I think we deserve it, 51 points last season and a well run club, we are there on merit.

Hate to piss on your fire there but i think we all know how wrong you are with that statement. (Except the well run bit before you lynch me)

Well, it's quite clear we didn't stay up on merit i.e. all that on the pitch nonsense. However the issue of whether we deserved to stay up is a little more tricky and depends on what you understand by desert in this context.

If you go by the strong definition that the only clubs that deserve to be in the league are those that earn enough points to avoid being relegated then you won't consider our reprieve deserved. But simply because we were retrieved at the expense of Boston to me doesn't change the fact that, IMO, we deserve to be in the league at the expense of Crawley. Crawley having spent money on players they couldn't afford, then built up debts that allowed them to spunk more money on players. They have continually missed deadlines and paid back a fraction of what they legally owe.

A club that has behaved sensibly and ethically that goes down is more deserving of a place in the Conference than one that has lied and cheated its way to safety by spending money it didn't have and seemingly doesn't intend to pay back.

is this actually official or just a rumour someone has heard from somewhere?

given the origional message is from one of the directors of Altrincham FC, I would suggest that it is fairly official.

i agree people get together and celebrate like crazy tonight but would it not be an idea to do it @ the club? i'm guessing the problem lies with letting people know its open but to be fair if as i can only assume a few bevvies will be sunk by folk tonight and surely putting the proffits into the club coffers would be the ideal way to celebrate,

booster on the whole staying up thing!! by the way!
