Next 2 games are huge, essential we get at least 4 points.
Byrne
Barrows. Mullarkey. Baines. E. Jones
Osbourne. Lundstram
Bennett. Conn-Clarke. Colclough
Dinanga
Alty 2-1 Wealdstone (Dinanga, Colclough)
Just a finger in air guess at the team as i seems to be tad random.
If we do lose the pressure must surely be on the management.
-
agree, next 2 games are crucial and a minimum of 4 points would be most welcome.
Team selection, going to be interesting, we need to stop conceding silly goals and at opposite end be more clinical.
-
Rumour has it Byrne has been redeployed serving ale in the CSH. Behind the bar as opposed to underneath it.😎
-

Pretty sure that every time a statement like this is made, we fail to achieve it.
Not to say that I disagree with you of course. Draw on Saturday, win on Tueday.
-
If they're fit, I reckon Kaja in place of Bennett and Hulme for Dinanga. Otherwise would be team I'd select.
-
I think it's time for Parky to put out the eleven HE thinks is his best side, let them settle down for a run of games and see where that takes us.
There may be a few noses out of joint perhaps but I think it's getting to the stage where it needs to be done.
-
Four points ? We need all 6 ! Fail to beat Wealdstone and confidence won't be high against SC**thorpe. If our position doesn't constiture a crisis, I'm not sure what does.
-
Our position will look very different if we can get these points on the board.
Part of me thinks it's the wrong time to change things around too much going into these two.

Byrne
Barrows Mullarkey Baines E. Jones

Missing this one, but I expect us to get our season rolling on Saturday
Alty 2-1 Wealdstone
Onwards and Upwards.
-
Probably be postponed now as a mark of respect.
-
I think that's pretty likely. The EFL games tomorrow (Friday) have already been called off, and a decision will be made on Friday for the rest of the weekend's EFL games after a review of the official mourning guidelines and a consultation with the DCMS.
-
The game should go ahead with the national anthem played beforehand as a mark of respect to her majesty. With the players in the usual position taken for a minutes silence

I concur

Absolutely.
Respect needs to be shown to remember her reign.
Fair enough sports that she enjoyed shutting down as a mark of respect, however football should not be one of them. The last time the Queen attended a game was the Euro 96 final and the 76 FA cup final before that and then the 66 WCF
-
10 days of mourning. The best way to remember her would be for the plebs to forgo any leisure activities, whilst trudging dutifully into work for the 10 days. No fun, no enjoyment, the Protestant work ethic in action. Unpaid overtime for all? Perhaps.
-
Games should carry on. Trying to avoid politics so I'll just say life is for the living and the best way we can honour all our loved ones who have died is to carry on doing our best and making the most of our time on planet earth.
-
I’m sure a respectful minute silence prior to kick off would be suffice. No Hand clapping, just a moment for reflection..
-
I suspect a lot is to do with policing as plenty of resources will be required with crowds over the coming days.
That's not to say we shouldn't conform to international weekend protocol and press on with non-league.
-
Why would anyone think it is a good idea to restrict the right to work of employees at Altrincham FC? I am sad but, as already mentioned, the right thing to do is to get on with life so long as it isn't putting extra pressure on overstretched services. Where that is the case obviously exceptions should be made. I hope we go ahead.
-
game off. just announced

Clearly Altrincham FC have no choice in the matter.
-
Nonsense decision.
Are we seeing mass hysteria set in?
-
Handled badly by "the powers that be". No consideration given to Wealdstone now having to trek up here on a Tuesday. No thought for anyone who may have booked train tickets, or overnight accommodation. Two minutes silence and the National Anthem really would have sufficed - we'll probably get those on Tuesday if we're allowed to play then.

This, multiplied by however many other games are impacted in the top 4 leagues too.
-
The authorities have stressed there is no protocol on the matter (rugby still going ahead as far as I understand).
Massive own goal by the National League as usual - as insensitive as it may sound, would have been a great chance to boost attendances across non-league for the day.
-

Yes.
Given the state of the country and the economy and the massive disruption caused by COVID postponing events like this is wrong.

It was out of the National League's hands. The FA have called off football at all levels, including grassroots, over the weekend.
It was an over the top decision, I agree.

Ah, fair enough.
I do question the wisdom of shutting down a country that is already struggling.
-
Finnquark, what a :P. Why bring religion in to it ??? I wanted the game to go ahead too, and to show my respects with a minutes silence. You obviously have an anti-protestant/anti-monarchy agenda. Grow up FFS.
-

Yes.

