Quote from the Official Site:

"Altrincham fans will be just as distressed about the the threatened seven-point deduction for Accrington Stanley in League Two for failing to register two players properly as the Lancashire club were about our club's misfortune when we had 18 points deducted after Stanley had failed to get international clearance for James Robinson before allowing him to join us last season."

I just love the tone of this ironic item! I wish I could give the author a dollop of Goodwins for that!!  :D :D :D :D

Yes, that's true.
That being the case it means that our proportion was even higher - which makes predictions for Tuesday of 700ish pretty gloomy.

I think something which would suit all parties could be something in his contract with a club he signs for which gives us a proportion of any sell-on fee his then-club receive.
But I'm not sure that this could be done?

We should get him on a contract pronto!

Somebody on a previous thread said around 300 in the 20/20 and 50 in the stand but that seemed a bit short of the mark to me. (I'm pretty sure that was a guesstimate rather than the official figure.)
I would have guessed at around 450-500 altogether from Oxford which still gives a healthy 950-1000 figure for our fans.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Mick Woodward should be given the red carpet treatment on Tuesday....

110% agree with this.
Couldn't we give him a standing ovation at the start of the match (before, unfortunately, we take the three much-needed points).

If there're one other team apart from us I would hate to see relegated its Grays.

Altrincham FC First Team / Crowd for Tuesday ...

After the big turn-out on Saturday, a great response and a show of support for the lads would be a four-figure crowd against Grays.
Let's see if we can make it so that we can roar the lads home in this absolutely vital game for us all.

Come on the Robins!

Average over the 1150 mark again!
That's excellent.

1132 not  1148 apologies

Ta - have a goodwin!

Another point which needs to be made too is that our current gates mean that we're exceeding our break-even figure - as shown by the modest profit over the year we've made to date (£9k ish?)

I'm sure that there are a great many clubs whose attendances fall far short of their break even figures!
In many ways this is more important than the actual attendances comparison

Come on the Robins!

Didn't make it to Oxfor so the last time I saw Jim Smith was when he was player/manager of Boston United donkeys years ago.
Got a feeling he's going to wish he'd played himself tomorrow as the mighty robins roar home 2-1 (Colin 2, Yemi OCorblimey1)

Altrincham FC First Team / What's happening at Halifax? ...
« on: March 16, 2007, 02:25:15 PM »
Just been reading about their Chairman resigning. What's going on over there?
I certainly hope they're not in serious trouble - we need all the northern clubs we can get in this league.

(Apart from anything else, where are we going to get any more players from  ::) ::) :D )

Any one know anything?

Looking at current average attendances we are not doing too bad at all.

We're doing bloody fantastic - long may it continue!

Also - Yemi wotsisname to spend the whole game diving, bringing back memories of the Eastbourne playoff final.

I'm sure he should be called Yemi Oh You Baby! (Hope this doesn't come back to haunt me!) Having said that, I wouldn't begrudge hime a late consolation in the last minute of injury time if we were already 2-0 up at the time.

It really would be fantastic to get another crowd over the 2k mark.
I know it's not going to happen but, according to my calculations, a crowd of 2346 would take our average gate to the 1200 mark for the season! How fantastic would that be?
When was the last time we approached anything like that average? (ans: 1990/1)

Realistically, I think it will be round the 1500 mark
