Lack of ball boys = loss of entertainment and points..

On a day like today when one side is just not interested in even getting the ball for a throw in a team of ball boys would maintain the teams momentum and put pressure on the opposition.
...and make us look less tinpot as a club..

I take your point - it would have helped - but doubt the ballboys would have helped us defend any better today

Snork did you enjoy watching 22 players standing still while the ball sat in a puddle 20 yards away by the advertising hoardings for probably 10 mins out of the 90 today?

It's a valid point. We could have had the ball in play for an extra 2-3 minutes with ball boys. Might not have affected the result, but it would have sharpened up the game.

10 mins?? A bit OTT but I get your point jezza. I presume the ball boys have gone the same way as the stewards??

I do think that given the amount of junior teams playing under the Altrincham name we can't provide this service
