Horrible day to be an exile. I'll be chewing my fingernails off as well as working from home (boo).
Still, thankfully we have Radio Robins ;D
The range of possible situations/emotions at the end of the day is incredible. We could be in with a great chance of survival going into the final two games, one of which is at home to Eastbourne. We could also be relegated today with an unfavourable set of scores. We could also be somewhere in between.
Come on lads!
-
Setting off now to put the flags up come on you reds
-
Just about to leave... It's now or never Lads
Do us proud
-
Just going to do another poop!
-
WHEN I GET HOME IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES IT WILL BE LUNCH(HER INdoors will have it ready)Then it will be laptop set up in the garden and i will spend the afternoon on a sun lounger listening to the game.
-
I've secured the unbeaten parking spot. The unseasonal scarf is here.
I just hope that these welsh visitors are slightly less agressive than the last lot.
-
Just seen brads and trucker quaffing jaeger outside the bridge, good lord!
-
Just setting up, should be online in ten - www.radiorobins.com
-
online and all fine here in sunny devon
-
Radio Robins loud & clear ;D
-
As strong a line-up as we could have hoped for, with the exception of Dootson instead of Coburn.
-
Come on Alty!
-
1 down
-
:(
-
FFS! >:(
-
Gawd. What a terrible start.....
-
They don't sound very confident today - nerves getting to them I think
-
Might as well just go for it now.......
-
sat in sunshine with athunder storm going on,wifes taking the washing in,hopefully will hold off to half time.We seem to lag ideas at the moment
-
cambridge down to ten men, sounds like we are getting murdered though, they need to harden up, and show some bollocks, my pals at the match say we havent turned up at all...
-
2 down, no pride
-
Feck...... Got it all to do now!
-
34 listeners on Radio Robins, most probably depressed :(
-
>:( >:( >:(
-
Im in the inlaws garden in weymouth listening to it, the rest of the guests at the bbq are listening in amazment at how bad our defending sounds. A whole new defence needed whatever level we are at, it was obviouls williams would have second season syndrome and joseph is sh*t aswell, i dont care if hes had five or six decent games, shipped them both out...
-
Reevesy.... :-[ Ever get that sinking feeling..... :'(
-
too miserable to post anything meaningful!
-
Good on you Simon ...... Looking forward "The greatest comeback of all time" ......
-

sound likes the team
-
Baynes hauled off before half time. Sums his worth up pretty well.
Miraculous recovery required. It's football, you just never know. I'm feeling pretty depressed though :(
-
They don't sound very confident today - nerves getting to them I think
i wonder what the excuse is for the rest of the games ?
Its depressing here awful first half
-
if results go right with other teams,we can still lose today and stay up,its a big ask but it can still be done,lets see how they shape up second half
-
Good on you Simon ...... Looking forward "The greatest comeback of all time" ......
Heard that as well! "Clutching at straws" is the phrase that comes to mind :-[
-
radio robins want us to enjoy the second half... today is about doing our duty.. I don't think enjoyment can come into it
-
not watching or listening to alty these days
-
see you all at gigg lane next year
-
Kett 1 FGR 0
-
Conners off for Beesley?
-
Really having a go now, too late I fear.....
-
We need to score soon. If we can pinch a goal I reckon there's still a chance we'll get a point out of this.
-
3 down
-
Well that's that then.
-
All over now >:(
-
feel like crying to be honest
-
Even Simon, who always seems optimistic, sounds resigned now. Some passionate referee abuse from Mr Flynn in the background...
-
Wouldn't you think that in a game which is an absolutely must not lose that any team would have the guts and wherewithal to keep the other side out, at least for a good while. Obviously I'm not there but it seems like to me that many players are resigned to their fate.
-
Kettering 2-1 FGR

Steve, my thoughts exactly.....
-
Port one up, switch off the lights
-
Just left ourselves too much to do after a terrible start. Barring some kind of miracle lets come back, dust off, consolidate in BSN next season and see where we are this time next year.

sounds like ken himself is needed up front

going to get a beer i think

I don't think "consolidate" is the right word necessarily. Whilst I don't think we'll go up we definitely need to be doing everything in our power to aim for promotion.
If we even hint at trying to stand still we'll get trampled on and be playing in the evo-stik league before we know it.
I'm so depressed at the moment. :(
-
1-3 Johnson

1-3

H, go and get three more beers rightaway!

