Seconded, that's a fantastic idea!  And much better than the CSC

[Stockportalty]

Like someone else has said, I can't believe how it makes me feel that all this is happening to Vics. It just shows how money is ruling football these days and not love of the game. I agree that we should do something.
Trust Mr. Connett to ruin Christmas for all us footie fans, bah humbug!!

[Ballers]

Is this a wind up?

[Alty Dave]

No they are in serious financial problems Ballers.

WE (and there is no we in team) need EVERY penny we can to survive nhey have foolishly believed in some dream and bent or broke league rules if it had worked they would have called us fools for sticking to the rules. they can enjoy their derby against runcorn as far as i am concerned

For me its not that i secretly like vics and i hate the thought of them going bump.

The reality is that a lot of young Altrincham fans have no idea about our rivalry with other cheshire clubs, or at least they didn't until last boxing day, one of my favourite days ever as an Alty fan!!

There was a time when vics, macc, runcorn and even at a push witton and stalyvegas came knocking and it was a big thing to play them. The passion you feel when we score against macc or vics, for me, is one of the most amazing natural highs you will ever feel. Ive never been so emotionally charged as when Dean Pritchard scored a screamer on an icy night in macc.

The thought that this will be taken away from us again because of some horrible idiot with no clue about real football passion makes me sick to the core! I have to say though, fundraising is pointless for them. Once they go, theyve gone for a good few years. Alty is where the money needs to be kept.

[Alty365]

I miss the days when we used to play all those local rivals on a regular basis.

Macc, Northwich, Stalybridge, Witton, Runcorn - those were the best days and I miss the rivalries a lot. There is such a southern tilt to things now and it just isn't the same.

[alty.fc]

If we fundraise for them what would they buy with the money? Magic beans?

[malcolm]

Someone wrote earlier that a friendly on Boxing day between Altrincham and a Northwich team made up of iold players, guests current unemployed players etc with the money split 50/50. Meaning altrincham dont lose the finacial loss of a boxing day game and the Vics usefull money towards the formation of a new club.

Connett should be banned from being a director of any company, from what I've seen here and elsewhere he is a clueless businessman, either that or a not very clever asset stripper.

Talking of rivalries I imagine our younger fans will be oblivious that Wigan Athletic were once one of our biggest rivals!

He's doing well for a clueless businessman. I'd say he's a very clever asset stripper.

He may get upwards of £2m for land he paid recievers £250k for.
