I am in no way racist so don't pipe up with that again. I am completely against the tiny majority that were yesterday and I like yourself were shocked by this.

So Silkman, your latest claim is that you do not discriminate against Baa Baa Black Sheep  

We've played Macc loads of times in recent years and to be fair they've never caused any problems at County or at their place, the last couple of times they have had about 10 to 15 daft kids tucked in behind the Police but even County's hoolie types just shrug their shoulders and laugh at them. They usually bring about 500 and around 485 of them are sound and just want to support their team, I like Macc and I always stay until late for a drink, the pubs are always full of County fans with no hint of trouble, let's not tar them all with the same brush.

If you had been on Stockport station at 6.15pm last night you would have had a different opinion. The last time I saw that many police at a train station was a London derby at the Den last season, as well as one occasion at Euston late one Saturday night coming back from Alty. What they sing about Stockport is on par with their paranoia with us. I am convinced the Police at Stockport were there for the protection of Macc fans and they were not being allowed into Stockport town. We never use to see many Macc fans as when the conference went national they were in the league below us, and like with Vics they were always obsessed with us being the bigger club.  I sympathise with County's plight as a club and with your fans, we have not an issue with Stockport and personally I would like to see you come right as soon as possible  - Macc can go the other way.
They only brought 400 yesterday, yet criticise us for taking 300 to their dive on a Tuesday night.

They were making life difficult for the Cops at Altrincham station. We boarded at Hale to avoid these morons. The cops cleared a carriage to accommodate this mouthy mob.  I have never seen so many Cops at Stockport Railway station. Both entrances were blocked by police and numerous cops on all platforms. The Alty police kept them on the Chester-Manchester train and they were still there when I boarded the Euston train (first stop Stoke). I don't think the Macc fans would have been allowed in to Manchester, considering all the noise they were making - although it was quite clear that they were all mouth. And most of them were probably too young to drink. And it was quite obvious that they were acting so stupidly because the police there would be obliged to protect them from any reception in Altrincham, Stockport or Manchester centres.

Barry Wood (Lancashire & England opening batsman).

He made one North West Floodit League appearance for Alty in the late 1960s.

That is on par with the question, Which former England international footballer later became a citizen of another country and represented that country at another sport?

I can see why some people's view is that Braintree should have walked off, but then the Conference would have no option but to award Guiseley a win.
It is not a Cup game that could be replayed as in the Arsenal v Sheffield United game when Kano scored.
If replayed Guiseley would have an opportunity to gain another 2 points.

Shocking sportsmanship by Guiseley, and this now sets the tone for every other dodgy club. It is no different to cases where people are allowed to legally take and keep money/things that don't belong to them.

I hope Guiseley don't stay up by a point - especially ahead of us.

On paper, Boreham Wood have the easiest run in for the last 6 games.
We need a couple of surprise wins desperately.

A bad two days overall as a club. Firstly the pessimistic view of our finances (although a genuine and honest plea for help), poor team performance combined with peeving off the same fans targeted to help,  by opening the old wound of molly cuddling soft away fans at the expense of our fans - especially from a club that has treated our fans badly in the recent past. We are no longer in the 1970's when provocative away fans got a good kicking, ran off, so problem quickly solved (I am not suggesting that this was right). We all make mistakes at work and in our lives, so it is not fair to keep having a pop at those that run and help the club. We are not going to progress by infighting and slating those Alty fans/directors that give their all for this club. We are not going to get extra help if those who help get criticised and ridiculed for doing so, whether on this forum or elsewhere. We are very lucky that this club is run by fans that have the club genuinely close to their hearts, and to be fair they give their all.

The reality also is that last season we were very fortunate with injuries and fewer postponements. We have not been so lucky this season and hopefully we can weather the storm. The club has tried to solve the problem by bringing in 4 loan signings, so they are not exactly doing nothing. One season of bad luck can cripple a club for years - Leeds United is a classic example. The club does listen to fans - borrowing those covers from LCCC is an example.

We all want the best for Alty and we all get disheartened and frustrated when things don't work or we don't win games that we expect to win or draw. We all think it unfair that we play by the rules while other clubs, such as Crawley progress. Life aint fair. From some of the stupid comments on this forum, you would think that the management and team deliberately sometimes set out to fail. However there have been also some good ideas such as some recent marketing suggestions posted.

Now is the time to get behind the team and behind the club and help where you can - Come on Alty!!!!!!
