Update on Setting Up Internet Match Commentaries for Altrincham F.C. You may be aware that we are in the process of trying to set up an Internet Commentary Service for Altrincham matches & this is an update on the current situation.Following an appeal made in the programme & on this website, a number of people have, pleasingly, kindly offered to help to try to get this service up & running.
Within the last few days, Paul Burton, who has been an Altrincham fan since 1976, has managed to set up some software that will operate a radio station that has the capability of handling up to 1000 listeners.It is hoped that we can use this radio station as the platform to provide a match commentary service.
The first thing that we need to do is test that the service is generally accessible & we would like all Alty fans, with access to the internet, to help us out here, by trying to access the radio station & feeding back whether it works or not.
When you access the station, we have a nostalgic treat for you, as we are broadcasting a recording of Radio Manchester's Sportsline programme from April 1st 1978.The programme is hosted by Ian Frame & his studio guests are Noel White & Tony Sanders, who were Chairman & Manager respectively at that time.The programme takes place within a couple of hours of our home F.A. Trophy Semi-Final First Leg game against Runcorn, which ended 0-0.
Whether you have just started supporting Altrincham very recently.....or like Stan Riley, have been a fan since the 1940's, I am sure that you.......for a number of reasons....... will find this compelling listening!
The recording will play in a continuous loop until Sunday & should be accessible from around 9.00am-10.00pm each day.You may also find that between repeated plays of the broadcast, there are a few musical tracks from The Harbingers, who have a number of Alty fans amongst their group members!
We would like people, who try to access the station, to let us know how they got on, by posting a message on the thread on the Fans' Forum entitled "Radio Robins!!" Alternatively, please send me a personal message via the Forum or email me at brianflynn59@hotmail.com.
All you need now is the link.......which is below:-

This is the first stage of the testing process & I will be in touch later this week to advise you of the next stage......where we will be hoping you can help us out again!
