I've not been back long and have only just calmed down. How we managed to lose that I'll never know.

My first trip to Tamworth and it'll be my last. sh*t ground (I honestly can't believe it's allowed in the league - it's not even good enough to be deemed tinpot), sh*t fans (I was verbally abused by some middle-aged bloke who shouted in my face "F*ck off back to Manchester, you f*cking wankers"), sh*t game (I really hope we never have to play them again - has there *ever* been a decent game between us?).

Poor, poor performance by us, but we shouldn't have lost as Tamworth were just as woeful. We should have been able to hold on until the end without cocking it up.

We couldn't.

I don't mind their ground actually, the away end is a bit odd and the views aren't great, but it does the job.

Much prefer it to somewhere with far superior facilities such as Rushden.

sh*t fans (I was verbally abused by some middle-aged bloke who shouted in my face "F*ck off back to Manchester, you f*cking wankers")

I think some Tamworth fans today showed themselves up quite a bit.

To take the piss out of a person for most of the second half who is obviously 'not quite all there' demonstrates a distinct lack of tact and class. It was almost cringeworthy.

The scenes following the winner were pathetic, I hope the young lad responsible realises running and pushing an elderly man in the back is the behaviour of a moronic oik.

I've just about calmed down now.

Firstly the lad (looked about 25) who jumped on Dennis 'sback was left in doubt of how we felt of his actions, as I found him and let him know. 

To be fair to him he apologised and it was a stupid act.  Seemed he was surrounded by likeminded people though.

Whole situation should never have happened.  Why was the game not segregated?  Easy to do there, straight out of the exit and to your cars or coaches.  Simple.  I don't think Tamworth fans like Alty and I certainly don't like Tamworth since Coopers comments on our 18 point deduction.

What woudldhave happened if it had gone to penalties?  GUaranteed trouble.

When I saw Tamworth in the league I said they were one of the worst teams I have ever seen at Moss Lane.  And I stand by it.  We were poor today, they were were worse.  We have somehow lost.

no finishing 17th would not be ok for me, but it would be better than winning the trophy and being relagated, surely you realise that playing another possible 8 games would cripple our squad, already fighting week in week out against full time opposition and i might add doing well, but that would change with the extra physical exertion required for a strong cup run. I would have loved nothing more than a bender in the capital topped off with an alty trophy victory to bring back the glory days of the 70's and 80's, but is just not viable this year.

Next year with more funds to spend on the squad due to our debts being clear and TV money coming from setanta yes a trophy run would be nice and greatly enjoyed. but i'd rather see us secure these 1000+ crowds and TV money before I worry about how our team are doing in non essential competitions, be it FA Trophy, Cup, Senior Cup.

Any road woking next week i think we owe them a stuffing they robbed us @ our place earlier this season.mabe that could be the elusive first away win???

Agreed! Was it 1991 when a pile up of fixtures cost us the title & automatic promotion?

We've lost the match, its very disappointing......

We are in a league we have no right to be in...
We are more than holding our own in that league....
We are almost out of debt.....
We have a stable & enthusiastic squad who want to play for Alty.....
We have a first rate board......
We have a first rate coach......
We have a good ground and very professional set up....

Thats 2 negatives and how many positives????

Lets just get on and support our team!

Wanting to be the best you can be isn't not supporting your team.

You are absolutely right, I just meant "Lets put this behind us and count our blessings"

To be honest ,I thought you where better side today,but you seemed to switch off for last 10 minutes ,didn't see the incident regarding fan ,but unfortunately we have our fair share of morons,can't understand why there was no segregation today ,but I enjoyed standing behind the goal in the 2nd half for the first time in 3 years,anyway best of luck lads for the rest of the season ,as for us ! under Cooper we will be relegated.

Didn't UC say he'd prefer to be in the Conference North?  What ambitious about a statement like that?

Yes I did say that. But I also said I wouldn't welcome seeing us relegated. I said I sometimes wish we'd not been promoted as it was too soon. I'd rather watch a competitive team playing each week in the Conference North than a desparate scratch side playing in the Conference. A winning Conference North team would possibly be better equiped to mount a cup run than a losing Conference one (although Tamworth do their best to confound that theory). I'm old enough to remember seeing Altrincham win the FA Trophy at Wembley when it seemed to matter. I'm dispappointed so many people on here seem to accept today's defeat with such resignation.
