It would be ace if we could move a Tuesday fixture in November or early December to this Saturday but unfortunately 4 out of the 5 possible opponents are playing in the FA Cup 1st rd next weekend...

Solihull Moors (Tue Nov10) play Scun thorpe away...
Chesterfield (Tue Nov17) play Rochdale away...
Bromley (Tue Nov24) play Yeovil at home...
Woking (Tue Dec8) play Gillingham away...

Leaving only Wrexham (Tues Dec 1st - away) as the only possible Tues game that could be switched to Saturday as they have no game after Solihull knocked em out of Cup 4-0 in last round...

It would be brilliant if a local-ish game against a 'big' club could be moved to a Saturday... if fans were still allowed it would have been a great away day in Wales...

Wonder if Alty & Wrexham could get together and agree to move this game to this Saturday... maybe too short notice...

At mo will miss having no game this coming Sat after our 1st win yesterday... with 5 out of next 6 November games at home i'm looking forward to climbing the table further (hopefully)...

COYR!

Welcome to Alty Joe... good luck... hope you will be happy here and help us push forwards and ultimately climb the table...

Give us your best and the fans will be there for you...
 
Robbins to Robins! 

Agree... the govt approach i believe is wrong...

I understand why say cannot have 76,000 crammed into Old Trafford (or big stadia of top clubs), but whilst teams like United can at present maintain losses of circa £5mill per game due to no fans (according to BBC) the smaller clubs lower down the football pyramid struggle as rely on fans and if crowds under 5,000 (or in our case maybe circa 1,500) then surely clubs can work with this figure - especially if even lower down the non-league ladder crowds of 200-400 are allowed...

I also appreciate that if there was no Prem footy then fans of say United, City, Liverpool, etc may seek their footy fix by then going to Alty (if we allowed fans) thus swelling our potential crowds to maybe 3,000... but still we could surely cope...

I personally feel fans (upto say max 3,000 - 5,000) should be allowed at matches involving Division 1 & 2 of EFL and ALL non-league clubs to help clubs survive & let fans enjoy football which in the modern Covid world is a great escape and good for mental health & wellbeing... i know the govt has given monies to help clubs like Alty to hopefully prevent any more clubs going out of business, but the govt also needs to think of wellbeing of fans too...

Even if limited Alty to say 500 - 1000 capacity (maybe season ticket holders & then residual via online tic purchase) then surely 1000 fans in outside fresh air (with mask) is far safer than some indoor events we've all seen in papers or on news where up to 10,000 been allowed indoors with masks on...

Whatever figure Alty or lower league/non-league clubs were allowed (this was calculated at start of season on 15% or 30% of capacity before govt changed rules) it would help clubs and their fans wellbeing/health just to have the escape of football to take our minds off the nightmare of Covid issues...

I believe a petition that raised over 200,000 signatures about all clubs letting fans back into grounds is due to be discussed by the govt of Nov 9th in Parliament - hopefully something may happen there... but not holding my breath...

Anyway, maybe all irrelevant as looks like we are probably going back into Nationsl Lockdown again next week... ☹️

      Mooney   Hancock   Ceesay
                         Peers

NB just think Parky may start Peers up front after previous FA Cup displays (eg York away) but if does not make impact by 60/65mins will make a change... also think some who have not really featured like Gould & Hanningan may get a start, plus new signing Potter...

Hoping whoever starts does well and the lads win!
Come on Alty!
