From the main site...

Altrincham FC have today released the following statement:
"It is with deep regret that we have to announce that Geoff Goodwin (right) has stepped down as Chairman from the Football Club as well as from the Board of Directors due to mounting pressures at work and his involvement with his son's karting. We would like to offer our sincere thanks for everything that Geoff, and his wife Suzanne, have done for this Football Club over the last 8 years of his leadership. Geoff has agreed to continue his Sponsorship of the Football Club until at least the end of the current season. Mr Grahame Rowley will act as Chairman until the next Board meeting, scheduled for Wednesday 22nd September when the position will be discussed".

Rumour mill is that he is clearing his desk as we speak...

Thanks for all your help Geoff. Without your steadying influence, this club would have gone under a long time ago. Good luck to both yourself and your family in the future.

I'll second that.

 GG was & remains a great ambassador for the club and a voice of great common sense in football - I hope he is made a life president or other such honour.

I wish Geoff and his family all the very best and hope we shall still see him at ML.

Good luck and thanks Geoff.

Geoff has done wonders for this club, and has often received unwarranted criticism. The man isn't even really first and foremost a football fan !

I honestly believe that without his timely intervention, the club we all love could have gone under. I'm only sorry that he leaves with us at such a low ebb. Good luck to you and yours for whatever the future brings - and don't be a stranger !

Thanks to the Goodwin family for their help.

We have an excellent Chairmen in waiting in Graham Rowley.

Thanks for looking after the club Geoff,good luck for the future.
GH to stay thank you.
We get an arab prince as the new chairman with as much cash to spare as the one at city has.ROFL in my dreams

[PukkaPieman]

This is really bad news. Geoff has been the best thing to happen to this club in many years. Graham Rowley will do an excellent job.

Thanks Geoff for your wonderful leadership, financial support from your company, common sense, and dedication, you will be sorely missed and always welcome at Alty.  All the very best to you and your family for the future.

If all charimen in football were of the same stuff that GG is made of then the game, particularly non-league, wouldnt be in the mess its in.

This has been coming for some time, and I think the ongoing commitment from GG shows that the man truly cares about the club and its fans.

Thankyou Geoff Goodwin and family. I hope you have a very happy and succesful future!!!

Geoff has been amazing with us. With very little knowledge of football finances, he, and the board, have managed to steady the ship, and bring us BSP football for 6 years.
Geoff Goodwin should be congratulated for all his efforts.

I hope we now make the correct appointment, in order to take the club FORWARD.
