Right. To begin with Halifax Town have not cheated!!!!
We have taken a 10 point deduction for going into administration. We all know the clubs financial situation is a mess and that Altrinham have quite secure funds. However people on this board have said that Halifax have broken the rules of the league. This is UNTRUE. If somebody on this board can prove which rules we have broken please state them. (because as me and many other Halifax fans would love to know?
)
Halifax fans know we are in a sorry state right now. We also agree with your claims that offering 2.5p in the pound is criminal but it is not cheating. Despite our financial state we have always played and worked under the regulations of the league. Unlike teams like Leeds and in our league crawley.
Unfortunately although you are in a good financial situation it is on the field work which matters. You unfortunately didn't manage to stay up. We did (im not trying to patronise here) and this is why we should stay up. The finances don't look good but then again you can name dozens of clubs in the same predicament as us. As I know so far 50% of the creditors have agreed to 2.5p in the pound and only another 15% are needed to fllow it through.
Altrincham fans, I would like to say that I feel very sorry for you. You have turned the corner and are now in a strong financial situation. Making £70,000 pounds this year is some achievement. We can't manage that as you can tell. However I think your decline was that you didn't invest anything and also the fact your part time. I hav to admit for a part time team you were outstanding. I hope Halifax stay up this year but if you go down I hope you that you immediately return to the league. I enjoy my trips to altrincham and hope you keep chrissy Senior (he is a legend)
