Altrincham FC First Team / Barry Howard
« on: August 23, 2023, 12:10:37 AM »
I saw a post on Facebook that Barry Howard has died. I'm not sure of its authenticity and can only hope that it has been reported in error.

He was my favourite player when I stated watching Alty in 1979. I still think he's the best winger we've had at the club.

Altrincham FC First Team / Katie Zelem
« on: August 01, 2023, 12:46:01 PM »
I’m watching the England vs China game, and the name Katie Zelem caught my attention. After checking on Wikipedia, it seems she’s the daughter of Alan Zelem, the Macclesfield goalkeeper who always seemed to play a blinder against us.

I’m now waiting to see if David “Slob” Ryan also has a footballing daughter.

Altrincham FC First Team / Moss Lane on canvas
« on: May 09, 2023, 07:07:37 AM »
I'm unable to visit Moss Lane in person anymore, due to being on the other side of the world, so I thought the next best thing was to bring the J. Davidson Stadium to me.

I just received a lovely canvas painting of the stadium, which I've put on the wall. I bought it from this chap, who seems to be supremely talented: https://www.jkmartwork.com/altrincham-fc-240-c.asp

I was hoping to post a picture of it hanging on my lounge wall, but I can't work out how to insert an image! Trust me, it looks great.

Altrincham FC First Team / Goal of the Season
« on: April 20, 2023, 07:15:25 AM »
I've just watched the twenty goals in the semi-final of Goal of the Season over on Alty TV (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOp_vuJdqro)

The question is, where do I vote? Just by typing a comment on that YouTube page? I can't see anything on either the club website or John Laidlar's page about where to vote - I think in previous seasons there has been a dedicated web page set up for voting.

Altrincham FC First Team / Moving On
« on: May 11, 2022, 12:09:15 PM »
I think the club have just revealed the players who won’t be staying on next season in a Facebook post.

Hampson, Densmore, Moult, Thompson, Hancock, White and Hannigan.

All great servants to the club who will be missed.

Altrincham FC First Team / Wrexham vs Stockport
« on: May 11, 2022, 06:56:42 AM »
Highlights now on YouTube. There seemed to be a total lack of atmosphere at the game, very odd for a top-of-the-table clash in front of 10,000.

https://youtu.be/NL4EuKhB4K4

Also a shout-out to Alty TV in the YouTube comments section: Looking forward to the highlights since Sunday that was so poor! - sounds like the commentry was done after and not during the game. I understand this is free etc but teams like Altrincham are so much better.

I've said it before, but there really is no comparison to the quality of Alty TV's highlights. Thanks to Mark for all of his efforts.

Altrincham FC First Team / 3.5.22
« on: April 30, 2022, 04:21:06 AM »
Sounds like a major announcement is coming up on 3rd May, based on the post on the club’s Facebook page. Moving to hybrid, perhaps? Or even full-time? I suppose another possibility is a change in ownership of the club.

Altrincham FC First Team / Matchday programme - Wrexham
« on: February 09, 2021, 05:01:38 AM »
Does anyone know how I get my hands on the Wrexham programme? I just bought the live stream for the game, and decided to spend the extra couple of quid on the programme., which I haven't done previously.

I received an email from Ticket Co acknowledging my purchase, but I have no idea how to view / download the programme. Any ideas?

Altrincham FC First Team / Ground development
« on: April 21, 2020, 12:40:37 PM »
There are a couple of architect’s images of the proposed 10-year stadium development on the club’s Facebook page. It looks like there will be a roof covering all 4 sides of the ground, with terracing at the Golf Road and Chequers end, and seating along the other two sides.

Altrincham FC First Team / Alty TV - Abbey Hey
« on: September 08, 2017, 02:16:06 AM »
Just wondering if the Alty TV team were on duty for the Abbey Hey replay on Tuesday night?

Brisbane Alty (formerly Sydney Alty!)

Altrincham FC First Team / Alty TV
« on: September 08, 2015, 01:20:00 AM »
Apologies for starting a new thread, but for some reason I can't post to the existing "Alty TV - Highlights Vs Cheltenham" one.

I just wanted to thank Mark for all of the effort that he puts in to Alty TV, and appeal to all exiled fans who watch it. Please give what you can to help get it back online - we get a free service that is surely the best in non-league football, so why not donate what you would have paid to watch two matches at Moss Lane. That's a great deal for anyone who can't attend matches in person.

Here's the link to the donation page: http://www.gofundme.com/z5nbeah9

Repeated at 5.30pm Friday.

Superb!

Altrincham FC First Team / Brett Lee
« on: June 09, 2011, 07:18:42 AM »
Although I am unimpressed by celebrity, I thought I would mention that I visited our local Bunnings store today (Australian equivalent of B&Q) and was joined in the queue at the checkout by Brett Lee. I told him that I had seen his signed photo on the wall of the bar at Moss Lane. He actually knew what I was talking about!

Altrincham FC First Team / Famous Referees at Moss Lane
« on: June 09, 2011, 07:16:12 AM »
I was reading one of Cult's splendid "When We Were Kings" articles today, which mentioned the 1980 APL game against Yeovil being refereed by Keith Hackett, and the game against Worcester five days later being officiated by Pat Partridge.

So, three questions come to mind:

1. When was the last time a top-flight referee officiated at Moss Lane?
2. Why were Messrs Hackett and Partridge refereeing those games? Was it because they had been absolutely bobbins in Division 1 the previous week and were demoted as punishment?
3. I'm fairly sure I remember George Courtney refereeing at Moss Lane in about 1980 or 81. Can anyone confirm this? All I remember is that the game itself was fairly poor and that Mr Courtney would not have been impressed.

Altrincham FC First Team / Altrincham at World Cup
« on: June 25, 2010, 12:15:25 AM »
My Wellington-based colleague reliably informs me that Ryan Nelsen, the New Zealand captain, lives in Altrincham. Which led me to wonder if there are any other Altrincham-based players at the World Cup?
