Duly signed

Re: Good luck Alty
 

Have you asked Rod Taylor how he viewed proceedings, as he is a board member?

This is totally crazy. Anyone who loves proper football should follow Kipax's link and sign the petition. It's already got more signatures than an average Conference gate.

Re: Good luck Alty
 

Been fuming since I heard the news, have just signed petition, although I have little faith in such things.

However, I believe that we'll have some Conference Officials there on Saturday. Let's make sure they know our feelings, and show some strong support for Altrincham.

Re: Good luck Alty
 

come on folks sign the petition .
its not fair or just the majority of our lads have signed it ,moules out .
we in no way blame accy or expect you to suffer any points loss or fine,youve won the league by a mile and should in NO WAY be punished ,neither should Alty.

Re: Good luck Alty
 

Duly signed - agree with you Tracker - Conference board should resign for this travesty of justice - also how about the club suing player for potential loss of earnings etc etc

Re: Good luck Alty
 

I've been following football in England for the last four years or so and it seems that every time I get to thinking I have a good grasp on things something like this pops up and confuses me to no end.

I agree the penalty to Alty seems harsh but I don't really understand the transgression that was committed and which party is truly at fault.

Could someone explain why this player needed international clearance to play in the Conference? I've done a bit of searching to find out his background with no success but I thought I read somewhere that he's English. If this is the case, why would he require international clearance to play for a team in England?

I'm assuming the FA and/or the Conference had to sign off on his transfer from Stanley to Alty so it seems odd that none of the four parties were aware of the situation during that process. Should this have been caught by our staff or is the player responsible for this information?

Re: Good luck Alty
 

sign it now please alty are buggered unless enough folks make a stand ,come on accy folks do the right thing HEREFORD have .

Re: Good luck Alty
 

If Canvey withdraw, and i read somewhere that Scarboro are in administration and have been for a while, and if they dont come out of administration they will get relegated according to conference rules. I might be wrong. Good luck Alty, hope you manage to stay up and common sense prevails!

Re: Good luck Alty
 

Signed, sealed, delivered

Re: Good luck Alty
 

Initially I was as sympathetic towards Alty as nearly everybody else.

However, I've now been reliably informed that the Conf Board had no option under the leagues own rules but to penalise Alty as they have done.

Rules are rules and cannot be broken no matter what.

It is to your own good fortune that the player did not play for you in the Conf. which could easily have happened.

Enjoy the party....here's hoping that we meet next season in the league.

Re: Good luck Alty
 

did notice a few blaming us for not being fined for this 'jamie robinson' fiasco

Re: Good luck Alty
 

The latest information, and whole sorry saga is best read on Alty's own board: http://www.altrinchamfc.co.uk/alty1.htm

Unlike Christie's Child, I am still more than sympathetic towards Alty.

Let's show some vocal support this afternoon, while members of the Conf board are there. It wouldn't hurt to do a few Alty chants in the quieter moments.

Why is Christie's Child always so reliably informed?
Pompous twerp (children watching).

Also as a totally childish aside, Grays are looking good for League 2.

Re: Good luck Alty
 

ant chants will do it was like a morgue last saturday till we scored no sympathy from me do you think we would get any no wayyyyyyyyy you have to follow the rules


youll never be bigger than the club no matter how hard you try
