« on: August 09, 2023, 06:51:30 PM »I did a little digging on the only named investor on the article, Shalni Arora, and her husband is the billionaire ex CEO of B&M bargains. Would be nice if she could convince him to buy the clubHavent you learnt anything,.. owners only work when they are interested,. ask Southend and plenty of others.
Keeping control of the club with a range of people who care about it without one person in control is by far the safest approach.
This is very good news.
Aye. Agreed.

RR has gone back to playing music, just as the extra 9 mins started. Is it just me that has this?

« on: July 30, 2023, 08:27:15 AM »Does this mean our three loanees from last season will not be playing, Hugill, Aljofre and Oyedele?
Thought they would still be in the USA?
You forgot Mee - as easy as this might be to do in fairness!
It's better that way.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: An appeal to the foodhalls and snack bars
« on: July 29, 2023, 07:38:32 PM »Would it be possible to add bacon barms to our menus, or is this not possible cost wise or time wise?
Sorry Steve - very unlikely - a couple of us have a sausage barm at 10 ish on a Matchday whilst we’re setting up, and bacon barns are done for tournaments until 11am, but like McDonald’s- we change to lunch menu after 11. Stick to the burgers 🍔 😂
How about a nice bit if Scottish square sausage served in a burger bun?

« on: July 26, 2023, 08:36:39 PM »I see that miserable sod of a manager Wrexham have, has warned United keeper to “stay away from Wrexham”
The keeper collided with Mullins and he will miss the start of the season.
Stupid thing to say. Is it a threat? Who knows.
It IS the sort of irresponsible language that can be jumped on by idiots. Very very silly.

This is not a friendly. Not as far as I am concerned.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Stockport County match thread
« on: July 17, 2023, 09:01:21 PM »I don't think Ollie is a bad keeper; but any other player would get respite. Dinanga, Osborne, Hulme, Linney if mistakes are made.
Time for Phil to perform a duty of care; bring in a 2nd GK and give Ollie the support he needs. Coming from Welsh Champions behind a top-quality defence, he's being challenged for the first time in his adult career.
100% behind this sensible post. My mind is cast back to Joe Corrigan in the early 1970s at City. The boo boys were rewarded with the signing of Keith MacRae from Motherwell in 1973/74 who immediately took Joe's place in the first team. MacRae cost City £100,000 which was a tidy sum at the time.
Suffice to say that Joe had been retained and developed behind the scenes and it was he, not MacRae, following his return to the first team, who went on to become a City legend.
A bit off topic but Joe Corrigan was my absolute hero as a lad. I used to watch city a fair bit all those decades ago and he was an excellent keeper. Thanks for that bit of info. He was coaching until a dozen or so years ago.
