Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Applying for entry to the football league?
« on: November 30, 2009, 11:51:39 AM »
I was talking to a kidderminster supporting friend of mine about both our seasons,with both clubs doing pretty well so far.He mentioned that clubs wanting to gain entry to the football league at the end of the season have to apply to enter.I didnt realise clubs still had to apply,but he says that the deadline for applying is next week.This may be a little premature, and only a pipedream at the moment,but does anyone know if Alty have applied to join the football league? Im presuming we will have done.There is a deposit  or bond of about £900 required apparently.But if you dont apply by next week, then you cannot take part in the playoffs,even if you finish in the top 5.Can someone clarify if this is the case, and wether or not the club has applied? Even one season in the footballl league as a part time side would be a dream for all supporters,and set the club up financially even if in West Brom style we came straight back down,due to the payments you get as a football league club.Probably getting a little giddy after a couple of wins, but it would be terrible to finish in the top five and miss a place in the league yet again.

Congratulations, Ledbury - or whoever you are - this must count as the biggest "chomp" we're ever likely to see on the forum.

I'm man enough to admit I was hopelessly wrong on this one! Apologies all round - and a Goodwin to Ledbury.  ;)

How do Eastbourne go about reclaiming their costs?

Perhaps they could ask Vauhall Motors or Wrexham for some advice  ::)

Apparently the FA have told Chester's players they can leave the club due to not being paid.

I hate to sound like a heartless vulture but could any of them do a job for us?

Hate to sound cruel, but on the strength of the two games against us, no.

Half the ground is over the border...not sure which half though.

The wooly, hilly half  :D

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: So who is going Tamworth then?...
« on: November 25, 2009, 02:24:48 PM »

As with Ballers, a concert date precludes me from attending.

However, mine is rather more esoteric than his: Ryuichi Sakamoto at The Bridgewater Hall.

There will probably be more people at Tamworth!


 

630 odd? Perhaps not! (or did you mean the away following?  :D)

It also had a sentance at the end saying "Luke joined the Dons in June 2009". Who is this Luke?  ???

They have clearly cut and pasted the pen pictures of alty over the ones from the previous home game vs Wimbledon and bozzed up colin's!

Er, i'm off to see The Specials at the Hammersmith Apollo - which is why i missed chester too.

Ballers,

Please let us know if they dedicated Gangsters to Stephen Vaughan or Ghost Town to Northwich.


No, that was Saughall as Mrs S and myself walked back smugly from the Wheatsheaf on Saturday evening!  :D

Check out Colin Little's profile in the pen pictures section ...

"Skilful fast forward who can play as an attacking midfielder or as an outright striker" ... OK so far I suppose ... "Although still only 21, he has made over 150 appearances in non-league's top flight."


Looks like were going to get another fifteen years or so out of Col, so no need to worry about the forwards at Alty for a bit then!  ;D :D :D

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Worst Ever Game?
« on: November 20, 2009, 10:57:25 AM »
The wrexham local paper has a double page spread (for local chester fans) about this weekends game, in it there is mention of a 13-2 defeat to chester in the 60's.
Is this alty's worst game, I am too young to have been there, how bad were we? 
I still see the defeat to mossley in the cup a few years ago as a personal low point.

That was 30 November 1929. Even I'm too young to have witnessed that one!

My worst 'game-experiences' would have to include the 0-6 hammering at Holly Park, South Liverpool closely followed by Colne and Burnley ...
But the many good times have more than made up for it! My favourite being the 6-1 hammering of Macc AT Macc in the Champs vs runners=up end of season match. Seeing them lift the Cheshire League trophy in a ground, by that time, devoid of home supporters was a fabulous experience - although trying to get back to the station afterwards was a bit on the hairy side!

Any monies raised will first of all just rest in my account.........

As they say in china...............赚钱了,很高兴...来的阿尔特!

Coming soon...commission on thai brides for our more lonely gentleman alty fans and not forgetting the ladies, an ann summers party (how come it's OK for them?)

I'd be interested to see who translates the above first!

Is it Chicken Chow Mein with extra 'Sore Finger"?

cheating french bastard Henry.. I would have crippled him if I had been playing in that game, and made sure he wasnt going to any World Cup

I fkn hate cheats like that in football.

I presume that you roundly booed Eddie Hussin after his 'Hand Of Eddie' goal against Droylsden at Moss Lane in 2004 then...?!

That's different - poor little Eddie was only being 'creative'  ::)


Incidently I remember Derek Halliwell scoring at a corner against Chester Reserves in the 60's. The goalkeeper caught it but, along with a couple of defenders, was body-checked into the net by 'Tank' for an Alty goal.

I cheered at that one too  ;)

As we are generally toothless at corners, perhaps we could do with a bit of that kind of practised set piece routine nowadays?!

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Whos going chester on saturday?
« on: November 17, 2009, 10:32:57 AM »
Advice please!
I'm planning on going with a couple of chums on the train from Alty. Can anyone provide info on the best way to get to the Deva from the station?  (Chester CFC websites seem patchy on the subject).
I assume it's too far to walk? Is Taxi the best bet to get there? Is there a bus from the ground back to the station after the game?
Any advice would be great!

You've got several options depending on how athletic/fit or how large your finances are! ...

1.  To walk would be about 2.5 miles doing the direct route. This would be to walk up city road directly opposite the station entrance until you reach the junction at 'the bars' which is a very large roundabout with a block of offices in the middle. walking round it in a clockwise direction, the third exit is foregate street. Take this into the city centre walking straight on under the clock onto eastgate and then watergate street (after passing chester cross) until you reach the ring road. Go straight over and walk on for another 3/4 of a mile passing the racecourse on the left until you reach Bumpers lane on your left. The ground is signposted with a brown sign and it is a few hundred yards up there.

2. Get a taxi which will cost you about £3.50 (but obviously don't expect to get one back!)

3. get the shuttle bus which I believe still runs from the station to chester bus station and change buses to the Sealand road park and ride bus. This passes the end of bumpers lane and should stop. Some drivers don't stop (I know!) but even if you have to go to the terminus it's only half a mile or so back and there is a quicker way to the ground than going down to bumpers lane. As you walk back towards chester, take a right at the first traffic lights on to the industrial estate and the road goes round to the ground.

It's likely that you'll have to walk back to the centre of chester whichever way you arrive but there is a taxi rank at the bus station of you can't make all the journey to the station on foot.
My advice on the return journey would be to stop in at a pub (possibly Telfords Warehouse which can be found 200 yards on the left if you take a left at the Sealand chippy on the way back towards the racecourse) and get them to phone a cab for you whilst you sample a few frothy ones. sorted.
