Altrincham FC First Team / Re: ground safety work
« on: November 17, 2021, 01:35:33 PM »Why that led to the whole golf road end needing shutting, I’ve no idea
Once inspectors attend a site due to a potential safety issue, they quite naturally start sniffing around and looking for other things. The worrying thing for me is that once an area has been deemed unsafe, it would require a very brave individual indeed to allow it to reopen unless the proper remedial work has taken place and been inspected. My fear, now this can of worms has been opened, is that it could potentially be a very long time and a whole lot of £££ before we are operating at anything like full capacity again. Whoever started this sh*tstorm knew that this would be the case.

Crowdfunding has worked well for us previously, but what's needed, with extreme urgency, is details about the exact works required and the timescales involved. This is a dire situation, it really is.

Once the Council/HSE start to take an interest in an area/facility, they generally leave no stone unturned, hence the extent of the closures within the stadium. The only surprise for me is that this didn't happen sooner.
It would be good to know more specific details about the required remedial works, if it can be communicated to us.

Looks a bit better here...
I showed these photos to my Dad as he lived in Kirkby many, many years ago. Apparently these two photos are of different places, one being the football ground and the other being Kirkby Sports Stadium, which was apparently involved in some kind of political controversy.

The ground is tired and I'm not overly surprised by this turn of events. On the plus-side, we have been allowed to continue hosting games, albeit with restrictions in place. When the perimeter wall collapsed at Runcorn in the 90's, they were forced to play games elsewhere until the matter was resolved.
Safety first and foremost and let's hope the issues get resolved quickly.

I can see this going to a replay. It's never easy at Southport and they will be right up for it.

It's a long season ahead and don't forget how badly we dropped off in the second half of last season. The depth of the squad will be of the utmost importance, especially if we get more injuries/suspensions etc.

I don't really think it's a game where we should be setting up with two defensive midfielders. We need to be on the front foot from the off.

I was hoping to make the short trip to Dagenham for this one, but I'm going to a wedding on Saturday, so won't be able to go. Fingers crossed for another big performance, though.

Bill made it clear in another thread that cash payment on the turnstiles was intended to remain, but that the club favoured a move towards as many people as possible buying tickets in advance.

Yes, that is not a lot to ask, really.
