I don't have anything to add about the game; we were great and fought like lions.
However, I think we should make a bit more of the fact we took well over a thousand fans to an away game, and not just one round the corner. Absolutely incredible effort and amazing to see. The hardcore away support that has followed us all over the country has been incredibly loyal, but we've often struggled to take serious numbers anywhere. What I really liked was that there were loads of young lads (and women) in our end, all with their mates and all supporting Alty. A lot of praise has to go to the lads that have helped cultivate the support; it was fantastic to hear the Alty songs coming out of The Crown on the way to the ground.
We've always thought we were a big club at this level but this season we've acted like it, on the pitch and on the terraces.
