  5. I see today that Nicky Butt is already having to modify his lifestyle following relegation - shopping in Tescos at lunchtime - Premier league players use the Sainsburys

  10. From the Alty Offal Altrincham FC does not wish to exacerbate the current situation regarding the 18 point deduction imposed on the club for playing James Robinson in 14 games this season. The website will therefore limit itself to factual reports rather than expressions of personal opinion about the matter. Firstly, a brief explanation for those unfamiliar with the background to this case. James Robinson was signed by Altrincham from another English club, namely Accrington Stanley, in November 2005. Accrington, for whatever reason, had not obtained international clearance for Robinson, who had previously played in Iceland. Robinson then left Altrincham for Australia and it was only when the Australian authorities were registering him that the failure to obtain international clearance by Accrington came to light. Both Accrington and Robinson have reportedly been charged by the FA, but Altrincham have not. Robinson played in 14 Conference games, starting 8 and being a used sub in 6. Alty won 5 of those games (v Kidderminster [h], Aldershot [h], Scarborough [a] Cambridge [h] and Tamworth [h]) and they drew 3 more, (v Grays [a], Tamworth [a] and Stevenage [h]), gaining 18 points in the process. Conference rule 6 which concerns players and which starts "The FA Rules will apply in respect of all matters concerning players" goes on to say in section 6.8 that the Conference "may vary the decision in respect of the deduction of points gained only in a case where a substitute player participates in a match". Had this variation been applied, Alty would only have been deducted 10 points but the Conference yesterday applied the full 18 point sanction. This is the largest deduction ever applied to a Conference team and far exceeds, for example, the deduction of four points imposed on Boston for financial irregularities in 2002, which was only applied at the start of the season following their misdemeanours, after they had won the Conference title on goal difference from Dagenham.. Reaction to the decision has been nationwide, with features on national TV and radio and the creation by a York City supporter of a Help Alty website. On the radio, on Thursday, Alty manager and secretary, Graham Heathcote, indicated that the club had behaved in an "honest and above board manner" throughout and that he was confident of the outcome of an appeal to the FA regarding the Conference's decision. Graham can also be heard on Clubcall (see details, right). Meanwhile all Altrincham fans are urged to turn out in force for the remaining two games, at home to Grays on Saturday and away at Woking a week on Saturday, to ensure that the team is well supported as it seeks to confirm its position above the relegation places in the league table.
  11. Ahr the memories! yerp lots of schools ect do the parking - trouble is - there are now fewer of them & the ground new holds half as much again as it did 10 years ago. Plus the traffic round the ground before & after the match is a nightmare. (as far back as Alty)
  12. Park in Alty & then get the tram to the cricket ground, then walk through to the footie
  13. It's walking distance from the quays to the trafford centre (well for seasoned walkers like you & Wayne;) )
  14. You should be OK, then again - if you switch to the midnight you have the chance of a few post-match bevvies. Suppose the only concern would be your 8:15 worst case scenario
