A supporter- and fan-community nickname for Altrincham Football Club, a non-league English football club based in Altrincham, Greater Manchester. The term is typically used among fans, local media, and football communities familiar with the club. As with most club nicknames in English football culture, it functions as a shorthand that signals familiarity and belonging. Outside of football enthusiast circles in the north of England, the term is largely unknown.

The Alty faithful packed the ground despite the bitter January cold.
Origin: Clipped form of "Altrincham," following the very common English football fan convention of shortening club names or towns to create nicknames (cf. "Tranmere" → "Tranners," "Accrington" → "Accy"). Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
