On Sunday the Altrincham FC Board met and one of the key outcomes is we will be providing further support for the first team with a focus on the immediate future.

We are in our first season of full-time football after making the transition over the summer. The board are convinced that the move to full-time is mandatory if we are to continue to grow.

Last season we asked the fans to get behind the team and your response was incredible. You roared us on as we came from behind to take a point from the Woking game and that proved to be a major turning point in our season.

We are asking you all to do it again! To get behind Phil and the team for the Aldershot game on Saturday and to raise the roof as we look to secure our first win of the season.

Your support really does make a huge difference, and we know with you behind the lads we will prevail.
