Halifax top/second in the Conference and don't need Altrincham support.
Altrincham 12th in Northern Premier, after first loss in five league games, do need your support.
Whilst I get the frustration at where Alty are, we are where we are at this moment in time???
Choose which avenue you decide!
This has nothing to do with supporting the team, and several hundred have chosen which avenue already. Why is everything deemed a personal attack on the team or a personal attack on the club or a personal attack on the chairman when something is highlighted or pointed out or people are critical on here? We were told of regular updates in progress of share sales, All we are hearing is people being told there is no rush to sell. Well attendances are down, supporter generated income is down, we're three wins from the top spot already. We might have a competitive budget but we should have "the" budget at this level of football. My full support is with the team and players, but we need to sure this club up, and get this club up, no time to rest. Halifax were a poorer outfit than us when we both went down. We can't do much with a three man board of directors and a few sponsored walks. Times need to change, not on the back of an absolute hiding at Workington, but on the fact we shouldn't be here in the first place as mentioned elsewhere it should not be accepted, not be looked at as oh well we gave it a go, we need to be straight out of it and need a strong board and strong funding to achieve that
Spot on. It has nothing to do with not supporting the team. There is no correlation between people crying out for change and being deeply unhappy with the current set up, and anyone not wanting us to win games of football. Off the field, this is the best chance we will have to change the future course of the football club in living memory and, as pointed out above, that definitely isn't an issue with the current playing side. It goes far beyond that. And Pete's right, we need to make sure this opportunity isn't wasted by the current board's reluctance to shout about it publicly.
And on the subject of people staying away from games. If we carry on the current average home attendance then the price of the status quo is that we will lose over £100k through the gate over the current season vs last season (and that doesn't include the vast lost associated commercial revenue or conference funding). Sobering numbers.
Clearly some of that can be attributed to playing at the lowest level in our history, but also worth remembering that we were turning out over 1,000 home fans for a dead rubbers a few months ago, and the football is much better this season (and the admission price fair). I'm not even convinced we need immediate wholesale boardroom changes to get a lot of the stay-away fans back, just an indication from the club that we are shouting to the world about being up for sale, and a sense that the current lot are doing all they can to advance the sale of the football club.
But, as it stands, the silence from the football club is shamefully deafening.
