We welcomed a Norwegian as a guest at Saturday's game against Colwyn Bay.............he met quite a few Alty fans......his name is Morten Bredal-Thorsen & he is goalkeeper who plays for Tromsdalen, who have just won the Norwegian League Second Division & will be playing in Division One from April.....that is the equivalent of the Championship here.
Morten is currently on trial at Stockport County.
Also, I sent an Alty shirt to a Brann Bergen fan in the summer after going to Norway on holiday....seeing two games (Sogndal 0 Fredrikstad 1 & Brann Bergen 2 ODD Grenland 0).At the second game this chap, Jan Morten Igland gave me his Brann Bergen shirt, which he was wearing for only the second time, if I promised to send him an Alty shirt......what a guy!
We're on a bit of an arctic roll here!
