Altrincham FC First Team / Streaming...
« on: July 11, 2021, 12:13:29 PM »
The NLP has an article on Alty wanting streaming to continue to assist fans (home & away) especially those still fearful of Covid or those living abroad or other areas of UK & any other fans who cannot make games for whatever reason...

https://twitter.com/NonLeaguePaper/status/1414177654853439488?s=20

In the Q&A on Friday eve Bill mentioned this & said it was the preference of the club to continue streaming BUT it all depends on external legislation ie EUFA/FA have policies for no live games at 3pm on Sats plus BT Sport have rights to all live footy in our league  - these bodies relaxed constraints last season to allow streaming & would need to agree to do so again apparently if streaming is to continue...

Can't wait for some of those aways (hopefully fans allowed)... plus all homes...

Aways to Halifax, Wealdstone  Weymouth, Aldershot, Stockport, Solihull, Southend, Wrexham, Notts County & a few London ones are defos, plus hopefully a few more...

Gutted Grimsby & Chesterfield on Tue eve... guess Chesterfield do-able, but Grimsby bit too far unless afternoon off work...

Really looking forward to Southend & Notts County aways...

COYR!

For some reason they didn't have one...

I've always wondered why not, especially as the club's record app holder who played for the club almost 20yrs...

689 apps (plus scored a goal!)... 1997–2002 & 2003–2016 (injury forced retirement or would have played longer)

NB 1yr away 2002/03 Leigh RMI for Conference footy

Maybe he'll play in Dens game as sounds from last night will be all Alty affair eg maybe Dens Alty XI with some old faces coming back v the present Alty team... last night said would be on a Tue eve in Sept (after Dover game) & more details in coming days...

Great news to offset loss of Smith...

Both were arguable the best players last season (along with Colclough & Kosylo)...

Gutted abt Smith going, but buzzing & well happy to hear Senior is staying...

Brilliant... hope u have another great season Joel...

COYR!

Gutted to hear Smith has left Alty... one of the best players last season...

He can obviously play at a higher level & we wish him well at Sutton in the EFL & for the future...

Great player who'll be missed! Good luck Alistair...

So sorry to hear this news... guess was always a possibility with a big squad & decent player who hadn't been involved as much as usual during last season...

10yrs service to one club is amazing these days & what a quality, versatile player he is... played in virtually all the outfield positions over his time with us...

An outstanding player who made 368 club apps over10yrs!
We will miss him & wish him well for the future...
Good Luck & thanks for the great service Ringo!

Now you've mentioned it... recall those Runcorn & Stafford games now...

Re Wrexham... it must have been a really thick fog... not what you want if you are being covered by TV as potential Cup shock (as Wrexham were bottom Div3 at time)...

Apparently John Higgins from the above Alty line up played for Bolton between 1950-61 and during that time played in Bolton's FA Cup win over Man United in 1958... he then moved onto then Cheshire Lge side Wigan from 1961-63, before joining Alty (also Cheshire Lge) for the 1963-65 seasons...

Altrincham FC First Team / Abandoned Alty Games?
« on: June 16, 2021, 11:07:39 PM »
After coming across the attached piece of footage on YouTube about an Alty abandoned FA Cup match in 1963 i was wondering if anyone could think of a more high profile Alty game being abandoned than this FA Cup tie that apparently was being filmed for highlights on TV? Or even recall other abandoned games?

This match appears to be from Nov 1963 when Alty played Wrexham (then bottom of Div3) in the FA Cup 1st Round... The 1st game at Alty was abandoned due to fog (as seen, or barely seen, on attached footage) on Sat Nov 16th... the game was then restaged at Alty on Wed afternoon of Nov 20th (think no floodlights back then) & ended 0-0... Wrexham then won the replay 3-0...

The second link below shows a Wrexham link to this game & shows both teams line ups...

Alty's line up was apparently...
1. Mitch Downie
2. Ian Greaves
3. Gerry Harrison
4. Brian Jarvis
5. John Higgins
6. Bobby English
7. Roy Isherwood
8. Freddie Taberner
9. Ken Finney
10. D. Cooke
11. Paddy Mulvey

Echoing other comments on here, i too am surprised to see Hardy leave as when he played thought he did well... guess we have a lot of competion on the right side ie Mooney, Kosylo, & new signing Brad Jackson... plus if played as no.10 also have those guys plus Hancock, etc...

Anyway, sad to see him go, but guess need to free up squad spaces...

I wish James Hardy well for the future... did well for us...
Good luck James...
