The Bulls travel to Altrincham for only the second time in the Conference, and will be looking to pick up their first win against Graham Heathcote's men.
A disappointing 0-0 draw in September at Edgar Street, with Heathcote's touchline antics antagonising many in the stands, followed up a 2-2 draw in the 1999/2000 season at Edgar Street. The only Conference trip to Moss Lane saw Alty winning 2-1 in November 1999.
Alty are safe from relegation - pending legal action. While the FA cleared them of wrongdoing in the James Robinson case, the Conference are still consulting their lawyers and Alty could lose all the 18 points gained while Robinson was in the team. However, whatever the Conference's decision, Alty retain the right of appeal to the FA suggesting that no action will be brought.
Alty are believed to be operating on the lowest budget in the Conference, and have performed admirably this season. Their 4-2 win at Dagenham, when the Bulls couldn't score except for a penalty, outlines their ability.
