does anyone know if there is any radio coverage for today?
-
Looks like we are going 4-5-1 again with Lane holding and Col running the line on his own. I would have liked to have seen Senior start wide right instead of Toulson though! :-[

I agree. After a good start Toulson has gone a bit quiet of late.
Is Coburn in nets?

Coburn starts according to my correspondent at the game

Yeah Englands No 1 is between the sticks!

So are we defintely saying there is NO radio coverage?

the link is there for live commentary, and when you click on it the BBC radio player screen comes up but doesn't play anything. It might only be available in the BBC Radio Essex area.

It's a mistake, it's the result of the Crawley debacle the other night!

OK thanks, I found what you are talking about, but they have no live match audio from any games today, just match reports to follow. The link I think you are talking about is out of date (date on there says 28/9/2007) and the file no longer exists (hence the error).

30 mins gone ................BBC catch up!!
so it was bollocks on both counts !!

if you go to the live text page and click on Altrincham you still get the Crawley game text. If you click on Grays you get today's game. None of the Conference live audio links are working. Looks like they've got saturday kids running the show today.
-
one down
-
I have seen about 3 or 4 reports of shots by Grays on the text feed, yet the stats say 0 shots on or off target for them! My word the BBC is sh*t.
-
So now what? Playing one up front always gets found out eventually.
-
one down
Reels back in shock.
-
dam!
-
Come on Altys, still think we can get something here....
-
Awful marking apparently,now there's a shock!
-
i wonder if it was the ref what scored it
-
Go 4-4-2 NOW! Don't wait until there is about 15 mins left, we need a frigging win!!! We shouldn't be so negative against teams like Grays home or away if we want to stay up!

Really need something out of today.
Please go 4-4-2 and have a go. Onl the plus side we're generally better 2nd half for some reason (must be the half time team talk).

I don't think so. We are past the magic date when 5 bookings doesn't lead to suspension anymore

GH does not understand 4-4-2 away from home. In some ways I wish our approach at Torquay hadn't worked, because it has encouraged us to do it in every single game. Can anyone seriously see us scoring? Perhaps Mr. Woodward will take pity on us...
-
Bring Kieran Lugsden on.

Raf you should do a live broadcast from every away game ha!

No link works.

....and maybe that's a blessing.....although I don't really mean that would rather listen, no matter how painful the experience.

Totally agree, I can understand it at Torquay, but Grays is a game we should go out to win!! Not to shut up shop!
-
Would like to see us attack and go for it now 1-0 down
-
We are going down without so much as a whimper. One up front against Grays. At least we can't blame poor Joe today.

"Sound Of The Can Opener For The Worms Opening" ;D ;D ;D
-
We are too far into the season to play for safety first and hope for a draw. Draws are absolutely useless for us from hereon in, but I can't see Heathcote changing his tactics as he's too set in his ways. Think we really need to be more adventurous and this can be done with some degree of defensive work with a 4-4-2.
Looking bad for us really, but things can change. We need to start winning....and quickly.
-
not much happened first half then, shotton being playing up front apparently. cross came in and i think everyone was just stood according to mate at the game. could be worse though :-\
-
Teams like Grays see our teamsheet, guess our formation (I believe they'd even done this before today!) and think, 'this team aint going to score in a month of Sundays. Let's batter them from the outset, so we can relax later on.' It's all so predictably bollox.
-
If Altrincham can draw and Halifax lose today then both are on the same points. Who know's what other clubs might go into administration before the season's end.
-
who knows but we should have a go at grays now, nothing to lose

Laney off, Senior on, 4-4-2, it's a no brainer.

Look on the bright side. If we keep this team together next season we'll all have a wonderful time winning the majority of our games with a good chance of making the play-offs.

So we're playing 442 afterall. Tall bloke good in the air up front - worth a try and would certainly surprise Grays even after they saw our teamsheet!

