I'm sure someone Internet savvy will be able to facilitate?
I'm afraid I'm still clockwork.

The letter is from the legendary Phil Jordan, alias 'One Foot In The Grave' on this forum.

I'm unable to locate it online at present but it relates to Alty's FA Cup exit this season at the hands of Gateshead and some recollections of the Robins playing against South Shields in the old Northern Premier League era.

It was actually a response to a letter from a Gateshead fan the previous week, in which I politely disagreed with his assertion that there was a "great atmosphere" at the International Stadium. Unfortunately they edited that bit out, and the letter is now rather pointless !

I wrote a letter to the Sunday Pink in the 00's complaining about Dave Pace's conduct. It got severly edited in such a way that it appeared to be criticising our club.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story 😂
