MotM v Altrincham
Yesterday was a massive local derby against Altrincham. Although we beat them in a pre-season friendly, we were definitely the underdogs but the team performance was outstanding!
Paul Hornby's man of the match was Lewis Lacy. After a torrid start against Chorley, Lewis has shown some real quality over the last few games and this award is well deserved. Well done!

Away days - Salford City
... The night began with me thinking I might not even make the game. It was just over an hour to kick off and The Stephens' had not yet got back in touch with me about the lift they'd offered. Fear not, Tim knocked on my door at 7.00 just I was putting my little girl to bed. 25 minutes later and via picking Mel up, we were outside the ground.
After a little discussion of 'can we get in this way', we soon found we could and we did. After watching Melody trying (and failing) to kick a stray ball in her 24 inch high-heels back onto the pitch and walking past some Trafford FC 1st teamers sat in the stands, I was at the bar ordering a beer.
I sat down and within 2 minutes had bagged myself a couple of TFCSC jobs to do the next day! Pint transferred into a plastic cup and out to watch the game I went.
Earlier on in the day it had been announced that Trafford had released/sold two players and there was lots of discussion of what team we would put out... it turned out to be a 2nd string/youthful/experienced players coming back from injury sort of selection. There was a pleasant atmosphere although the Salford manager was obsessed with Mini Mason's feet shouting, "Look at his feet, liner" every time he took a throw-in! The first half saw some entertaining football and the Trafford lads very much played like a 1st team. HT and we were 2 up!
I went and got the beers in as Sempie was 'desperate for the bog'.
Sempie later remarked how beautiful and clean the toilet behind the stand was. He mentioned how you definitely did not have to walk through a swamp of wee to enter it and that it definitely did not resemble a cell out of Alcatraz!
Anyway, out for the 2nd half and as I walked to the other end of the pitch I could hear the never ending banter of Mark Molyneux giving out some generous portions of stick to anyone and everyone. Something along the lines of singing a Proclaimers song came my way!
The 2nd half saw more Trafford dominance but some poor defending or perhaps a case of taking their foot off the peddle saw Salford twice get back into the game. It should have been out of sight! a quick, yet regrettable visit to the aforementioned toilet (It would have been cleaner to do it in my pants!) and I had been persuaded to go for another pint. Spirits were high and two pints later and one and a half hours after I said I would be, I was home.
Christmas Curry!
It should be a cracking night... hohoho! #TraffordFamily
Altrincham FA Cup
We already have 5 so require just 3 more. If you would like to volunteer then you must let myself (Andy Glinka) or Andrew Semple know asap. I will pass on the names of those that volunteer to the club and those names will get free entry for the game.
Any jobs to help out will NOT involve missing the game itself. Volunteers are asked to be at the ground for 1-1.30.
Thanks in advance to volunteers.
If anyone is willing and can help on the Friday afternoon, putting up beer tent, tidying etc then that would also be appreciated.
Cheers

MotM - Rushall
Lots of players had a good game but it was decided, by Jonny Escott (and agreed with by many others) that the Man of the Match was our captain Nia Bayunu who had a tough job of keeping a very physical and experienced ex-pro quiet, which he did (after a nervy 5 mins!)
Overall, a great team performance and now on to Salford on Tuesday.

MotM v Whitby
Despite the defeat, everyone at last nights game that I spoke to, including Whitby fans said it was harsh! Some of the football was cracking to watch and with a bit more composure/luck we would of at least drew last night.
Dave Hornby had the pleasure of selecting the TFCSC MOTM and most of us were in agreement when he chose Martyn Andrews. A player that always gives it his all. Well done to Martyn and unlucky to Trafford. Stay positive!
Meeting/quiz
Just to remind you all that there is a supporters meeting this friday at the club house. Doors open at 7.30. There is a pub quiz at 9 which EVERYONE is welcome to!
So come down to shawe view this friday night and bring a friend/partner for some beers and a quiz.

Man of the Match v Stamford
It was hard to hide our disapointment after saturdays performance and many supporters could only think of one or two players that came out of the game with some positives! In the end the TFCSC MotM for the home game against Stamford went to Rory Fallon for a solid if unspectacular display. The MotM for this game was chosen by Ritchie 'I like to disagree with everything Karl Vaughan says'!
Onwards and upwards to the Chorley game.
