Just seen BBC video with Alty fan and volunteer Erin...……..was looking for cricket scores, but somehow landed in this. Quite a decent piece and good publicity.

That is a wonderful article. Erin, mum and grandfather should be very proud.
The bit that struck home to me was when Erin spoke of nerves, overcoming those feelings and now waiting to interview managers. As a middle aged bloke living with a bag of nerves and anxieties I can only admire her and use Erin and her approach as a way to make progress myself.
Thank you for posting.

Agreed

Sadly though Erin has been trolled, not only by those who don't believe Women belong in football but also by an Alty Fan and regular contributor to this site who think she's getting too much undeserved credit and that there are other fans much more deserving of the attention

If a regular contributor to this site has a problem with women and football going together then I wouldn’t imagine they are a very enlightened or intelligent life form. WSL games feature some high quality players. It’s 2022 for goodness sake! Man up.

I think that's disappointing. Disgraceful actually.
It's unworthy and insulting to her, the Club and to all of us.
The person who made the comments needs to seriously give their head a wobble and seriously get a grip. This is the 21st century. Have a word with yourself.

What a pathetic specimen.

Name and shame
-
I don't think it's appropriate to name the person.
He may have read this and be reconsidering his view (I doubt it but you never know)
He might even post an apology (although I've never known him apologise for anything before)
-
Could'nt agree more with all the comments here . Can't be having with people who troll against anyone , let alone a brilliant youngster that Erin absolutely is . Carry on what your'e doing Erin , you're a gem and a credit to EVERYONE at Alty . Here's to the next Alex Scott 👏🤞

Could you at least tell us where you've seen these comments? I've not read anything but support and admiration from Alty fans for her.

I don't suppose the miserable git concerned would remotely consider doing things that Erin takes on board, such as forking the pitch at half time when it's absolutely peeing down. No, I thought not.
Ignore the trolls Erin, we all respect you.

Should really name a shame the right individual before random names start being thrown out there

PLUS ONE 👍

Really disappointing by whoever you are. What ever your views why do you troll such an inspirational hard working person, does it make anyone (maybe you) happy ?. Please try to keep your evil vitriol in your own head :-X (or see you physiatrist more often).
Up the Robins, and well done Erin you're an inspiration.
-
It's very unfortunate that this thread has become more about an alleged troll/trolls than the brilliant person it was actually intended for. This should be an opportunity to give Erin the congratulations she very much deserves for her efforts.
Well done, Erin, you should be extremely proud!
-
Absolutely right
I'm sorry if my comment changed the direction of the thread a bit.
I was hoping that, if nothing else, the individual concerned would at least not post any more crap about Erin

+2 The world is hard enough fighting for our own team when some spanner tries to devalue what a amazing FAN Erin is, you should hang your sad lonely head to shame you pathetic excuse for a Alty fan. That girl has achieved more in the space of 1 year than 95% of us will in a life time of supporting the club
-
For the record, it wasn't me ;D
Super proud of Erin, both for pushing the women's game forward, but also for pushing Altrincham name too.
I'd like to see who work Mr Flynn and Mr Flynn on some first team content too, might even get a smile out of Mr Pringle.

I was going to say as an avid Twitter user the odd comment I saw but you get that pretty much every time a woman talks about football on the internet sadly. Most comments positive though and I certainly didn’t see anything from any Alty fans I know of.
-
I love watching Lacie play football for Alty Girls Juniors. Our squad, the Black Kites are a fabulous group of girls, all keen to do well. I am so sorry if Erin has had negative comments. Think she may be the victim of someone unconnected with our club, all our fans are supportive and interested in how ALL our teams, adults and children alike. Since Lacie started playing, it has raised even more interest from me in girls football. They have the same keeness and desire to do well as the 1st team have. The girls are avid supporters of the 1st team too, they look up to both the adult girls team and the 1st team. They play for us because they are proud to represent the team.

You’re just talking good sense Steve. Anyone who doesn’t agree with your sentiments are living back in the dark ages. Unfortunately there are individuals who spend their lives in a misguided existence.

You mean supporting M*cc or V*cs? 😂😂

There are no words for this...that I can repeat on here, anyway.

It is upsetting ATS, but has to be highlighted in the hope the mindless troll might be shamed.
Erin does a wonderful job for the club, not least highlighting our "welcome to all," and, as Steve highlights, our junior girls are a true credit to the club.
-
Who was it ATS?
Lots of anger here yet nothing actually shown?
Countless accusation
-
One of our girls teams, I think the Under 15's last season, won best side nationally. In the boys section, an Under 15's team won the County Cup. Both are great feats. Do correct me if I am wrong, though.
I am especially proud of my younger foster daughter, winning Club Sports-Girls of the year for the 21/22 season, out of 360 girls. This is because she used the club's opportunities it offered, to turn her life around. Both as a supporter and also as a player. This girl has never been happier, thanks to our football club.
Believe me, there is much to be positive about. Not least that Altrincham Juniors won Grass Roots Club of the Year for 2022.
So the Troller can get his or her ears (or It's) round all the above. Chin up Erin. hold your head up high.