Fabulous Bit Of Half Time Watching!!! Thanks

-
He'll bring Senior and Roca on when he's very, very desperate (probably when we are two down) and then come out and say, 'What do you expect us to do away from home against teams as well-resourced as Grays?' Everybody knows the mantra now by heart. I hate criticising a guy who has single-handedly produced miracles to get us into this league, but I think we've now seen enough. How predictable was the no shots at all statistic?
-
Shows how effective 4-4-2 can be if you've got a big pair up front.
-
I agree with quotes with regards to playing a defensive game, at this point in the season we should be going at teams and not just trying for a draw!
Why GH doesnt play Roca from the outset I dont know, he could just prove to be the sting in the tail!
He could have done the same with Logan and who knows!?
-
Farsley winning away at Salisbury with two up front!
-
Are we sure it's one up front from this distance without even biased radio coverage to base it on? Let's leave the dispair till we get reliable reports on what's actually happening.
Farsley one up >:(
-
Look on the bright side. If we keep this team together next season we'll all have a wonderful time winning the majority of our games with a good chance of making the play-offs.
How do we know it won't be :1-4-5-1 away at Blyth Spartans ( or even at home) ::) ::)

We need to sign Dolly Parton at once....

Vics winning with two up front!
-
Has anyone else noticed how little posession we've had all game!?
-
40% possession. No shots at all. One up front STILL. Cock!
-
Vics 2 up :( :(
-
Vics 2 up, Farsley one up, Alty 1 down. really not looking like a good day :'(
-
Vics winning with two up front!
Now 2 up with 2 up front.
-
Weymouth now have 12 games to play in 6 weeks. We need points in the bag to capitalise on the fact they not have the playing resources to overcome injuries and fatigue.

Trapdoor open as wide as is possible and we are dangling above it by a very thin thread. Will there be an AGM safety net in place to break our fall?

78:01
Shot by Colin Little (Altrincham) left-footed from right channel (35+ yards), missed left.
-
col has just hit one from over 35 yards out on his left foot accrording to the beeb, doesn't sound too hopeful.
-
Time for Mr. Woodward to remember that we are his friends OR for Col to become the first Alty player this season to score from his own half!
-
Are we aiming to emulate Forest Green's feat last Saturday of achieving no shots on target in 90 minutes?
-
Time for Mr. Woodward to remember that we are his friends OR for Col to become the first Alty player this season to score from his own half!
Never mind Mick Woodward appointing himself as the Grays manager, it's beginning to look like he could have picked himself to play in goal against us this afternoon and it wouldn't have affected the result!
-
Salisbury have scored at least!
-
Have we still got time to sign Dolly Parton on non-contract terms?
-
Throw the kitchen sink now!
-
Have we still got time to sign Dolly Parton on non-contract terms?
Yes.
But as she prefers 9 to 5, would she qualify as a part-time player?
-
Great post Cult! :)
-
A chance on 89 minutes! Does that count as a shot on target?
-
Lost AND DOWN

All over ... 1-0

Lost AND DOWN
We're not down yet, attitude like that isn't going to help us stay up to be honest!
-
Lost AND DOWN
I wouldn't say that yet. Only a point behind Farsley and Halifax and although they have games in hand who knows what dramas could unfold between now and the end of the season. A season in the BSN would be good fun though Look at all the people we'd be playing.

Why would it be fun? Surely as a club we want to move forward and be the best we can be? I'm dumbfounded by people who 'wouldn't mind' going down, absolutely dumbfounded!!!??!
-
What a pleasure it is to get beaten by a great club like the mighty vics, knowing it adds to your misery!!!!

Realistically, Tuesday was the end for us. Can we stay ahead of Vics and get 4th from bottom? Even that's looking quite bleak at the moment.
-
Lost AND DOWN

No, but I reckon it's what most of us are at least secretly thinking. At the very least the situation looks dire.....whilst there are games left there is hope, however forlorn.
Support when at the games is what is required, but that doesn't stop us having our moments of despair whilst not there (and for those of us who can only follow on the net it's even worse...IMHO).

It certainly will be if we go down - no radio, no southern games not even dodgy live text updates :(
-

You're not making sense Robbie, your coming down with us, it's Farsley who've put us in a pit of despondency. Now hurry along and beat Weymouth on tuesday for us, there'll be more Alty fans thanVics at that game judging by todays pathetic 585! :D
-
Three home wins absolutely essential and at least one, possibly two away wins from Burton, Ebbsfleet, Aldershot, Kiddy and Weymouth. Tall order I think!
-
Looking very grim now.....light at the end of the tunnel is getting fainter all the time :(
-
Longman, for me football isn't a my dick's bigger than yours competition. I'd rather be winning at Southport, Hyde, Droylsden, Stalybridge and Telford than losing at Oxford, Exeter and Stevenage. You play at the highest level you can, but Altrincham face being relegated from the Conference for the third year in succession. Doesn't that tell you something?

