Looking forward to my first game of the season. Hoping Fitzpatrick is available.

                  Thompson

Senior  Mullarkey Hannigan  Fitzpatrick

             Moult     Furman

  Mooney    Kosylo    Colclough

                 Dinanga

Subs : Bunney, Pringle, Hancock, Peers Leitch-Smith

Alty 1-0 NC (Kosylo).

Never know if its a good thing to have a 2 week match break or not, but it is what it is. Would take a draw as long as we give KL an arse kicking on Tuesday

[Toff Apple]

I think its going to be really tough, deffo take a draw,  KL tuesday more winnable

There’s a preview show of Saturdays game love on YouTube at 7pm

I wouldn’t bother this ‘Altrincham expert’ is f**king clueless

Old wooden mainstand with about 500 seats?

I don't think the 2-week break would have done us any favours, but I'm glad we'll get some minutes under our belts again before Kings Lynn - which we should be disappointed not to take 3 points from, and I wouldn't want to go into that one totally cold.

Free hit on Saturday as long as we don't embarrass ourselves - which I don't think we will.

That's how I'm looking at this one, too.

[Bangor on Dee Robin]

Free Hit ? Lets go and approach every game as winnable. We're not canon fodder.

God love us for being ambitious - most predictions each week are for an Alty win - but being superstitious about it, this team has always tended to surprise us when we don't necessarily expect it. So let's wait and see.

Notts will be up there in the top reaches of the playoffs (if not the title) and aren't what we're measured on (yet).

[Saughall Robin]

Marple is right. To prosper in the short term, we need to be winning games like Tuesday. Games against the big players and spenders like on Saturday, whilst they would be great to win, are a free hit.
In many ways a win on Saturday and a loss on Tuesday would be worse than the other way round.
Win Tuesday and a point tomorrow is my hope.

[MarpleAlty]

At this level we've always tended to have a bit of an early season marquee win in us, in front of a bumper crowd...

I can recall Bristol Rovers, Tranmere and Cheltenham from recent times.

Hopefully tomorrow can be another big occasion like those were.

[Alty Dave]

Having not played for 2 weeks may affect us, hopefully not, the key use of the correct substitutions will make a difference as legs get weary.

It would be nice to give Notts there first defeat, but would be more than happy with a point.

Imho there's no 'free hit' in a league match

It's a free hit in the sense that we're not expected to get anything out of it so if we do (and I sincerely hope we can) it would be a bonus.
How many of us really thought we'd get a win at Torquay?

[One Foot in the Grave]

How many of us really thought we'd get a win at Torquay?

Certainly not me - either this season or last season !

I know form lines don't necessarily work out in football, but it's worth noting that Notts County only drew at Weymouth....and so did Dover who we've already beaten. We're perfectly capable of taking a point from this, and with the breaks we could even nick a win.