It is because of Covid they can readily make such decisions. People got used to insane decisions being made with no logical basis and asked no questions for fear of being slapped down as a heretic
Example : cannot play a round of golf because it is very dangerous, but I have to keep construction work, where it is impossible to distance, on government contracts going. Perfectly safe when they need it to be and nobody challenges the logic.
So things like this are now so easy to implement without chalkenge or ridicule. Look forward to the power rationing in the winter and more postponed games. Its all for our own good, so no moaning please.
-
Not an ardent monarchist by any means but respected the Queen immensely.
A minutes silence and the National Anthem would have been enough for us all to have paid our respects.
Really can't understand why my girl's under 10s game has been cancelled. Completely over-the-top.
-
It’s the sheer lack of consistency that is stupefying. All football is off tomorrow, yet the Test Match and BMW Golf both go ahead tomorrow.
I’d really like a logical explanation for that !

There's never been much wisdom in evidence at the FA.
-
Some top brass at the FA staking their claim to a gong in the New Years Honours List. An utter nonsensical decision. Sale Sharks moved from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. Grass roots cricket going ahead at least in Cheshire. St Leger moved Saturday to Sunday.
The Football Supporters Association proposed a period of silence before kick off where supporters could have the chance to show their respects collectively.
The decision was not taken with any kind of benevolent intent but some small minded individuals driven by self importance.
With the season already condensed due to the World Cup this doesn’t make any sense. Friday’s postponements were a show of respect. The message was passed. Taking it beyond that, save for a minute or twos silence, was nothing more than self indulgent.
-
Virtue signalling?
This actually removes an opportunity for the players, club members and the fans to pay their respects and show their feelings for Her Majesty.
there are those who might have wanted to miss the game out of respect, and I understand that, but we don't have a choice. So many of us will still have to work - and it was bloody difficult facing customers having heard the news when they hadn't - but, imho, we have to carry on as much as possible.
-
No Alty, I'm of to Huddersfield to watch Salford Rugby, bonkers !!
-
Maybe get there early, if this bumper crowds theory is true?
Incidentally, the BBC text service still has "Cymru Premier" matches as taking place tomorrow. I assume this is another glitch, as Flint Town United v. Aberystwyth Town was off tonight.

Sale's RUFC game was moved from Friday to Saturday, so it's possible that the rest of the fixtures may still be on.
-
Moving on from the rights and wrongs of the decision to postpone the game, I wonder if the club could possibly consider making some sort of a gesture to the Wealdstone supporters who have bought a ticket in good faith for this game, such as subsidising their travel costs for the rearranged fixture whenever that is played? If anyone deserves it, it is surely Wealdstone supporters, and I for one would be more than happy to make a contribution if there was a facility for doing so at the Sc*nthorpe game or some such.
-
There's no way we should be subsidising Wealdstones fans travel. The FA should tho and every other fan who've been left out of pocket

The FA of Wales were slightly later than the other "home nations," but all football in Wales is off this weekend. Just checking now, the BBC website has caught up with this (I don't use text in 2022!).

No way should we be subsidising another club due the the incomptetence of the FA and NL who support this bizarre decision.
No doubt I won"t be able to make the Tuesday night rearranged game.....will the FA send me a refund ::)

If the reason for postponing the football was because they thought Celtic and Liverpool wouldn't respect the protocol, then that is a poor show. If Celtic and Liverpool didn't want to pay their respects then that is up to them. To deny the majority of football supporters to pay their respects then that is lack of respect from the FA.

Little evidence to prove this is a concern of the FA....but an abundance of evidence demonstrating their incompetence and contempt for the public in general.
If this was their concern, they they should be saying so without naming clubs. If they want to be so upfront to mention Liverpool then they could have, followed up by postponing their game and then dealt with the consequences from Liverpool's lawyers and sponsors

Poor comment, sorry. What on earth have have Celtic got to do with the FA?
I think the FA's move is more to do with fear of the right wing media who would crucify football for playing while ignoring rugby union etc.

This.

If fans of a club wish to demonstrate their antipathy towards the Windsor family they will do so one way or another. Personally I don't boo but not do I stand for ANY national anthem. Stopping footy in case the dirge of a national anthem is booed is ludicrous.

Well said, that man.
Meanwhile, could this potentially impact upon our scheduled fixture at Dagenham next Saturday?
