Altrincham FC First Team / JORDAN HULME
« on: September 30, 2021, 01:12:27 PM »
Heard from a source (mate at Ashton) that Jordan Hulme will be signing for Ashton Utd on loan this afternoon... not sure how reliable info is but if true should be confirmed eitherway between 2-3pm...

As much as Jordan left us bit in lurch on eve of previous season start (& we've not really filled the striking void since) i wish him well if true... just glad he wont be playing against us!

Altrincham FC First Team / Wealdstone Match Thread
« on: September 09, 2021, 01:02:00 AM »
So, after the Dover comeback win... partly due to the introduction of subs i wonder if some of these subs may force their way into the starting XI (eg Pringle, Leitch-Smith) plus Dean Furman with all his experience will also be pushing to start though more likely will have to be content with a spot on the bench again...

Also the other issue is the problem area of LB caused by injuries to Hampson, White, Dens, Fitzpatrick plus Bunney being dropped to the bench at Dover (unless had slight knock)... if none of these are fit assume Senior will again move from RB to LB & Jackson start at RB (even though more of a winger)...

Then there is the no.10 & striker positions... Mooney (in Lge Team of the Week twice now) & Colclough will surely start on wings/sides of 3 behind striker... that leaves Hancock in no.10 spot (if fit) or Kosylo (who was replaced against Dover) or maybe Leitch-Smith who did well when he came on last match... Dinanga has not done it last two games so maybe a replacement could happen there eg Leitch-Smith or Peers...

Hence lots of questions to address & we are unaware of injury updates (plus we seemed to play better after substitutions as a team v Dover)...

My best guess is the following (in usual 4,2,3,1)...

                          Thompson
Jackson   Mullarkey   Hannigan   Senior
                         Moult   Kirby
          Mooney   Hancock   Colclough
                         Leitch-Smith

Subs- Pringle, Kosylo, Furman, Dinanga, Peers

NB if Hancock unfit then start Kosylo & add Bunney to bench...

Score Prediction: Wealdstone 1-3 ALTY (Mooney, Colclough, Leitch-Smith)

Looking forward to going this game... COYR!

Altrincham FC First Team / Who remembers this game?
« on: September 08, 2021, 10:00:08 AM »
Alty away at Wealdstone in Dec 1979???

APL (Conference) Sat 8th Dec1979
NB Alty on way to APL title & Stones about 15/16th in Lge
Match at Wealdstone old ground of Lower Mead in Harrow

Result: Wealdstone 1-4 Alty (Att: 842)

Two well known players played in the game... one at start of his career & one at end of career...
Ex- Man Utd keeper Alex Stepney (then 37) in goal for Alty & future England LB (78 Eng caps) Stuart Pearce (then 17 or 18) in early game in his Wealdston career before he would go on to make 241 Stones apps & before moving onto Coventry, Forest, etc...

Alty won the game 4-1 thanks to two goals each (i think) from Whitbread & Howard...

Will be happy with any win this Saturday... COYR!

PS always good to look back, bar fact you then realise your age! :) :) :)

Altrincham FC First Team / Alty Rewards - Update
« on: August 16, 2021, 09:19:10 PM »
In the interests of equality i thought i would share the below email...

Now i know with most things in life the negative is usually reported more than the positive, but wanted to show that when things do go wrong occasionally people try to rectify issues - this is the case with the recent Alty Rewards 'mistake'...

Background...
The recent 'Thank You' thread (see seperately) was a Thank You initially to the Club for letting some fans attend the recent annual Team Photo... however, the Alty Rewards members were forgotten (part of their reward that they pay towards is the ability to attend said photo shoot)...

After this was highlighted, the Board admitted dropping the ball and have apologised for their mistake... also after realising this 'error' they wanted to put things right for the fans effected... this is good to see... in life we cannot change the past but can admit mistakes & try to put rectify issues... fair play to the Board in this matter...

Here is the email that all Alty Reward members should have received today from the Club...

NB it admits the error & apologises, offers alternative meet player opportunity, adds all to Patrons list (though in my case i already am a Patron), plus an Alty shirt (which is another perk every 12mths that Alty Rewards members pay towards)...

I do appreciate the fact that our Board are always trying to push the club forward & on rare occasions they make an error they try to resolve whatever issue as soon as possible to try to keep fans happy who are the heart of any club.

Alty Rewards

Dear Alty Rewards Member
 
We would like to sincerely apologise for not having fulfilled one of the benefits of your Membership an invitation to the Alty FC Photo Shoot this week.  This was an unfortunate oversight on our part and we hold our hands up to our mistake.
 
The Alty Rewards scheme was set up as a direct additional contribution to the Alty playing budget, helping us give Phil and Neil the resources they need to take this club forward.  And its fair to say your help has made a huge difference in this area.  We have been able to adapt like never before – we reacted to the loss of John Johnston by bringing in Mahon, Durrell and Mooney and that led directly to promotion back to the National League.  And last season we strengthened massively during the season with the arrival of Ali Smith and Ryan Colclough.  We wouldn’t have been able to do this without the funds made available to us from you all through Alty Rewards.
 
And this season, a critical season for the Robins, has seen the Board set the highest ever playing budget at the club, again underpinned by the Alty Rewards contribution.
 
Its fair to say that the onset of COVID-19 has limited our ability in many respects to deliver on the commitments of the scheme, but now as society opens up once again we will put the necessary measures in place.
 
