Here's an idea I've just come up with, it's a bit weird, so feel free to tell me if it's stupid/unworkable, but here goes.

Every game a group of us donate some money to this, can be a small amount like a pound. Then we pool all the money and bet it all on Alty losing. If Alty do lose, then we donate all the money to the club.

This would mean that every game we play, the club either gets points, or a small amount of money, meaning we will always have a small positive, after every game. If we are repeatedly losing, then the management team have a little more money to help bring in reinforcements.

Of course this would rely on fans taking money out of their own pocket, like the bucket collection.

Just an idea, feel free to shoot me down in flames if I overlooked something obvious.

I know that present day Graham Heathcote would have looked comfortable in tonight's midfield and probably scored a hat trick but Momo Coly didn't seem a half bad player, looked strong physically.

Think he would perhaps be worth a sub appearance or two.

Any red & white striped football shirt, no matter how obscure/old.

So if you have any old Alty, Witton, Stoke, Sunderland, Hayes, Sheffield or just ANY teams's shirts lying around then I will buy them

Cheers

Mansfield 103.2 seem to be broadcasting the game but can't get their "listen live" link to work? Anyone got it on?

Peterborough United defender Carl Piergianni has joined Altrincham FC on open-ended work experience, and will available for tomorrow's game against Wrexham. He will have squad no. 26. The official Peterborough United website says that "Carl Piergianni came through the youth ranks at London Road and was awarded a professional contract by manager Gary Johnson following discussions with the youth department. Piergianni is dominant in the air, tenacious in the tackle and another that puts his body on the line for the cause. A local lad, he is expected to gain experience on loan this season." With 1 substitute appearance in League One this season, Carl has playing regularly for Peterborough Reserves this season and last and scored in their 3-0 win over Luton Town reserves in November last year.

have juggled the Yankee collections so that I can tomorrow, but don't have any way of getting there. If anoyone could please offer me a lift I could be picked up from any met stop or the ground or just anywhere in the Altrincham/Timperley/Sale area?  I really want to go and support the team.

If anyone can offer me a lift then please PM me ASAP  

Cheers

Right, I know it's been brought up before but with a change of managers I just thought I'd do the topic again, especially as Ken has been making a few hints towards it

I don't know all the circumstances about what happened to our last reserve team, wasn't there a problem with the league? Even if we were in a poor standard of local league I think it'd still be worth it. And if not then what happened to playing occasional friendlies?

I think we could really do with a reserve team personally, even if they aren't in a formal league. Not only for developing youth but this season how good would it be if Twiss, Hewson ect had 4 or 5 more games under their belts? I also think it's a bit of a waste of our youth team, it seems to turn up some decent talent that could possibly be good standard players, Bennett, Gamble from pre-season, Woods who played in the CSC this year. What do you lot all think?

Hopefully we won't have anywhere near as many postponements as we ddi last year.

Have Man U bought us frost covers this year or did I just imagine it?

Don't think I can cope if the weather's as bad as last year.
