Hello Alty,

I just have a quick couple of questions I need answering........

1. A couple of seasons ago Alty match DVDs had a really good commentary on them, can you tell me the name of the commentator?

2. Do Alty Supporters Trust still sell match DVDs of Alty home games? If so, what are the details?

I am doing a media-related column in the match programme this season and would like to mention these things, so accurate information would be great before Ballers meets me in the bar after the game to tell me I've written a load of bollocks.

Thanks a lot,

Phil

Hi there,

As you know I filmed the game yesterday and the web highlights are almost finished. This season, due to the manager wanting restrictions on who can view the match highlights of our home games, the highlights are being sent out by e-mail mailing list. The YouTube link is initially "private" but each person on the list gets sent the "private link" and, as the YouTube rules go, it's the first 25 people who click the link who can then view it. I know it sounds like a pain and as though it's some kind of dodgy porn being distributed but this is the current situation at YCFC. The link will be unlocked and made completely public at a later date.

So, if you want putting on the list please e-mail me at  phil_tsarevich@hotmail.com

I should be sending out the link later this evening once the video has processed.

In addition, I will be putting the game onto DVD for anyone who wants a copy. I usually charge £8 (including postage) for these DVDs, they are simply packaged but with decent quality content, and seeing as it's Alty I am happy to send one to anyone who wants one on the proviso you make a donation to an Altrincham FC-related supporters organisation (STAR is it? If that's ok with them). E-mail me with your address and I can send one out to you and please DO NOT send any money to me as I'll spend it on beer or on York City's new expensive flop.

Cheers.

So why did the two commentators say "I dont know maybe some alty fans are involved......"

Alty fans?

Impossible, unless there was a big conspiracy to infiltrate the home end, the only Alty people in the Main Stand would have been the directors and any family members of the players who were there as guests.

Only joking mate, have just returned from an evening in the company of some of the travelling supporters, a most entertaining bunch.

And we gave them CHIPS!

Barney, let that be a lesson to you!!

 

The previous post was pretty much a fair assessment from what I saw.

Whether the Safety Officer responsible thought GH was going to assault the ref I don't know but, from what I saw (from a distance admittedly) Heathcote was not to blame.

It really does depend on what side Foyle puts out tomorrow because we've got a home game with AFC Wimbledon 2 days later which, if we win, that's the play-offs secured.

I reckon draw tomorrow, then we will beat AFCW on Wednesday.

No surprise it's off to be honest.

If, like me, you just want to get out of the house for a beer or two and watch some football as an excuse to go somewhere, a couple of us are going to Stalybridge v Southport (which I think is 7th v 1st in Conf North) so you are welcome to come along.

We will be in the pub near the ground from about 2pm.

Hello,

What are the chances of the game being on on Monday?

Rumour has it that there has been some serious snowfall over your way and I don't want to miss my favourite drinking session of the season.
