Well said Andrew. There are still a few of us on here who were involved with SAFE and can vouch for the effort involved (while acknowledging that circumstances then were very different to now).
There’s a fine line between independence of the club and engagement with the club but I suspect there are sufficient motivated people to make it work.

Well volunteered

I thought as a full time club i would be able to contact them weekdays,between 0900 and1700.This is not the case,I have rung the club 3 times this morning to try and sort out my hospitality package i have won in Januarys draw.'Please leave your name and number and we will get back to you the next working day'.I live in Devon and need to book a hotel for the weekend and also sort out travel to Alty. I am trying to arrange it for the Solihul game on the 25th.
You're right, we should probably spend playing wage budget on having someone answer the phone at an empty stadium.

That’s a bit disingenuous, the bloke was only asking a question ffs, it could have been someone enquiring to spend some money on tickets or whatever. I’m sure all money for players is ring-fenced

He wasn’t just asking a question though, it was wrapped in a dig.

The point is these people don’t really exist do they?

We are searching for people to be offended on behalf of.

You mean like the Bromley fans sat in Kennedy cross? The volunteer who drove from Bradford before heading back the same way. The coach of Bromley fans sat at our ground?

Maybe we should all stay at home and wrap ourselves in cotton wool.

sh*t happens, it happened to me it happen to all of us many times. I didn't cry about and blame the very same volunteers you are championing and I certainly don't have an army of third parties crying for me on the internet.

Some people will keep digging to find an issue.

These hoards of people who live x miles away and would leave at y time…

I drove a 450 mile round trip and paid for a hotel. It’s just life.

Some brilliant names appear in the Scottish Cup every year , my favourites include Forres Mechanics , Bonnyrigg Rose , Auchinleck Talbot , Civil Service Strollers , Burntisland Shipyard and the wonderful Gala Fairydean  😃

FYI Bonnyrigg Rose are a second division league team now so you can hear them every week

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Fanatic Zone
« on: November 15, 2022, 07:12:25 PM »

the sad truth is the fan zone has been an unmitigated disaster from it's inception

From what was shared as the vision quickly became a nightmare

From the closure of the ground and lost revenue. The ongoing barriers around the ground from that issue . The inflating costs associated to the fan zone works. The way libero were cast aside. Then the subsequent works delivered in the area to give an intial capacity of
Agreed. It’s an unmitigated amateurish shambles. But don’t forget the current board are more interested in revenue streams than piss streams. Installing toilets yields no revenue. The Fanzone is yet another way of emptying football supporters’ pockets, the goal of our board. Surely if you want a good beer in a hospitable environment then go to a pub/ bar, don’t expect a football club to meet your needs - but this board will try and meet them on the cheap and to the detriment of supporters who are actually interested in football.

I will just say I’m glad the board are in charge and not you.

Full time usually needs more and better income streams. Maybe you prefer Hucknall Town and 458 but I don’t.
