I'm going - is anyone else?

[Teasierbeaver]

Down and Out. Today will be the lowest point in the clubs history.

But will it get lower?

[Timperley The Best]

Going purely on the basis of it being near and I've not been before.

[Mrs Warbouys]

I drove to Torquay on my own on a Tuesday night at a similar stage in similar circumstances last season. I'll be brutally honest, I wouldn't go today if it was in my Kitchen. For a club of our standing to be relegated without a whimper with a month to spare from this absolutely woeful league is absolutely astounding. This could have been remedied months ago, it even wasn't lost in January. What the club needs going forward is clear hardnosed business clarity for the benefit of the football club that supersedes everything else, emotional or otherwise. Nothing is going to change our fate now. There will doubtless be recrimination, but what we need after the initial (and perfectly legitimate) out pouring of grief is a resolve that things must change, not just lip service and pats on the head. This must NEVER happen again

But I've a horrible feeling it'll STILL get worse before it either gets better, or - God forbid - we fold.

[Timperley The Best]

According to altrincham today gh has left the club

Sadly that is probably true. Every week seems to bring about a new low and it's hard to see the process stopping.

Like Hughesy, I'm not going today. But largely I'm not going because I don't think I can trust myself to hold it in. We're going to get relegated in front of 2,000 people at Salford City to a league that we fought like cornered tigers to avoid because we knew how much it would kill the club. 2,000 at Salford City, showing how trendy non league football has become and what you can do with drive and ambition and investment, while I'm supppsed to be impressed by Grahame and 29 others doing a sponsored walk.

Well I'm not. Take a good look around there and resolve to go and market this club properly with the long term aim of getting in the football league to galvanise the club and the town. Not floating up and around the conference north with our heads down not saying boo to a goose. It doesn't work, spent a decade of my life helping this club so it would push on andcwe just won't. Don't say it can't be done or it's pie in the sky. It's only that way with the current wet soft mindset or within the framework of GR staying in charge. 4,500 people were interested enough to stick their heads in to see our play off final.

And even more than being frustrated, I'm ashamed, absolutely ashamed that we could let this happen and flabbergasted that people would continue this charade. But so ashamed, I'll not get over this even if we've won the evo stik by Xmas (we won't) and so angry that others don't feel that shame.

So no, after seeing us relegated against rushden Kiddy Aldershot Weymouth Eastbourne and the others, no I won't be there this time.

And are you f**k staying on as Chairman of my football club Grahame. Don't be ridiculous, the majority of the fan base have had enough. What you can do is start to make moves to find genuine interested parties, point out the good work you've done in the past and the potential we have in the future and get us moving again. Difficult I know, and heart breaking I dare say, but do the right thing

Absolutely nailed it.

More expansive and correctly articulated than I managed, played mate spot on.

[Alty Bri]

Oddly enough, despite the obvious lack of forwards, todays starting X1 ain't too bad.

[robininstockport]

Hannigan lasted 30 mins.

Wonder goal from Jones

0-1 ht

[Mrs Warbouys]

Have many turned up for the wake?

[Mausoleum Alty]

Hannigan lasted 30 mins.

Wonder goal from Jones

0-1 ht

I do hope Hannigan terminates his contract by mutual consent in May.