As you were not able to attend the photo shoot last week, we would like to invite you down to have photo with some of the players on the 2nd September. Please let me know if you would like to attend.
 
We have also added you to the Patrons list and raffle.
 
Now that we have the new Puma kit available, please let me know if you would like a new Home or Away shirt and what size you would like.
 
We really appreciate all you do for us. Thank you for your continued support
 
Regards,
 
Lawrence

Altrincham FC First Team / Torquay Away - who would you pick to start?
« on: August 14, 2021, 02:17:11 PM »
So, the final pre-season game ends with an Alty 3-1 away at Huddersfield B...

We should now be in a position to know our starting line up for the league opener next weekend, but to be honest i'm none the wiser really - i hope Parky knows his starting XI if all fit...

NB Hampson & White (plus assume Dens still) are all injured so guess means Fitzpatrick will start LB...

Not really seen anything of new CB Digie or Brad Jackson... also still not sure if we've found a replacement for Smithy... will Pringle fill the void or Kirby? Not sure where Hancock will fit in in new system & what system will be eg 4,4,2... 4,3,3... 4,2,3,1 etc... also have horrible feeling Colclough (certain starter) may leave before season ko as EFL clubs hovering now has all clear from court case & not played last few games as if something going on (if goes like Hulmey did on eve of season think he's still got 12mth contract so should get fee but then hard to replace)... new players Fitzpatrick, Dinanga, Leitch-Smith, Pringle all seem ok... also two more trialists played today... just need to get an XI together who can hopefully gel & build from there...

At present, i personally think Team will be...

                                TT
Senior     Mullarkey   Hannigan   Fitzpatrick
            Pringle     Moult    Kirby (or Colclough if still here)
            Kosylo    Dinanga   Mooney

Subs: Sutton, Williams, Hancock, Peers, Leitch-Smith

Alternatively, maybe...

                                TT
Senior   Mullarkey   Hannigan   Fitzpatrick
                     Moult   Kirby
                         Hancock
           Kosylo   Dinanga   Mooney

Basically, i just don't know who we'll start with around midfield area...

Any thoughts from other Alty fans??? Who would you start with???

COYR!

Altrincham FC First Team / No more Saturday 3pm Streaming?
« on: August 04, 2021, 07:21:32 PM »
The below articles states (if correct) that there will sadly be no more streaming on Saturdays... :(

https://twitter.com/Ollie_Bayliss/status/1422911247121625091?s=20

NB EUFA & FA had for years previously prohibited Sat live footy around 3pm to stop club attendances being effected by streaming on matchdays (FA brought in ban in 1960s between 2:45 - 5:15pm Saturdays)... BT also had as part of their live TV deal that streaming was banned for National Lge 3pm games bar their coverage... other legislation effected live screening of 3pm matches... these 'bans' were relaxed during last season for Covid reasons but it now seems that the live TV/streaming ban will be back... Alty were championing keeping streaming but always said it depends on higher powers like EUFA/FA etc...

I hope this will be reconsidered to help fans who can't go games (whether home or away fans, those abroad, etc), but it looks like the bans will unfortunately now be back...

Altrincham FC First Team / Streaming...
« on: July 11, 2021, 12:13:29 PM »
The NLP has an article on Alty wanting streaming to continue to assist fans (home & away) especially those still fearful of Covid or those living abroad or other areas of UK & any other fans who cannot make games for whatever reason...

https://twitter.com/NonLeaguePaper/status/1414177654853439488?s=20

In the Q&A on Friday eve Bill mentioned this & said it was the preference of the club to continue streaming BUT it all depends on external legislation ie EUFA/FA have policies for no live games at 3pm on Sats plus BT Sport have rights to all live footy in our league  - these bodies relaxed constraints last season to allow streaming & would need to agree to do so again apparently if streaming is to continue...

Altrincham FC First Team / Abandoned Alty Games?
« on: June 16, 2021, 11:07:39 PM »
After coming across the attached piece of footage on YouTube about an Alty abandoned FA Cup match in 1963 i was wondering if anyone could think of a more high profile Alty game being abandoned than this FA Cup tie that apparently was being filmed for highlights on TV? Or even recall other abandoned games?

This match appears to be from Nov 1963 when Alty played Wrexham (then bottom of Div3) in the FA Cup 1st Round... The 1st game at Alty was abandoned due to fog (as seen, or barely seen, on attached footage) on Sat Nov 16th... the game was then restaged at Alty on Wed afternoon of Nov 20th (think no floodlights back then) & ended 0-0... Wrexham then won the replay 3-0...

The second link below shows a Wrexham link to this game & shows both teams line ups...

Alty's line up was apparently...
1. Mitch Downie
2. Ian Greaves
3. Gerry Harrison
4. Brian Jarvis
5. John Higgins
6. Bobby English
7. Roy Isherwood
8. Freddie Taberner
9. Ken Finney
10. D. Cooke
11. Paddy Mulvey

Altrincham FC First Team / Defibrillator?
« on: June 13, 2021, 12:43:40 PM »
This is a message for the club or those 'in the know' in & around the club...

After the worrying scenes at last night's Euros game involving Denmark, & relating to Christian Eriksen, can the club confirm that we have a defribrillator at Moss Lane in case of similar emergencies (plus medical staff trained on how to use one)?

Also a shout out to applaud local lad Anthony Taylor who was the referee last night... he stopped the game within 5 seconds to get the correct medical protocols underway that will have contributed to hopefully saving Eriksen's life!

We wish Eriksen a speedy & full recovery... 🙏
