Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Wrexham Match Thread

« on: July 26, 2017, 10:29:13 AM »

I think this squad is good enough to get us up. Possibly good enough to compete in National North.

Over the next 18 months we will still need to strengthen to have any chance of survival in National Premier, where most teams will present a similar challenge to Wrexham.

I agree....although I found stockport fans a humble lot baffled by their demise yet not really playing the billy big bollox.

And some surprisingly lovely set ups at kidsgrove and rhyl...hardly pub pitches....

When I worked in Stockport twenty years ago the County fans there took a very billy big bollocks attitude to my supporting Altrincham. I only drew any grudging respect because I watched them home and away and had a season ticket.

I work in Stockport now, where my boss is a Hereford supporter, but get nothing like that. Maybe I work with more decent people, or maybe those seasons where County were actually below us have had an effect.

I just cringe at this Billy Big Bollocks attitude, as you put it so well, based on supposed past glories from either ourselves or others.

Most people in Stockport are the same as those in Altrincham who can't see past United and City.

Altrincham FC First Team / Not quite humble pie

« on: July 24, 2017, 10:11:57 PM »

Whilst I still feel that things happened off the pitch last season which were unprofessional and unethical, I have seen enough in the away friendlies to convince me that I simply must return to Moss Lane as of tomorrow night.

The style of football that PP has set up looks exciting....and, after all, what happens ON THE FIELD is the most important factor. I feel I would be deprived of some very worthwhile experiences if I stayed away.

So......I've neither forgiven nor forgotten. But I have moved on.
