    RE-CYCLE YOUR MOBILE

    The Altrincham Supporters' Club (TASC) has launched a new initiative. Steve Foster writes:

    Recycle your old mobile 4 Alty

    Did you get a new mobile ‘phone for Christmas? Is your old one lying around? Have you got any unused old mobile phones? TASC are looking for fans to help them raise money for the Football Club by collecting and recycling old mobile phones. Phones can be handed in to the club office during normal week days or in to the boxes in the shop or the bar on any match day.

    If anyone has any queries about this scheme please e-mail Steve Foster or telephone Brian Flynn on 07860 561011.

    PONTOON

    A new Football Pontoon competition is being launched at Moss Lane:

    Each of the Clubs from the Premiership, Championship, League One, League Two and Blue Square Premier will be given a random number from 1 to 116. For a £10 stake, you can chose or you will be allocated one of these numbers and this will determine your team in the competition.

    The idea of the competition is for your team to accumulate exactly 21 goals by the END of any particular sequence of games. The winner will receive a £100 cash prize, the holder for the number of the second team to reach exactly 21 goals will receive £50 and the third-place prize will be £10.

    If more than one team attains 21 goals on the same day, the team that scored their 21st goal earliest in their game will be awarded 1st prize. Goals are tallied up at the end of each match and the totals adjusted accordingly. If by the end of any particular game, your team's goals total exceeds 21, then you will "go bust" and be out of the Competition. Only league goals will count towards your total.

    You are not restricted to one number, so increase your chance of winning by buying a second team!

    If you are interested in participating, please forward your name, contact number and payment along with your chosen number to the Club for the attention of Sarah Rowley. Weekly updates will be posted here on the Club's website and forum.

    Thank you for your support.

    Sarah Rowley.
