Title: Altrincham beat Alfreton 2-0
Post by: Steve from Sale on November 26, 2017, 11:43:45 AM
.....and that is all the non-league paper had to say about our win yesterday.

That paper is a waste of £1.50, I wanted to read the report on the game yesterday, and all we got was the above line in the FA Trophy round-up.

I will be emailing the paper in no uncertain terms. Anybody else want to they can do so at  nlp@greenwaypublishing.co.uk

Stop me now if you all found anything further on the game.

I gave up on it years ago

The internet has surpassed it.

They were inaccurate ceefax detailed reports at best.

I think the size and historic records of us and Alfreton plus our current league positions meant yesterday’s result didn’t go down as a big shock for most people which perhaps explains the non report.

We could win the bloody trophy and be fortunate to get a decent review

Were not Southern based which always seems a handicap in my eyes.

The BBC are not much better

It could have been worse....they might have interviewed our chairman.

Steve's original point is correct as the coverage was very poor, although it can hardly be southern bias as Bognor Regis Town and Eastbourne Borough, for example, received a similar lack of coverage and they are both in a higher division than us, don't forget.

I suppose they could interview our chairman about that....
