In reality I don't think that it would ever become an issue for us to worry about because the Club is registered at Companies House as ALTRINCHAM ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED.  We could probably just register the replacement as ALTRINCHAM FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED.

I've gone with something else, as I'd hope we could do as you suggested.

The BBC say it would be Altringham Town of the Moss Rose

I think that if we ever relocated to the Broadheath area "1891 Altrincham FC" would be a nod to our origin and the re-connection with it.

Altrincham Borough for me. I'm sure Jamie would agree...

Stamford Park posse rather than Rangers too!

Given that Macclesfield Town are now lacking a major club, some pretend millionaires could buy us, relocate us from Moss Lane to Moss Rose (BBC would never notice the difference) and we could become the MT Robins.

It's kind of been done before, so I don't see any problems at all.