Miserable result but good commentary today on Radio Robins - thanks lads
57 listeners

-
just got in after miserable morning and this hasn't helped, was planning to go to last day match but not going to bother if we're already down - it's a long way for a wake :'(
-
With Halifax and FSCUM coming up that is two more big fish.
-
Aye thanks for the commentary
that goal might help our goal difference :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
-
Yep, good commentary.
Depressing result, we're all but down, but we have to keep plugging away whilst there's a mathematical chance.
-
My source at the game says it's been another total no-show today.
I'm sorry but the general lack of fight in recent weeks has been nothing short of a disgrace.
-
Kettering game just finished at 2-1
-
I left a little after we conceded our third...okay I feel a bit bad about that, but I am just sick of it. I'm still going to Grimsby even though we're doomed but it was such a shame to see so many terrible performances and Connors was a total let down.
Absolutely gutted.
-
Sounded like Newport were a class above us in both quality and determination.
Hoping for a miraculous resurrection of the team on Easter Monday .......

I haven't been to many games this season, but the ones I have seen suggest a mixture of problems.
1. Some players don't care: Twiss; Baynes; Beesley.
2. We've had terrible luck with injuries to some of our best players: Denham; Densmore; Coburn.
3. Some of our players simply aren't good enough: Dootson; Brown; Lawton (sorry Robbie, committed captain and good guy but often found wanting this season).
Still, must keep fighting in the hope of a miraculous salvation. If it doesn't happen, it's a chance for the start of a new McKenna era with a clearout of players.

Absolutely gutted.
I strongly suspect he wasn't right from the start and was simply trying to play through the pain.

sorry, harsh, red mist...

Understandable. It's gutting.

Quote from Alty terraces April 2012
"Kenny, Ken McKenna he's the greatest man in history, from the town of Alty, won promotion with F@ck all money"
That's as far as my positive thinking will go. I can't see us getting another point if we play like we did at FGR and it didn't sound much better in the last couple of games.
-
I feel desperately sorry for Ken Mckenna. He asked the players for a big response and got next to nothing in return.
Disgraceful!

More players than those 3 are not good enough at this level,. Its easier to name the players who are good enough of which I can probably count on 1 hand,
Today most of the players showed a lack of respect to everyone who holds Alty FC close to their hearts. If we had lost today and everyone showed a great amount of effort us as fans would have had to say 'fair play they gave it there all', what upsets me most (and probably most of the fans) is we are going down with no show of courage, pride or passion
If we dont show a serious upturn next year we will be fighting relegation again..
Finally all i can say is I am gutted and hope some of those players who have picked up money for todays performance really think "have i deserved this"
-
Having endured 95 minutes of utter sh*te today I thought I'd sum today's performance up for those who couldn't get to the game in a few words;
Utterly spineless and passionless.
Someone posted that maybe the nerves got the better of our players. Get real pal, they actually don't give a sh*t if they stay up or not as half of em are pissing off back to their own clubs, some are contracted for another year irrespective of which league they play in and the others are probably quite happy to get home from away matches by 6 o'clock and made up they won't miss Ant and pissin Decs Saturday NIght Takeaway.
I think it's time that we realized the only passionate people inthe ground are the ones who put money into the club rather than takeit out ie the paying fans. And the mgr team, board, volunteers etc....
If only us fans could play football eh?
-
I'd make two exceptions - Nicky Clee (the only possible candidate for Player of the Season) tried his heart out as usual.
And Carl Piergianni whose skills and attitude deserve to be seen on a better stage than we can hope to give him.
-
Carl Piergianni was class yesterday - literally our only defender unfortunately. I'd love for him to stay next season and get playing experience next to someone like Greg Young (I wouldn't be surprised to see him back) at the heart of defence. Bateson and Brown have done okay for us and should stay in BSN. I'd say 'goodbye' to Joseph, Williams and Smith ASAP.
Nothing much wrong with Robbie, Ant, Dens and Connors (who may stay) in midfield. Perhaps Sam Hewson could come to pre-season and prove his fitness.
Up front I'd strive to keep Dale, Reevsey and Nicky - the rest can go, though in all fairness Beesley did do well on the right wing when he came on yesterday.
Would love to see this team in BSN
Coburn, Bateson, Brown, Young, Piergianni, Lawton, Connors, Densmore, Clee, Johnson, Reeves
