Following the game against Blyth Spartans we will be holding our second “Meet the New Recruits” evening in the Manchester Glass Sponsors Lounge. Three recently arrived players along with our Management duo will be in attendance to be quizzed by all the attendees. Chicken and chips will be served along with a dessert.

Please click on the links below for details of each fundraising scheme:
"We have available for collection 'All Change for Alty' money boxes. This scheme was started last year for fans to collect small change and was a great success raising in excess of £1000. Seventy five boxes were distributed last year and this year we aim to distribute in excess of 100. Please consider taking one home – it’s a great way to help fundraising with very little effort. Your support would be much appreciated".
Steve Foster writes: "TASC are running the Goal Sponsorship scheme again for this season.
TASC therefore invite you to join the scheme in any form you wish. We are happy to have any arrangement, whether to sponsor an amount for every goal the team score, every clean sheet the team have, every goal an individual player scores, or even every penalty that Stuart Coburn or James Coates makes.
As last season, we will be updating you during the season of how much your sponsorship has cost you and we propose that the money should, as before be paid in a couple of instalments. The names of the goal sponsors and the amount that they have sponsored will be published in the programme.
If you are interested in sponsorship for this season, please send me an e-mail, call the club (0161 928-1045), or speak to me at any game.
Steve Foster".
For the new season, TASC are relaunching the mobile phone recycling scheme. Our target for this year is to raise the same amount as last year. We raised over £804.87 from 131 phones last year. As last year, please hand your old mobiles in to any member of the TASC committee, or to the boxes in the bar or shop, or to the club's offices during normal office hours on any working day.
Gareth Thomas of TASC writes:
"Altrincham F.C. in association with TASC and www.ideas4alty.com are pleased to announce the “My Square” pitch sponsorship for the 2010/2011 season.
The “My Square” pitch sponsorship scheme gives Alty fans the chance to sponsor their own little square of the Moss Lane pitch for a whole season, with prices slightly reduced from last season and starting at as little as £2!! What better way to be a part of your club and show your support for the Robins? Your name will appear on your square in the matchday programme all season or you could put your child’s name in for them.
The opportunity to sponsor a square will continue October 31st when a draw will be made and the winner will receive an ALTRINCHAM SHIRT OF THEIR CHOICE (HOME OR AWAY AND SIGNED OR UNSIGNED) worth £35. Each pound spent by a sponsor will equate to one ticket e.g. sponsoring a normal square for £2 will be 2 tickets and sponsoring the centre spot for £15 will be 15 tickets.
HOW IT WORKS
Squares are allocated all across the pitch. (The pitch diagram, showing the squares is here). Both penalty spots have seen their fair share of drama over the years and these are expected to be very popular.
Also available at a slightly higher price are squares in the penalty area, the centre circle and also the corner quadrants. In addition there is to be an auction square. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Robins' incredible 1990/91 campaign it will be the square from which Ken McKenna scored one of the legendary Alty goals of our time, his last minute winner against Kettering Town in January 1991 BRILLIANT – WHERE DO I SIGN? TASC member Steve Foster has acquired a whiteboard with the pitch squares on it. This will be in place at the TASC section of the club shop at all home games and brought into the Noel White Suite afterwards. Fans will be able to pay their money and take their choice there and then.
Anyone unable to get to matches should make alternative arrangements by either e-mail or phoning the club on 0161 928 1045.
Squares will be sold on a ‘first come, first served’ basis starting at the home fixture against Darlington on Tuesday 17th August 2010.
