⚽️RARE ALTY v EVE 1975 VIDEO⚽️
Found this video which appears to show couple of mins rare footage of the Alty 0-2 Everton FA Cup Replay defeat at Old Trafford in 1975 (after Alty held Everton to a 1-1 draw at Goodson Park in the original 3rd Rd tie).
I'd never seen this video!

@UnionGolfRoad

As a wonderful season comes to an end, many rightly praise the players, mgmt, board, club, etc...
Lets also not for get the many volunteers, including UnionGolfRoad...
In particular, Andrew Flynn for sorting away coach travel during the season!
Gateshead 0-0 Altrincham | 40’
Am unbelievable save from Ethan Ross. Ed Francis, 6 yards out, flicks the ball towards goal, but with a superb reaction save, Ross tips the ball onto the bar.

Just back... Players' coach outside ground opposite where we were dropped...
Must admit wasn't expecting to drive passed O2 (arena) in London or go thru the Dartford Tunnel under the Thames on way home! 🙈🙂
⚠️IT'S ALL GONE QUIET!⚠️
This is the last tweet i'll be sending for a few wks...
I'm going into hospital tomorrow for heart surgery!
I will return, but in meantime i wish Alty, the club, players, sponsors, board, &fans (plus followers) a Great Chrimbo &Happy New Yr!
COYR!🔴⚪
🔴⚪ALTY CONSTANTLY AMAZE⚪🔴
When Colclough, CCC, Mullarkey left along with Newby & Jennings it was all doom & gloom...
Fair play to Parky & Sorvs... they've done it again & got players in to see Alty excelling again...
The Mgmt duo are the real stars Alty must keep hold of!
⚽️3-0 WIN FOR 'TINPOT' ALTY!⚽️
Brilliant how some ex-EFL teams think they are still big &call 'old school' non-lge teams like Alty 'tinpot'!
Well today 'tinpot' Alty easily beat Rochdale... 3-0 &clean sheet!
Crowd 3,441 (898 away fans - about third who'd left before FullTime)
Full Time: Alty 3 Rochdale 0
Second half strikes from Regan Linney and Chris Conn-Clarke, coupled with Justin Amaluzor's first half goal, see us claim all three points!
Overall, a decent afternoon, don't you think? 😉

He's had several clubs &made over 900apps(759 for EFL clubs) &was still playing last season at 44!
@altrinchamfc
@DorkingWDRS
What a joke! Farcical!
We look right amateurs & hypocrites...
We knew the forecast today & fact our pitch struggles to cope...
Bring on the 'tinpot' comments from Southend...
4th time this match called off...
Really feel for Dorking fans who'll be almost here!
Embarrassing!!☹️
🔴⚪️THANK YOU TO ALL!⚪️🔴
Amazed to hit 1,000 followers!
When i set up this twitter acc 2.5yrs ago i never expected so many would be interested
My goal was simply to help promote all things Alty -not just mens 1st team but also Reserves, Ladies, Youths, Academy,etc

@SUFCRootsHall
Pathetic & Disgraceful! ☹️
Team had travelled yesterday after assurances from Southend game on...
Also no thought for Alty fans on coaches at service station 100miles away - decision should have been made yesterday like 5 other clubs in Nat Lge who postponed matches! Joke! 😡
🔴MAD DOG THE LEGEND!🔴
There are legends, then there are TRUE Legends who inspire by their fight &determination never to give up like...
⚽️Mark 'Mad Dog' Maddox⚽️
Mark played for Alty between 1996-2006 (348apps)
After footy he's battled MND. Hope he's still kicking it's arse!
🔴⚪️ALTY YOUTH MGMT⚪️🔴
An unsung hero of Alty's recent years is Paul Fay (picture below)...
Paul has done so much great work helping manage, coach, & develop Alty's Youth & Academy teams in recent times.
He did so again last season whilst also managing Cheadle Heath Nomads.
🔴⚪THANK YOU RYAN!⚪🔴
Whilst it is a sad day to see
@ry_coco
move on, all i can do is wish Ryan well for the future!
Players come & go, but the club will live on...
That said, it has been a pleasure to watch Ryan wear the Alty shirt...

@JSFTrust
@theyellows
The main concern here is Tony's health & well being
He has the support of the masses & all hope he can stay strong & get through this
As for the 'fan', hope he can be ID'd, banned & arrested!
The club is correct - there is no place in footy or society for such disgusting acts!

