Will be looking forward to another season in the Conference North as FC Halifax Town overcome Salford in their play off semi final. As a true aficionado of value for money grassroots football I'm sure he's really looking forward to it.
-
Have to fancy Salford to do a Fylde next season and win it.As for Chorley they have done very well and not bankrolled .
-
I noticed Forest Green beat Dagenham today.....
I really hope Tranmere bury them at Wembley

Living proof that money helps but it's not the only requirement for success

Whereas you will be looking forward to pub football against miners welfare teams. I expect Gary will be very happy with that choice. Are you happy with yours? 🤣🤣🤣
As for value for money, £7 to get in at Salford this season was quite good value for my money, thank you.
Enjoy!

Go and post on their message board then.

The only club that overspent in NLN this season finished top by some margin, so your proof is somewhat lacking.
Are you suggesting you don't want any investment in Alty next season then, if money in football is a dirty word?
Also, has it ever crossed the minds of any Alty fans that as all the Class of 92 live much nearer Moss Lane than Moor Lane, if Rowley didn't want to run a Pub Club, he may well have been able to attract them to invest in Alty rather than Salford, a few years back? You might have been in much less of a mess than is the case now. A long shot maybe, but now we will never know.

I do, but it's not a patch on the Alty forum, you guys should be very proud of this website. 🙂
The considered views, deep knowledge and strength of feeling on here is second to none.

One assumes that the Class of 92 will be placing special emphasis on spot kicks in Salford''s pre season training. How any team can lose a shootout 3-0 is beyond me. I notice Jordan Sinnott didn't miss his.
-
Is a T**t.
-
Not sure how true it is but didnt the class of 92 want to take over at Bury ?

no my point was that money helps .. ie I would love loads of money please ... but it's not the only requirement of success.. ie you need the right leadership and direction as well .

Geography obviously isn't your strong point...
Gary Neville lives in Bury
Paul Scholes lives in Oldham
Ryan Giggs lives in Worsley
All closer to Moor Lane than Moss Lane!!
Anyway enjoy watching the money men again next season,I bet you never dreamt of what was to come when you were one of the 82 that watched Salford at home to Atherton Collierys 3 years ago,or were you....

Bankrolled club in "cheap tickets" shocker. Tell us another one, Brains!

Aha! Perfectly snared my friend. I have no objection whatsoever to several multi millionaire ex footballers and their mult multi millionaire Far East backer embarking on a vanity project utilising a local non league club as their vehicle of choice. I do object to GN suggesting, as you yourself again have repeated, that their business model has hit upon some hitherto unrecognised economic alchemy which has escaped other sides in Greater Manchester. Given the colossal sums of cash being poured into Moor Lane I struggle to understand why they have to charge £7, why not £1, or make it free? As has been pointed out to Mr N, his burgers at Cafe Football are much more expensive than those off the van outside OT on matchdays, perhaps he should take advice from those lads on how to run his businesses?

Moston Utd only charge £9 to get in and they are making a loss every season.
As the unofficial Halifax twitter said it has spoiled the fairytale end of a cringeworthy documentary.
-
Sorry, correction, the Class of 92 did live nearer Moss Lane than Moor Lane, as you rightly point out they have all moved out. Wonder why? ;)
Totally agree, the documentary is cringe worthy. The last one focused more on a bench warmers cheese shop than anything else, so can't really see the point of it. It feels like a mikey take to me. Probably more interesting than an Alty documentary though, Rowley's sponsored walk would have been gripping!
Also agree about leadership and penalties, I think Salford's Glue League managers, Bernard and Jonno have gone as far as they can and need replacing with an ex-league manager.
Glad to see Jordan is doing well too.
I have to smile about Gary though... He is the one who everyone hates, away fans always sing about his masturbation habits. The only other one who gets any stick is Ryan, for obvious reasons.
The others get off Scott free.
-
Nicky Butt lived on broad lane and Phil Neville lived on hill top, but had no connection/affinity to Altrincham or south Manchester other than its better than the rest of the urban sprawl. You already came on here once and announced your departure, not sure why as it's not an airport. Yet you've come back again.
-
And there's me calling this a great forum!...
As I have a passing interest in Alty (after supporting them for a number of years) and have attended a few games this season, I don't see why I shouldn't post, if I feel like it.
I'm not the one that ruined your club and made people like me go elsewhere. He's still in charge.

As Fife has pointed out Butt and P Neville lived in Hale but the three players I mentioned have never lived nearer Moss Lane than Moor Lane. Anyway enjoy club hopping to whoever is at the right end of the table.
-
I was quite happy to support Alty at the wrong end of the Conference, and still would be if things had been different, shame really...
Hope Parkinson sorts you out and the mystery investor comes good.

the last sentence is spot on whatever I think of anything else he's said
-
Hopefully find out about this investment later this week
-
We got hundred grand for Watmore so it will have to be some investment for Rowley not to piss it up the wall

I don't believe you.
-
That's your prerogative. :)
Tell you what I don't believe, that Rowley will step down. He's playing you all...

anybody putting serious money in will want control of where it goes (to one degree or another). Any serious businessperson should also recognise a poor leader and decision maker such as Mr. Rowley. I beleivie that shoul the investment happen we will get double bubble with a new chair too.

I stopped holding my breath months ago. And it'll take a lot more than a begging letter from Shaun Densmore to get me to renew my season ticket.
If anyone's bored enough, have a look at the list of renewed patrons that appeared on the club site last week. Remove anybody whose surname includes the word "Rowley". Example : Chloe Rowley-Jones (is she legally able to win the monthly draw ?). Then remove anyone who's obviously a board member or their wife. Plus anyone representing the club in an official capacity (John Skelhorn, the Laidlars).
Now see if you can count the rest without running out of fingers.....

To be fair at least they've all dipped in their pocket for £50, its not bad to start the ball rolling.
Whilst I agree that they are a shower of poo on the ownership and leadership front you cant really fault them for effort on the charitable front.
We just need a bit more of a polished professional approach to running a football club than what they are capable of providing.
Hopefully the new investment is not just money but personnel and experience, thats whats really crucial. Plenty of teams punching well above our weight on the same financial level or less.