Nor is it for me, it's a game of pride and effort, to give your maximum effort and have pride in being the best you can be! To have the attitude of "oh it will be quite nice winning against teams we know we can beat in the league below" is a defeatist attitude, it amazes me how as a fan you can want this? ??? :-\

Seriously, on what evidence do you base your assumption that we would be winning away fixtures at the likes of Southport, Telford and Stalybridge?
By your logic, we would be better off playing in the Wythenshawe Sunday League, where we might win the odd game and you wouldn't have to travel far to watch us.
Clown.
-
I want us to stay up, but I can understand where UC is coming from on this. Can we really say that it has been fun playing in this league. Even Gh has said that he has not enjoyed it. The idea that we might actually win from time to time and for the game to be played somewhere we can actually get to, is strangely appealing. Nevertheless, like Longman says, as a club we must strive to play at as high a level as possible - even if that means we will never be competitive. Would Derby have swapped playing Man Utd today, for Preston?
-
I didn't say we'd be guaranteed winning at those places, but i'd rather watch the team winning than losing. If relegation means the club finds it's true competitive level then so be it.
-
Yet again, "Were white and were red, were going oxford instead, cos we don't want to go to Barrow."
I think that song sums up our attitude does it not?
-
UC if we won at the clubs you mentioned and you clearly state you would rather be winning than losing then surely we would be too good for the league below and get promoted again ???? :-\
-
I didn't say we'd be guaranteed winning at those places, but i'd rather watch the team winning than losing. If relegation means the club finds it's true competitive level then so be it.
But what would be the point of winning games in the BS North then?
Would we decline to be promoted if we won the league or the play-offs?
-
You might not get a choice.
-
And as for finances the club is in a better financial position being in the conference 'struggling' than being mid table in the BSN

You're being pedantic. Let me try and explain this more simply. I would gain more pleasure watching Altrincham win a BSN game at Stalybridge than losing a BSP game at Oxford. Got it now?
-
For those of you thinking we will be better off going down just take a look at the bsn table the likes of tamworth who we could,nt beat are stuck in the bottom half along with boston [although thats what they deserve].there are no gaurantees of ever getting back up.i would much rather be picking scraps up in this league and hanging by the skin of our teeth than going down.that said i think gh needs to take a good look at his selections and tactics as has already been mentioned anywhere else and he would be out of a job.
-
I don't think anyone has said the club would be better off going down.
-
Who says we'd win all these games if and probably when we get relegated. Look at Tamworth this season. They got relegated at the end of last season and have struggled in the bottom half of the Conf North this season.
-
Early news of next week's team formation at Aldershot :
ONE > TEN
No strikers required as we will be going all out for a draw. >:( >:( >:(
-
But we would still lose games in the BSN so instead of prefering to beat Stalybridge than lose to Oxford I would rather lose to Oxford than Hyde, cos it would happen !!
-
Wasn't it at Aldershot two seasons ago that Altrincham parked the bus across the goal?
-
i didnt say they had UC I was merely pointing the financial situation out
-
As a club, it is better we stay up. As fans and as individuals, we are entitled to crave for local games against traditional rivals. That said, I hope and pray (more appropriate) that we stay up. A complete contradiction I know, but middle ground at least! ;)
-
Taking Halifax, Farsely and Northwich out of the mix, Weymuff are 1 point behind with 4 games in hand. Not unreasonable to think they'll get no more than 3 points which puts them 2 points infront level games. Who wouldn't fancy going there last game of season needing a win to stay up?
Lots of points at stake between now and then but I'd take that senerio now.
-
Northwich WILL catch us up. I dream of a scenario leaving us needing a win at Weymouth, but we'll probably both be down by then.

You play at the highest level you can, but Altrincham face being relegated from the Conference for the third year in succession. Doesn't that tell you something?
Thankfully that theory is not shared by many people I know.
The Conference North is a complete abyss. Its under the radar and a no-mans land.
I reckon its you and Dave Birch who will be pleased to see us there.

IT'S REGIONAL FOOTBALL!!
When people ask you who you support and you say Alty they asay, who do you really support? I say, well ALty, it's a proper football club like York, Stockport, Preston, Cambridge whatever.
I can't say that when we play regional football however. Whoever is happy in the BSN is a f**king idiot frankly.

Look at our average attendances over the last three years compared to the one year we spent in Conf North. That tells you all you need to know about the appeal of Conf North football.

Don't tell me you really want that because that would just be silly!

Maybe not the words I'd use, but certainly the sentiments I agree with
