If Dan is rumoured to be training up here then it does suggest he may be returning to somewhere in the NW (unless his free house in Southend no longer in use) ?

A fit and motivated Dan would be good, but if his wage demands are much higher and he's not the same player,.. then I trust Parky to call it right if he was an option.

I really hope so because the former has always been a reminder to me of how short-sighted our sale of the Red Robin Social Club and the adjoining land was in the early 1970s.

Sorry to correct you but,.... AFC have never owned the ground or the red robin club. AFC had a lease on the ground from TMBC and shared a lease on the car park.
When Alty were in major financial trouble in around 2000, the club surrendered the lease (which by then was getting quite short) of the shared use of car park for 250K which effectively (together with great work by Geoff Goodwin and board) removed the clubs debt.

Far-sighted in retrospect actually.

With other results going our way too, I think we can now look upward and maybe sneak a playoff spot,.. would need to win 7 of the last 9 games so pretty unlikely I know.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Wingers... Barry Howard / Paul Showler / Ryan Colclough

As good as Ryan is,.. this is my order

1) Paul Showler
2) Ryan Colclough
3) Duncan Watmore (not a winger really)
4) Nicky Clee

It was a very refreshing view on things and far from the dull rhetoric usually spouted out, I actually quite like their manager, he's certainly very entertaining, he doesn't need to swear so much to make his point though !

I think they maybe a banana skin if we defend the way we have been doing, expecting an open game with quite a few goals. 3-3

Both are surprises,.. suspect this will mean we take spires money and I think its probably a short term punt on Alex thats worth taking.
In PP we trust

Terribly sad news, he is a club legend who will be very badly missed by so many, I had many dealings with Derek (and Ann) over the years and he was a true gentleman. RIP Derek.
