Altrincham FC First Team / LIVE STREAMING
« on: January 02, 2022, 10:56:51 PM »
We can't rule out the eventual possibility of finishing the season behind closed doors. Last season's temporary relaxation of the rules with a cost less than standard admission worked quite well.
The rules against live streaming are there to protect clubs from loss of revenue. But what if they could actually GAIN revenue from such an arrangement ?
Wrexham sold out their allocation, but I'm prepared to bet a lot of their fans would have paid a premium to watch the game and not have to travel.
I'd happily pay extra to watch matches streamed from down South, because my dodgy back won't stand hours on a coach. Am I alone ? What do others think ?

Altrincham FC First Team / The elephant in the room
« on: December 28, 2021, 05:25:20 PM »
We're all convinced that relegation isn't a threat. However, while Dover and Kings Lynn look a good bet to go, that third drop slot is occupied by Weymouth, who are only 10 points behind us with 2 games in hand. Of the six teams between us and them, five have 2 games hand. We've only picked up 7 points from our last 11 league games, 3 of them from one match.
I still think we're "too good to go down" but it wouldn't be the first time we've imploded after a decent start to the season.
I honestly believe we could be back in National North unless this culture of losing is stopped very quickly. There are two important areas to address :
1. We need somebody to put away the chances we create.
2. We must address the regular concession of goals from set pieces.
Come on lads - for God's sake prove me wrong.

Short term loan to Kidderminster. It can't do him any harm I suppose.

Altrincham FC First Team / Grimsby Town away game
« on: December 23, 2021, 11:31:33 AM »
This is scheduled as an evening fixture on Tuesday February 22nd.
Since we're both out of the FA Trophy, I wonder if they'd fancy switching it to Saturday January 15th ?

17 year old Youth team keeper goes on loan to Colne, and marks his debut with a clean sheet as they win 1-0 at home to Trafford. Well done Ryan !

Gone on loan to FC United "to get match fit." I hope this isn't another Sean Williams move....

I'm guessing the 3rd round draw is on Monday. Does anyone know what time it's scheduled for ?

Altrincham FC First Team / Chesterfield Match Thread
« on: November 21, 2021, 08:32:34 AM »
Despite their manager wringing his hands in woe about their injury problems, the Spireites haven't lost since September 28th, and their record since then is 7-2-0 with a goals record of 23-5. They've only conceded more than once on a single occasion during this run.
This is a tough one for us, and if we can take a point it'll be a good achievement.

Altrincham FC First Team / Stockport County

In the light of last night's pitch invasion, one wonders whether Stockport Council will be questioning Health & Safety at Edgeley Park.

Altrincham FC First Team / Forthcoming fixtures

Cult suggests on another thread that we should consider asking Southend to reverse our forthcoming game to Roots Hall. He makes an excellent point, and I'd further suggest we approach Bromley on the same basis
This would give the club a full six undisturbed weeks to sort out the problems before we entertain Wrexham and Stockport after Xmas. We absolutely MUST have everything sorted by then.

Altrincham FC First Team / Solihull Moors match thread
« on: October 24, 2021, 08:49:26 PM »
This will be quite a test. After getting thrashed at Dagenham, they've righted the ship to such an extent that they've run up five consecutive clean sheets. However, they've also only managed to score five goals, so BT Sport customers are unlikely to be in for a goalfest.
Theoretically, it's got goalless draw stamped all over it.

Altrincham FC First Team / Anthony Wright RIP
« on: October 22, 2021, 05:45:27 PM »
Passed away aged only 41. I did wonder what was wrong when he suddenly stopped our games on "Words With Friends" about two weeks ago. I occasionally met him on the Chester train out of Piccadilly on his way home from work in Town. Very sad news.
