Please return your bag with articles to Altrincham Football Club on Sunday 30 November 2008, between 10am - 3pm. Please look for the signs and somebody will be there to take it from you.
What happens next?
The bags will be collected by the organisers, Bag2TheFuture, on Monday 1 December and will be taken away to be weighed, the club will receive £200 per ton, basically the more we collect the more money will be made. (If we don't make the ton, we still get paid for as much as the items weigh)

Please note all bags are checked before weighing.
Will you be able to collect my bag?

Following on from last year’s huge success, the My Square scheme will once again be running for the 2008/09 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 for as little as £3!! What better way to be a part of your club and show your support for the Robins? Once again, a draw will take place at the end of the season and one lucky winner will receive a very special prize – their very own square of Moss Lane turf to plant at home in their garden! What better way to add a permanent piece of Moss Lane to your home? You will also receive a nice bottle of champagne to toast your victory!
It’s all exactly the same as last year, but in case you’re new to all this here’s how it works: “Special squares”.
There are some parts of the Moss Lane pitch which have been selected as “special squares”, where a lot of the action has taken place over the years. 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.
The “Freeman Square” -This extra-special square is located at the spot from which Clive Freeman hit his “Goal of the Month” blockbuster against Chester City in 1992. This square will only be made available by which will take place online at www.altyfans.co.uk or alternatively bids can be emailed directly to me at ideas4alty@hotmail.co.uk. Bids will be accepted throughout the course of the season until 5pm on Friday 3rd April 2009 and the winner will be announced shortly afterwards.
