Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Predictions For York

Depends on the team - and the way/formation they play.
Response from the Heart ...
They are capable of beating us convincingly if they're on song but I've got a sneaky feeling Joe and Colin will get one each and we'll nick it by the odd goal after withstanding a heck of a lot of pressure.
Response from the Head ...
Either that or we'll get beaten 3-0
Hope the 'Heart' Alty turn up on the day as a good result here - and against Crawley would keep us right up in mid-table until the New Year and boost confidence for the two "Would love to win" games over the hols.
As I always do with the Robins, I'm going with my heart - come on Joe and Col, fire us to a win!

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: "The worst FA Cup performance at this club in 30 years".
« on: November 03, 2006, 09:41:53 AM »
It's funny - when you put them all down, I remember them all (and was at most of them myself) but If asked to recall defeats like that off the cuff I couldn't do it.
I suppose that's another requirement of the lifelong Alty fan - to think back to the past and only remember the good (and great) times blocking these results completely from memory!
Pwhelli ... I couldn't even manage a pint after that one!
Colne (With Chalkie White's money) was a very good team on a s**t tip ground, I seem to recall!
Roissendale at Dark Lane ... was that the one which was postponed at first? I remember going there once for a cup game and finding the game off then going to Burnden Park to watch Bolton. It might be my memory playing me tricks but I could swear they were playing Chorley - also in the FA cup (obviously).

Isn't it a bit too far away from December for the "Christmas Tree" formation?

I think you at least need to register before getting shut of any players - however right you may be

« on: November 02, 2006, 09:18:27 AM »the big question is just what was the first vinyl record that you purchased in the White & Swales shop?
Twist and Shout EP, The Beatles!
Remember the old 4 track 'mini-LPs"?

Much rather get in at Alty with my ST, £10 for Mrs Saughall, £10 in the bar and £5 at the burger van.
When you take in the programme and the throat pastilles for afterwards, there's still change from £30!
A bargain.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: If you could have any ex-player in the Alty team who would it be ?
« on: November 01, 2006, 03:34:15 PM »Peter Frankish and Peter Schofield in 1972-74
Peter Frankish was the worst goalkeeper we have ever had at Altrincham apart from Bobby Irvine (and HE was an Irish International!)
I remember driving to Fleetwood for a midweek night match to watch him throw one in his own net! that bloke was unbelieveable.
a 'fast and tricky winger' (programme notes to describe who?) - we've got Ernie Peters (um, is ths right?)
Sorry I was late with your request, SW, but I think I can help out MG here, You are probably thinking of Frankie Peters our number 4 (wide midfield in todays parlance)in the Cheshire League champioship side.
I've still got the cutting from the MEN in the build up to the Wolves game where he's at work at his garage job and pretending to lift a car back axle like a set of weights.
PS: You didn't mean Ernie Taylor, our winger from a couple of years before that did you? Can't comment on him as I never saw him play.

I think it's great that you can get a good idea as to how old the posters are by who their favourite players are!
It shows we've had some fantastic players throughout the years.
PS: Apart from Jeff Johnson and Graham Barrow, my favourites would include Crackerjack Swindells and Derek 'Tank' Halliwell!
(What does THAT do for guesses at my age?)

Noel was a great man, a fantastic servant to our club and somebody who we should all feel grateful to for his time with us.
He moved on to bigger things (like his, then, partner) and played a major part in founding the modern-day Alty.
I wish him good luck.

« on: November 01, 2006, 09:43:16 AM »If Crawley go bump, then would they be one of the 4 teams to be relegated?
Yes - but as has been said on other threads, it's highly unlikely that they would be allowed to go bust.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Ressies game tomorrow - Lets see the fans out in force
« on: November 01, 2006, 09:41:22 AM »
As it's about 45 miles to Alty, I've never been to a reserves game for many years (not since the Manchester League days when Roy Wilford scored the winner!)
Am I right in assuming we don't do programmes for these? If so, might that not be another idea to make a little more money by selling a four page basic programme for 50p or £1? I'm sure lots of people would buy them and it would all add to the coffers wouldn't it?

It would have to be Bush instead of Eddie or Val, unfortunately - Lewis and Robbie are cert starters for me.
