Altrincham FC chairman, Grahame Rowley announces on behalf of the Mark Maddox Testimonial Committee that "As part of Maddog's (Mark Maddox's) Testimonial game on July 23rd (against Tranmere Rovers) we have very kindly been offered two fantastic prizes by Rod Thornley, who unfortunately can't be present on the day due to being in the USA with Manchester United.
He has offered a Wayne Rooney shirt signed by all the team and a John Terry England shirt signed by all the team. So that everyone has an opportunity to win a prize we are changing the format of the bidding.

If anyone is interested in winning one of the shirts you are asked to put your name on a £10 note and every note will be entered into a draw at the end of the night when the winner will have the choice of which shirt he would like. The other shirt will be used at a Sportsman's Dinner planned for September 23rd again with all proceeds going to Mark.

If you can't be present on July 23rd for the Tranmere game but would like to be entered in the raffle/auction for the signed shirt please either send in or bring in your £10 note to the club with your name on (marked for the attention of Karen Rowley), and it will be entered into the draw on the night. Where else would you get the opportunity to own a signed Wayne Rooney shirt or a John Terry shirt for just a tenner?!!!!

Many thanks to Rod Thornley for this very generous donation - very much appreciated."

Went for a job interview today and got on to talking about football and of course Altrincham FC. The interviewer came out with "Oh they were relegated weren't they from the GM Vauxhall Conference" ....

How can someone have knowledge of our relegation but not realise the league has moved on a bit since then ? I didn't say anything as awaiting the response to the interview )

The best bit was the interview was for a job at FORD !!!!

The Radio Robins button should now be working on the forum.

Please can Flynny or anyone involved in setting up the radio station please let me know if they want anything adding to the message,  I wasn't sure what to put.

Thanks

I am prob slow on the uptake here but watching Manchester City yesterday I noticed that he is a masseur at Manchester City as was mentioned in commentary, as well as England.

So thats Rod at MU and Mark at MC and both with England. Not a bad stepping stone are we 

On the subject of Sertori , one of the hardest men I have ever seen in an Alty shirt (and there have been a few)

Some nice ..



Some random

Yes I know its a forum, and yes I give my opinions (usually extreme) as do others but when I read it I thought it was a bit close to the bone, and this was backed up by others (some who asked for it to be deleted)I have decided to remove the post.

Sorry for those that contributed to it in a sensible manner.

I expect a barrage of abuse now but I have to cover other people (inc myself) and although its the contributors views it can still be the administrators who get questioned as to why it was allowed to be on.

I would suggest people are directed to the thread "le sulk " ( http://www.altyfans.co.uk/index.php?topic=11882.0 )as it basically sums up the deleted thread, and no use havin a loads of threads on the same subject. Take note of the excellent post by Ecky. That is where I think the topic 'Le Sulk' and the one deleted differs.

Always enjoy the match reports, esp for comments like this :

Referee Johnson had to break up the inordinately long pre-match bonding huddle by Tamworth before this game could start. But despite the host's apparent fondness for each other their game was to be riddled with passes to the opposition, as if they were strangers
