Altrincham FC First Team / bedlington terriers
« on: November 05, 2010, 06:34:09 AM »
Taken from the BTYAHOO website
An American billionaire has invested in English football at an unlikely club - amateur side Bedlington Terriers.

Rooney effigy to burn on Bonfire Night
The appropriately-named Robert Rich is the 488th richest man in the world, but has eschewed following several of his compatriots into the cauldron of the Premier League by investing in the Northumberland club, who play their football in the ninth tier of the English pyramid.
Currently four top-flight clubs - Manchester United, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Sunderland - are under American ownership, but Rich has instead opted for the delights of the STL Northern League Division One.
The 69-year-old chairman of the Rich Products Corporation, a food manufacturing and catering empire, was drawn to the area after tracing his family roots there.
His wife bought him the title of Lord of Bedlington and he became interested in the local football side.
Rich now sponsors the club's shirts, and plans to install a £30,000 electronic scoreboard at the club's home ground. The record attendance at Welfare Park is 2,400 spectators for an FA Cup first round match against Colchester United in 1998.
Rich - who owns three baseball teams in the States - said he would not plough obscene amounts of money into the club, and vowed to increase his investment relative to the club's potential.
He told local paper The Journal: "I haven't made any promises. Having said that, I would love to see them do well and let them challenge me to increase our participation."
Club secretary David Callop is just grateful that Rich's involvement has eliminated the worries surrounding the costs of running the club.
He said: "The backing has relieved us of the immediate worries of scraping by. Even at our level, clubs can take some running. For a night match when we might only have 60 or so paying punters, we have to pay £50 for the floodlights and £200 for the officials."
However, Callop allowed himself to envisage the Terriers rising up the divisions, and perhaps even surpassing local rivals Blyth Spartans.
He said: "In my dream of dreams I would like to see Bedlington step on to the pitch as a League Two side.
"Who knows whether that might happen? But we are not splashing the cash on players now, we are slowly improving our ground.
"Mr Rich could have bought Manchester United or Liverpool, I would imagine but he would sooner help the underdog."

Altrincham FC First Team / SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY
« on: July 23, 2010, 10:02:27 AM »
from the BBC website.
Sheffield Wednesday have been served a winding up order by HM's Revenue and Customs over an unpaid tax bill.
The action by HMRC relates to an outstanding PAYE balance which amounts to £550,000.
The club, who remain confident that the outstanding debt can be paid, will appear at the High Court on 11 August
so another one,when will these clubs learn.
At this rate i think Alty could be top of the Premiership lol

fFrom the BBC website.
York violence closes city square
Police in riot gear close off a square in York after violence erupts among football fans.
Sounds like it was Hull fans.
Bit sad at a pre season friendly and a big club showing a small club how great they are, very sad lot indeed

Altrincham FC First Team / Salisbury to go FullTime
« on: May 05, 2009, 03:39:08 PM »
according to the BBC website:-Holmes desperate to go full-time
Holmes suffered a difficult season with Salisbury because of finances
Salisbury boss Nick Holmes says he is desperate for City to be a full-time club next season and believes it is important in the Blue Square Premier.
Most sides at that level run with full-time squads and, after several departures last year, the Whites only have one part-time player now.
Holmes hopes the club's new owners will agree with his idea.
"We're desperate to keep it professional. Without a doubt it helps," Holmes told BBC Wiltshire.
The club is currently up for sale and Holmes is waiting on the takeover before he can make any plans for the 2009-2010 campaign.
He only has four players on contract beyond the summer in Matt Tubbs, Robbie Sinclair, captain Mike Fowler and Robbie Matthews who ended the season on loan at Crawley.
Holmes said: "The quicker something happens for us the better it will be. The majority who finished the season I would like to keep.
"They've proven they can handle the league well - we need to probably get two or three players with good experience who have realised play-off dreams of their own in the league or in a higher league.
"I think the majority of them would like to think they'll be here next season but on the understanding that the ship has steadied itself and there aren't going to be pay cuts.
"Obviously centre-halves are a well known deficit that we have at the moment."
