Has anyone out there got any newspaper articles/reports relating to the above game, which Alty won 1-0 courtesy of a Mick Fagan goal?
If so, please contact me.
Many thanks, in anticipation.

When I first read the headline, I thought that Vics had swooped to sign our George!

And some of their supporters think that a few of these are far from being their worst players!
Delighted to see that they are persisting with Redfearn though.
I can only presume that it would be too expensive to sack him?

Altrincham FC First Team / John Laidlar's Alty FC Website....
« on: September 11, 2007, 12:35:24 AM »
....was the subject of an article in Sunday's issue of Non League Today.
It received richly-deserved praise and was awarded 8 marks out of 10.
I suspect that the great man is far too modest to refer to this on the official website, so I thought that I'd mention it on here.
Thanks again for all your magnificent work, Mister Laidlar.

Altrincham FC First Team / Can the Board help GH at all?
« on: September 09, 2007, 02:02:31 PM »
I think that the main reason that a lot of Alty supporters are so frustrated at present is that we are dropping points that have been there for the taking:
Stafford Rangers (A): a silly defensive lapse gifts them an equaliser and then we have plenty of possession in the second half but no cutting edge whatsoever;
Aldershot Town (H): a hatful of chances created but not taken.....and what could have been a win - and should have at least been a draw - turns into another defeat;
Oxford United (H): the opposition were unimpressive but we fail to test their reserve keeper enough. A positive approach later in the second half brings a deserved equaliser but then yet more defensive chaos presents Oxford with two 'soft' goals.
It's glaringly obvious that we need to enhance our attacking options if we are ever to register a victory.
We read last week that GH had tried to recruit an unnamed striker on loan but that the proposed deal had fallen through due to financial restraints.
Seriously, is there not any way that the Board could help GH by releasing some funds to help him to bring in a much-needed forward?
Yes, I know the limited budget mantra off by heart but if we take no action, relegation will surely ensue.
The impression I get when talking to various Alty fans is that there is a perception (which may be incorrect) that the Board aren't really that concerned about whether we are relegated.
Yes, I'm sure that a new toilet block will look lovely.....but there will be far fewer people to use its facilities in the BS North!

Altrincham FC First Team / Is there a sinister pattern emerging?
« on: August 16, 2007, 01:03:19 AM »
Now, I'm not one for conspiracy theories....but is it purely down to coincidence that Gareth Whalley has been the victim of a, shall we say, heavy tackle in both of our opening fixtures, which on each occasion has resulted in him having to withdraw from the action prematurely?

I've just received a copy of the programme for the Northern Premier League match between Alty and Wigan Athletic on 25th October 1975.....
......and one of the pages has been autographed by none other than DAVE FURNIVALL!
What a legend he was....

I had to smile at their reporter's bizarre decision to nominate Lee Elam as the man of the match from the Alty v Exeter City game.
He was only on the pitch for nine minutes.....

Does any long-standing Alty supporter remember the "infamous 20-man brawl" incident that is mentioned in this obituary?
