Congratulations to the mighty Alty on their promotion, enjoyed the game though it did take a lot out of me watching at home. Missed the kids being with me but we communicated during the game on Whatsapp. Did any of the players join the fans on returning?

Thought I would show some benefits I am looking forward to next season, as follows:-

1) Goals as they are scored on Sky Sports News
2) More general coverage on Sky Sports News
3) Live games on BT Sport
4) Playing Stockport over Christmas Period again - hopefully
5) Playing Wrexham again
6) More interest from Non League Paper and decent match reports - Hopefully
7) Bigger crowds at home
More games for southern based fans
9) Club keeping up with 5 year plan
10) Good feeling back again
11) Welcoming new signings, whoever they may be - want us to keep all current squad
12) Direct access to league football
13) Gradual move to full time football
14) Increased attraction to sponsors
15) More benefits to sponsors from advertising
16) Ground development plans more feasible with promotion
17) Hopeful further extension of Phil and Neil's contracts
18) Weymouth weekender
19) Enter FA Cup and FA Trophy at slightly later stages
20) Not having to play Barrow, but still a league higher.

Any more anybody?

21. Torquay weekender (finances permitting).

Basically, it's all gravy.

Icing on the cake 🎂 would be m*cc coming down and playing them again! 😉

Weymouth, Wealdstone, Yeovil and Altrincham.

Familiar names back in the same league. When was the last time all four played in the same league??

Plus a generally higher class of opposition, and hopefully referees???

 Presume when fans aloud back in all games will be segregated  and no alcohol sales also will there be a police presence?

The first season of the APL. We of course were champions and Weymouth second.   Somewhat poetic that we come up together!   Who were third?   Boston United!

The 1984/85 Gola League season, by my reckoning.

Worcester were 3rd weren't they?

Correct.

Boston United finished fourth.

22. We get to play Notts County (and exact some revenge for that FA Cup First Round defeat at Moss Lane in 1972).

I was there and it was never a pen in a month of Sundays! 😉

50 years of hurt (well near as dammit !) Turn the clock forward to the start of the 1981-2 season.

Alty kick off their third season in the Alliance Premier League as reigning champions two years running.

Notts County, in the 4th Division when they robbed us, have amazingly climbed into the 1st Division for the first time since 1925-6. They open up by beating reigning champions Aston Villa at Villa Park 1-0. Villa go on to win the European Cup.

Harrogate Town are in the Yorkshire League.......in its 2nd Division. They go on to be champions.

Nothing stands still in this crazy game that we all love so much !
