Robins Are Staying Up

[Flaxbourton Red]

In the crazy world of lower league football Altrincham F C "The Robins" doomed to play in the conference north have escaped relegation for a second year running.

Lasy year they faced a crazy 18 point deduction following a mess up with an international registration form

which I'm sure you agree was crime of the century. Scarborough however went into administration thus ripping off their creditors, which usually means local businesses.

this time Boston united have gone into administration, leaving their creditors with nothing, new league rules have meant that Boston go straight into the conference north. Alty thus stay in the conference. Alty remain one of the few part-time clubs left in that division.

great news for Atly, but you've got to ask what is happening to football?

big fat Americans swooping in for the top clubs so they can stick their snouts into the premiership trough, the same league that sucks all the money out of our national game, whilst the FA allow shysters and con men to drive the smaller clubs to the wall.

If TV money was distributed in a fairer manner, like before the abomination of the premiership was created, perhaps we'd see a more competitive game with less collusion at the top and more money for smaller clubs. The FA also has a duty to protect the game from con men like the Boston directors and foreign vultures like Glazer.

to be honest, they do the opposite. It's more like

"come on into the English League. Invest as much crap as you like. Please confirm your interest in any of the 20 clubs in our league."
