Altrincham FC First Team / Spot the contradiction.....
« on: June 04, 2007, 03:24:25 PM »
From the Manchester Metro News article:
Alty chairman Geoff Goodwin says of the Altrincham board, "We do it for the love. We haven't got a lot of money and until someone with a lot of money comes in, Conference National is a dream. You're living in dreamland if you think you can survive in that league on a part-time basis."
Manager Graham Heathcote agreed; "It is a difficult league for part-time clubs financially and physically but you have to aim to get out of the league you are in. We have to aim to be in the Conference National and, once in, see how far up we can progress as a part-time team."
Who at the back of the class whispered "Stafford"?

Can anyone actually prove that Colin Potts has ever been technically "fit"?
I mean, even when he was at his peak for us, he always seemed to be carrying a few surplus pounds.

Altrincham FC First Team / Four page special article on Alty in today's Non League Paper
« on: June 03, 2007, 12:09:49 PM »
Tony Williams has penned an article on Alty's Alliance/Conference highlights and FA Cup/Trophy history.
Plenty of photographs of Alty at Anfield and playing against the likes of Tottenham, Orient and so forth.
Well worth investing in a copy.
If any Alty exiles are struggling to locate a copy of this issue, let me know and I'll see if I can accumulate some extra copies from local sources.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Darren Tinson Signs
« on: June 02, 2007, 01:55:15 PM »I can't see us conceding very many goals next season, so got to be in with a chance now.
So, why can't you see us conceding many goals next season?
For a start, we haven't got a decent right full back or a left full back!
Tinson may be an experienced and capable central defender...but he can't cover both wings as well....

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Good News..A New Director
« on: May 31, 2007, 08:42:53 PM »This is fantastic! Most league clubs would kill to have someone with this experience as an officical within the club. It just goes to show how easily Alty impresses on people!
Ah, but can he play at left full back as well, though?

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Steve Burr leaves Vics
« on: May 31, 2007, 04:01:40 PM »No, he has won round one by making him resign. Its still going to court though.
I just hope the rumours are right about Kevin Tully becoming the next Vics manager!
I have also heard some rumours that a certain Bernard Taylor has done some scouting for the Vics.
Surely not?!

The Casdon soccer game was indeed a treat.
I was presented with the 'Bobby Charlton' edition circa 1970 and it whiled away many hours, especially when the ball got perilously trapped behind your goalkeeper.
A friend possessed the Big League football game, which was similar to Striker but involved pulling back the player's leg to kick the ball rather than pressing his head.
Oh, and don't get me started on blow football grudge matches against visiting relatives at Christmas....

Hyde United at 20/1 could be worth a wager.
Also, Stalybridge at the same price if Burr does assume control there and imports most of last season's Northwich squad.
Frankly, 6/1 for us is sheer nonsense if you study the squad we have at present.

Surely these can't hold a candle to that marvellous football game: Striker?
Hours of fun pressing the players' heads and craftily kicking the ball behind the sofa when you were 1-0 up with only five minutes left to play...

I firmly suspect that I am in the minority here....but I have to say that the attraction of watching England play in a Friendly International (no matter who the opposition are) escapes me completely!
