Everybody should boycott this game. The message just might get home. I don't give a flying f**k what side is put out, or what the result is.

Nuneaton will not score more than one. Nor will we.

Gut feel is one all.

Att. 72,428 officially.

The attendance will be 700+.

The away fixture earlier in the season was a right barrel of laughs. Hobson and Hattersley at centre half, Charlie Joyce sent off early on. I'd almost forgotten about it.

0-0 again.

Will Clee be fit to play this evening though?

According to John Laidlar's matchday updates last Saturday: "Nicky Clee was now added to the injured list (ligaments)."

I see that this evening's scheduled league fixture between Stalybridge Celtic and Harrogate Town has been postponed owing to a waterlogged pitch, so a victory over ailing Nuneaton Town (who have just sold their leading goalscorer) would see us claw our way off the foot of the league table once again.

Judging by the state of their pitch during the rugby league match played on it last weekend, it may be some time before they play another home fixture.

Starting without a striker on the pitch is totally unacceptable. I know Reeves is totally out of sorts and Owens is a big lumbering idiot but at least show a bit of intention!

Surely you all know that we shouldn't even be competing with teams as huge as Nuneaton. They are way above our ambitions and we are not fit to lick their boots.

Outstanding!

I'm so very glad I paid £14 to watch, in the words of the Chairman, "signs that a recovery may be finally starting to take shape." Oh, so very glad. You all missed out on witnessing first hand those green shoots flying up from out of the mire.

I'm glad things are finally taking shape.... I haven't seen Altrincham play well since 14th November 2015, and I've seen a lot of matches and still we are bumbling along with cheery smiles, everything's good. That tonight was a snapshot of the future. 450 people ratlling around a football league graded stadium with miserable faces waiting to go home. They were toss, we were more toss. Anyone left with blinkers on remove them before we fall off the cliff.

Yet another hugely dispiriting experience.

Any chairman who possessed even a modicum of integrity would realise that their time is up, having surveyed both that moribund team and such a meagre number of spectators in the stadium.

Looking at Gainsborough's seven remaining league fixtures, you wouldn't fancy them to add too many points to their current tally:


Saturday    25/03/2017    Gainsborough Trinity    vs    Darlington 1883
Saturday    01/04/2017    Chorley    vs    Gainsborough Trinity
Saturday    08/04/2017    Gainsborough Trinity    vs    Stockport County
Friday    14/04/2017    Gainsborough Trinity    vs    Salford City
Monday    17/04/2017    Brackley Town    vs    Gainsborough Trinity
Saturday    22/04/2017    Gainsborough Trinity    vs    Kidderminster Harriers
Saturday    29/04/2017    FC United Of Manchester    vs    Gainsborough Trinity


Which makes it all the more galling that we have somehow contrived to donate six points to them this season, including that abject 3-2 home defeat back in January.
