Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Birmingham 1, Alty 2 article
« on: January 07, 2023, 02:02:15 AM »Good read that.
It has been ranked 4th most improbable FA cup win by the latest set of boffins who look at these things:

...and you can't beat a good boffin'

« on: January 07, 2023, 02:00:33 AM »Some brilliant names appear in the Scottish Cup every year , my favourites include Forres Mechanics , Bonnyrigg Rose , Auchinleck Talbot , Civil Service Strollers , Burntisland Shipyard and the wonderful Gala Fairydean 😃
If you think Rangers v Celtic is a serious rivalry, try Auchinleck v Cumnock: towns that are very close neighbours and they have to get police from Glasgow to control the crowds.
Strange how Scotland has team names that don't match their home towns: St Johnstone at Perth, while next to the town of Johnstone we have St Mirren at Paisley. Then Queen of the South at Dumfries and Heart of Midlothian in Edinburgh, where, on the Royal Mile, there is a heart in the road wich is THE heart of Midlothian.

« on: January 07, 2023, 01:54:37 AM »There's a young chap (Billingsley?) scoring a few goals at youth and reserve level.Yes, it is Lewis Billingsley, who has been very prolific at that level.
Anyone got any info on him?
He has recently gone on loan to Ashton Athletic in the North West Counties Premier, where he scored two goals on his debut. He certainly looks like he might be one for the future, but I imagine he will go on loan somewhere higher again as the next step.
Thank you

On the chatroom we were thinking Pringle and Hulme: we got Jackson and Dinanga!

Like Ali, Pele was one of the rare sportsmen who transcended national boundaries: a hero for all nations.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Duncan Watmore
« on: December 18, 2022, 11:55:20 PM »Scored earlier than usual. Is he starting games now? Or have Boro got players out injured? How much was his sell-on clause worth again (if it had been triggered)? And could he really have played for the full England team without the injury setbacks?
He did a decent job at U21 level and I think he had a chance for full honours.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Rumours re Solihull Moors
« on: December 18, 2022, 11:53:01 PM »If Sale & Salford City get their way at Barton, Salford Red Devils will end up at Moor Lane, tiny tiny stadium. Does anyone remember Trafford Borough at Alty ?
IIRC, for whatever reason, Blackpool Borough moved to Trafford, but it was quite short lived.
Anyone remember how the pitch coped with it?

Didn't realise it was a plastic pitch, so very understandable!