Hi all,
I must admit i have not posted on here for a while as i have been concentrating on recovering from heart surgery & also been focusing on my own twitter BUT this has made me really mad...
Now, firstly i have not seen any of what has been apparently posted & am going solely on the above BUT if true it is disgraceful...
I was only singing Erin's praises earlier, but reading things like this makes me angry...
Erin is a young fan and the future of our club... she has had lots to deal with herself & still been able to focus on promoting all things Alty & this includes the Ladies team & womens football in general... she has also recently enjoyed supporting & promoting England's Lionesses in the present Euros tournament (which we could win).
Despite her age, she has a goal of achieving further media aspirations in the journalism side of football (& hopefully with Alty)... she has a great twitter account, been involved in various podcasts, writes articles in the matchday programme, interviewed Alty mgmt & players/staff, today helped with Alty TV commentary, plus still finds time to play football for a team & help groundstaff via forking the pitch at H/T etc... she also won a social media award for her twitter account & was recognised as Alty's Fan of the Year last season... PLUS as start of this topic mentioned she was highlighted on BBC in a Euros game at H/T promoting the club we love...
I could say far far more, but you get the drift... in short Erin is amazing at championing all things Alty both mens, womens, youths, juniors etc as well as womens football in general...
She is a true football fan, living & chasing her dreams!
Erin is the future and i personally see only great things ahead for her...
We need to be celebrating people like Erin & be happy that she is doing all she can to promote the club we all love!
Anyway, i guess i have had my rant... i hate 'trolls' & people trying to knock someone down for doing something they love... if you really support Alty then you support the WHOLE Alty family... womens football will continue to grow & everyone should embrace that fact and support those fans at the forefront of this drive (and all things Alty in general)!
Yes, people are entitled to their own views, but seriously, this is the 21st century but some still need to come out of the dark ages!
To close, i simply say... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ERIN!
-
Brilliant post Inter Alty and really sums up both Erin's amazing personality and unswerving dedication to all things Alty . Full respect to her wonderful family too who have supported her with equal passion . It's an inspirational story of Erin's journey , i really hope with all our support we can in some way give her even more confidence to help her on her way .

"Growing up as a young carer"
Says it all - one of the toughest jobs going and scandalously undervalued, but she's done it and done it well, as well as being a talented artist and interviewer of managers and all the rest of it. She's done things I can only dream of, and at such a young age. This club owes her a lot.
-
You mean supporting M*cc or V*cs? 😂😂
Such poor unfortunates but clearly beyond help. 😱😱

My Jennifer is one: lots I couldn't do without her.

Hope Erin enjoyed yesterday.

I really don't see why the culprit should remain unidentified.

I don't know Erin personally but I've seen her at games since she was quite small running around on the pop side going to games with her grandad (who I think used to be our postman). She's on the road for a career in broadcasting at this rate. Natalie Quirke started out a very similar way doing media work as a youngster for Belle Vue speedway and ended up presenting National League coverage on BT Sport.
-
The originator of this issue who assured us that she had evidence via screen prints of the comments has failed / declined to provide same.
I apologise for any ongoing issues relating to this, whilst still believing that it occurred.
This is why I declined to identify the suggested culprit, whom I believe knows who they are and, I hope are suitably contrite

Yes I'm sure we all hope that the culprit in this particular affair is suitably contrite and will now keep their trap firmly shut. I wouldn't bet on it though.
-
Yes I think they got firmly told after all this time ...🙄
-
Guess the evidence of this has been brushed under the carpet, like the last incident ATS was involved in
-
If it has been brushed under the carpet it's not by my choice I can assure you
-
Was it one of the Birch brothers?
-
I wonder if we can drag this thread out to the opening of the fan zone in 2023
-
I feel sure we could if that's what you really want
-
I don't think we can it seems to be fizzing out ....
-
It’s come back to life!

OK, I'll be the straight man ... "oh no it's not!..."

Very quiet this thread now
-
Stoppit!

Sorry 🙏

Today Erin secured a video message from Jill Scott, wishing Altrincham WFC a good season
-
Very nice of her, the Black Kites were delighted to meet her after one of our games.
-
Love it

That is fantastic. Jill is a great in the women's game and has been my favourite for a few years.
We are quite a local club to her, would be great if ever she got involved.