🔴LINNEY IN NLP TEAM OF DAY🔴
Well done to Regan Linney on his 1st start for Alty, 1st goal for Alty, & 1st appearance in the Non Lge Paper's Team of the Day whilst at Alty!
Well done Regan! 👏👏👏
🔴⚪WEALDSTONE RESULT⚪🔴
Gutted abt result &Connor Kirby injury(led to 13min injury time)
Alty created several chances to score but didn't take any... Stones scored winner via pen in 100th min that TT almost saved
WealdstoneFC &their fans were very welcoming -much appreciated
@altrinchamfc
This is digusting behaviour & spitting is the lowest of the low!
It has also tarnished the club & our fans reputation...
NOT ALL ALTY FANS ARE LIKE THIS!
Dorking staff were friendly on the day &one director had put a tab for free pint on arrival that several took advantage of.
⚽️⚠️I'LL BE BACK!!!⚠️⚽️
No updates tomorrow (Wed) as having leg reconstruction surgery on infection in leg bone - hoping to be back Thurs (or Fri at latest)...
Fingers crossed all goes well as don't fancy further ops! 🤞
As Arnie would say... I'LL BE BACK!
🔴OTD 1973 - A LEGEND WAS BORN!🔴
Today (March 1st) we remember a legend who would have been 51 today...
On March 1st 1973, a man named Mark (Mad dog) Maddox was born...
He later battled MND for over 12yrs & made it to 50 last year, before sadly passing away in Aug 2023... ☹️
⚽️STONES FANS HELP CONNOR!⚽️
This is what what true fans of football do ie come together in times of need.
This shows what a class club Wealdstone is with brilliant fans who are coming up with various ideas to help an injured opponent...
What a great club Wealdstone is!

⚽️SORRY DORKING FANS!⚽️
Whilst my club is saying little, i feel this is a real low for Alty!
I'm really sorry for the Dorking team,but far more sorry for the Dorking fans who travelled &spent hard earned monies!
I hope Alty let Dorking fans in for FREE whenever game is played!
🇳🇱SOME DUTCH PHOTOS🇳🇱
Some mates made the trip to the Netherlands for today's match...
Here's a few of their photos from today
Great trip into Europe for Alty & fans to play a top flight Dutch team
Even the result is bearable as this was a great experience to play abroad...
🔴⚪️JOSH LUNDSTRAM⚪️🔴
Interesting article today by the excellent JL Alty Files attached...
Josh is the only 'ever-present' player this season...
Amazing achievement in modern day footy with squad rotations, injuries, several subs, etc...
Top effort Josh! 👏👏👏
🏆CONGRATS CONGLETON🏆
Totally gutted at losing another Cup pen shootout, but must say well done Congleton
Alty fielded strong team against team in 9th level of footy pyramid & 5th step of non-lge ie 4divs lower than Alty
To beat full time Alty team is great achievement!👏👏👏
🔴⚪ALTY WIN THRU TO SEMIS⚪🔴
Alty deservedly bounced back to form to dominate the match & win 2-1 (goals: Hulme & JJones for Alty, before York pulled one back at end injury time)
Crowd 3867, with 663 from Alty but seemed more!
Draw Mon... could get Gateshead, Barnet, Halifax

Alty's waterlogged pitch today after several hours of rain... more rain fell after photo... hence, understable why game was called off!
We could've lowered ourselves to train on far side of pitch & post photos ok, but no!
Hope it's ok for Sat game!🤞
🏆LETS FILL MOSS LANE!🏆
Sat,April 1st -FA Trophy Semi:
ALTY v HALIFAX
Alty got 4,865 v Wrexham this season (1,650 Away fans) so lets pack Moss Lane with crowd of over 5,000 for 1st time in 40yrs!
Alty's last crowd 5,000+ was Dec 1982 FA Cup loss to Huddersfield (crowd 5,762)!
@ElmslieEnder
How the mighty have fallen!
Always love visiting Wealdstone & the warm welcome our fans receive... great set up & historically a founder member of the Nat Lge, plus the Stones were 'double' winners in 1985!
Some Oldham fans need to realise they are in the Nat Lge for a reason!
⚽️THAT'S HOW TO BOUNCE BACK!⚽️
Great win over 4th placed team!
Scored all seven goals!
Lets see if
@Vanarama
decide not to give Alty 'Team of the Day' or Parky 'Mgr of Day' Awards like last time we won 6-1 or on previous unbeaten run
Await next week announcements with interest

Hope u both enjoy great futures!
🔴⚪KEEP THE FAITH⚪🔴
This may go against a lot of the comments on twitter & fans forum but i still believe in Parky & Sorvs...
This Mgmt duo have seen 2 proms in 5yrs & were offered the Notts County job in the summer which they turned down to help Alty to the next level...
⚽️BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM⚽️
Shaun Densmore's equaliser in his own Testimonial was reminiscent of a Beckham-esque freekick...
Great afternoon for a special player & true Legend!
@Love_non_league
Wealdstone 4-0 Altrincham
Highlight- FullTime whistle that put me out of my pain as Alty fan!
True highlight- Wealdstone club as whole... great set up, brilliant fans &welcoming staff!
Always a pleasure to come to Wealdstone,though maybe not from footy point of view yesterday!
🔴⚪️LIMITED UPDATES⚪️🔴
