Some good calls there Jacobs. I forgot the Halifax lads. Quinn in particular would be a useful partner for his mate Greg Young. Damien Reeves is probably league-bound to be honest, but Gareth Seddon at Hyde might be a useful addition. I saw Danny Holland play recently and he didn't really impress, but his record is decent. Notice that Andrew Smart keeps coming up - he's a real tough customer and I don't see many wingers getting past him!

Somebody else will be able to confirm this, but wasn't Andrew Smart an Altrincham Youth Team player a few years ago.....before he went to Macc?

If so, yet another example of the failure to build a link between the Youth Team and the First Team.

After all, we've been blessed by a host of decent left full backs in recent years, haven't we?!

Andrew Smart played in the Altrincham Youth team season 2002-2003. He only played 2 games as he was a registered schoolboy with Macclesfield Town. He was a pupil @ Altrincham G.S. He couldn't always get across to Macclesfield for training so they contacted me to see if we could help. Believe it or not I still have a good working relationship with them, whereby they recommend players who won't fit in with a League 2 club.  Tomorrow night ALTRINCHAM YOUTH v. NANTWICH TOWN K.O. 7.00 p.m. @ Wythenshawe Town.  We've got to win this to still be in with a shout for the League title.  WE COULD DO WITH ALL THE SUPPORT WE CAN GET. PLEASE HELP!

George,

Thanks for the clarification.

I still want to see Danny Caldicott Play for Alty just so I can know he was not good enough

Otherwise

Wayne Daniel ( Realistic but probably to old)

I'll say he is. I rememnber him touring with the West Indies in 1976! Good fast bowler though for the annual cricket match!

I know that we have offered a contract to a lad I know who is currently at a BSN club.  I posted details but got told to delete it as it may not do us any favours.

He is pacey and skilfull and plays left back most of the time, problem is Vics have offered him a contract too apparently!

For Vics read Stalybridge, Hyde....etc. I fear we may get a lot of this!

I'm going to get ahead of myself a bit here and this thread is just a little bit of fun but FGR have released Lee Dodgson, a quick winger who can play on either flanj and has impressed me whenever I've seen (and played against) him.

He's a Morecambe lad, so now he's been released he'll probably have to come back up to the north west.  ???

Just lost out on an 'achievable' target in Southport left back Paul Barrett. He has signed for...guess who? Northwich!
