The two trialists apparently were...

Joe Bunney (27) started at CB but switched to LB at H/T when Fitzpatrick was subbed... Bunney was at Hartlepool last season (prev clubs include Lancaster, Kendal, Stockport, Northwich, Rochdale, Bolton,  Matlock, Grimsby...

Dean Furman (33) started on the bench, & is a South African international midfielder, who was previously at Carlisle. He apparently recently turned down the chance to rejoin Oldham Athletic... he came on at H/T...

Maybe Parky will offer one or both deals...

Hi Andrew,

You sent your message as i was replying to prev ones...

I agree with you that the Alty Rewards does need revisiting & upgrading as seems to not be working properly... the club takes money via Direct Debit each month & you are meant to receive certain perks... some of which have not materialised... plus, despite paying above basic option, the main two things i really wanted was the watch Team Photo perk & free Alty top you get after 12mths... now the Team Photo Event was literally a non-event for me plus the Alty shirt bit is also not going to happen for me... the club left SKkits who did sizes upto 5XL for Puma who do a max shop size of 2XL (or after contacting the Alty Directors myself possibly 3XL)... now lets just say i've had a few pies during my life & need a 3XL/4XL (Puma's 3XL is more like a 2XL in other brands)... hence i wont be able to get an Alty shirt now - though will still use the perk (if not forgotten) to treat Mrs Inter to one - i know how to treat the ladies!

Anyway, agree with you, Alty Rewards does need upgrading as not working properly at present...

Onto better things... lets hope the lads do well this season... COYR!

Hi Andrew,

In answer to your question...

'I hope Alty Rewards contributors weren't overlooked? https://www.altrinchamfc.com/club/alty-rewards'

It would appear that sadly the club did infact forget about Alty Reward contributors... i, amongst others, give so much time & funds to the club and am a Alty Reward contributor as one of the many funding initiatives i support... sadly the first we hear about the team photo experience is on here or club social media after the event... on ALL the Alty Rewards funding categories it states 'invite to Team Photo'... after missing last season's pic due to no-one allowed due to Covid i am really disappointed & upset that the club has forgotten about us fans when they are happy to take our money each month via this scheme... anyway, cannot get this moment back, so we move on...

Would have loved to have seen the Team photo, especially as i will miss a chunk of the season due to major heart surgery, but i wish the club well & will continue to support them as best i can via being a Season Tic holder, Patron, Player Sponsor, Alty Rewards funder, Patrons & Monthly draws, shareholder, plus other initiatives like Pitch-in funding, Fanzone wall brick, club collection schemes, partaking in matchday sponsorship/hospitality twice each season in Sponsors Lounge for many years, buying merchandise, etc etc, plus going all home games (bar surgery period) & many aways... i even have been a volunteer on several occasions upto this summer when restricted due to heart issues... like others who do similar, i am upset to have been forgotten by what is such a wonderful club for family, community, & footy experience...

As i say, we move on... i hope all who went to this photo experience had a great time & enjoyed it... maybe i'll get a chance next year (unless forgotten again)...

Another good signing...

The below articles states (if correct) that there will sadly be no more streaming on Saturdays...

https://twitter.com/Ollie_Bayliss/status/1422911247121625091?s=20

NB EUFA & FA had for years previously prohibited Sat live footy around 3pm to stop club attendances being effected by streaming on matchdays (FA brought in ban in 1960s between 2:45 - 5:15pm Saturdays)... BT also had as part of their live TV deal that streaming was banned for National Lge 3pm games bar their coverage... other legislation effected live screening of 3pm matches... these 'bans' were relaxed during last season for Covid reasons but it now seems that the live TV/streaming ban will be back... Alty were championing keeping streaming but always said it depends on higher powers like EUFA/FA etc...

I hope this will be reconsidered to help fans who can't go games (whether home or away fans, those abroad, etc), but it looks like the bans will unfortunately now be back...

See Alty Club website (copied below)... confirming signing of Left Back David Fitzpatrick which will be great especially as Hampson & White may not be fit for season start...

Hi there,

Last summer (autumn) the majority of pre-season games had no fans due to the on/off lockdown issues, but one game Ashton Utd away had a nominal crowd of either 300 or 600 (can't recall exact amount) but then had to buy a ticket online via the same club online website as for this year... i bought a ticket online & was looking forward to the match until it was called off few days before due to one of their players testing positive for Covid (resulting in us getting refunds)...

Another game just before last season that allowed fans in was Nantwich away (Sept) - this also had tickets purchased in advance online to show at gate to gain entry... i went that one...

Hence, nowadays & post covid appears online ticket purchases are way forward for now probably to ensure no cash transactions or delays in entry & also not new as what was used for fans last pre-season when fans permitted...

That said, there will probably be some smaller clubs who can't provide online ticket sales systems so maybe forced to have cash admissions on day instead... i think West Didsbury & Chorlton may fall into this category & we may have to pay on gate next Sat... reason i say this is as presently no ticket news to-date for our game next Sat plus below link has details on their ticket admissions tomorrow £5 for Trafford's visit & these will be pay cash at gate (only advance sales is via club shop for tables for those wanting beer)...
