Following a pitch inspection tonight's game at home to Stourbridge has had to be postponed because of a partly frozen playing surface. This decision comes despite hard work by the groundsman and volunteers to make the pitch playable. Our next scheduled game is at Shaw Lane AFC on Saturday.

I'm sure the ground staff worked hard but there were absolutely loads of cars at the ground today and it didn't seem to be the nursery. Seemed to be lads in Alty tracksuits knocking about. Could they not have helped?

Leaves us short on numbers at full back.

It really does depend where the interest is coming from though.

For example, sale sharks are looking for a new home. If they have been making enquiries how do you fancy playing second fiddle to a rugby club. I don't think it will be them because they are looking to own their own ground .

At the risk of distraction on an important thread, and presuming it wasn't a theoretical example, I can assure you 100% that Sale aren't looking to move from the AJ Bell. You can have Internet conjecture if you like but from the horses mouth they ain't looking to move.

In fairness, whilst the board should have been able to sort the Coalville debacle out (albeit there could be outside/police influence there that they haven't told us about for whatever reason) I'm not sure they have had much or any say in this.
I can't believe they had the final say as to whether they agree as if so they would have agreed to it much earlier

 SLA and Mansfield have found a loophole with regards to the replay date (which in itself raises integrity questions as to what Mansfield may have asked for in return!). Quite why it has to be called off already is a mystery because it may become a moot point by 3pm tomorrow? I'm sure the BBC bit is bollocks though as no reason the game can't go on at 7:45 as scheduled anyway.

Absolutely the saddest of sad news. Difficult to explain really, although Hash does a bit, but he and the rest of the team were heroes and we bonded with them largely unlike modern times, a real part of our youth and happier times has passed. Rest in peace Reidy

Just to add that I'm not being churlish and it's not pp fault that being top is par for what I expected, I feared it could be worse of course.

We have to get out of here and then take proper steps on mindset and infrastructure so that this can't happen again.

Chester have just signed their star striker, Jordan Archer (who was on the radar of a lot of league clubs in the summer).

That's got to be good news.

Good news for him, he's just put them one up 11 minutes into his debut.

Would play our strongest team (without risking injuries). Think this team is a momentum team, and we currently have it. Just a guess of course, but I wouldn't be writing games off with this team

Yeh I think there's some merit in this. I certainly think Ashton will be a useful barometer of where we are as they'll be a Test and won't roll over like a couple of teams had so far.

However, Saturday is a top of the table clash so I expect PP will err on the side of caution.

What's wrong with Hannigan now?...
