited Rockingham Road in the FA Cup.

Which made me wonder - have we ever played a top-flight side at Moss Lane? Blackburn in the 70s possibly - were they top-flight then?

Altrincham FC First Team / Carlos Logan

Interesting article about Carlos Logan. If he really has turned things round, you have to say fair play to him and Barrow.

Altrincham FC First Team / Barrow v Brentford tonight
« on: November 28, 2008, 11:08:20 AM »
Am I right in assuming that if this game ends in a draw, our game at Holker St on Dec 9th will be postponed? FA Cup replays always seem to happen a week and a half after the original tie these days, so that would be my guess.

Altrincham FC First Team / The 100 Club
« on: October 27, 2008, 03:28:18 PM »
While thoughts are understandably turning towards the Luton game, I think it'd be good to take a moment to congratulate Colin Little on reaching 100 goals for the club. A great achievement by a class act. I hope the club is planning something to honour the occasion.

He joins a pretty exclusive group who have reached this mark. The present manager is of course in there, along with two teammates from the great team of the late 70s and early 80s - Jeff Johnson and John Rogers. And then of course there's the Don Bradman of Alty goalscorers, Jackie Swindells, who nearly got 100 in a season never mind a career. I imagine there are a few others from the 60s and before but I'd guess not more than a handful. Anyone know the full list?

Altrincham FC First Team / Great Start
« on: August 10, 2008, 10:55:27 AM »
Congratulations to the players and the management team on a great start to the season. Within ten minutes, I was thinking to myself 'this is quite simply a different team to last year' and the first half display overall was very good. And the celebrations of the opening goal were tremendous.
We dropped off markedly in the second half but and a draw would have been a fair result - but then a moment of class from a class player won it.

A few things stood out for me, such as the fact that all eleven players starting for us were playing in their best position. No-one was 'filling in' or 'doing a job' out of position. And then all the subs came on like-for-like, so we didn't change to a more defensive formation, even when we were under the cosh a bit, and had two strikers and two wingers for the full ninety minutes. A very heartening change of tactics, I'd say.

Johnson looks like a tremendous signing and all the other debutants played well too but I still think Colin Little is going to be the main man again this season. And I think when he's developed a full understanding with Johnson, Elam, Denham, Meechan etc., he could cause havoc.

Overall, a superb day. When was our last away win on the opening day of a season?
