Get yourselves to Boundary Park on 7th April and get yesterday out of your system.
First time, to my knowledge, we have played at Boundary Park.
Easy to get to for most.
Everyone has budgeted for Wembley - that isn't happening - nothing we can do about that - so isn't it better that we get back on the horse, carry on, and make lots of noise supporting the team.
Every proper fans gets hurt like we are are from yesterday - proper fans bounce back.
The players will be gutted - so do we swerve this match because its hurting so they run out to 117 away fans in a 7000 crowd and feel like no one cares, or do we get 1000 there out singing the home fans so that the players know we are still behind them and we love our club rain or shine?
We show character and the players will too.

Well I'll be there to do just that!
PS. Let's get to that other cup semi final on Tuesday as well. It'll be a new ground for me (although I've been to Canal Street a few times) 😉

I'd pencilled this in before the game yesterday. Last night after didn't fancy it. Changed my mind again this morning. We Alty fans were gutted and felt an injustice. The players will have felt the same PLUS it will have dawned on most if not all of them that they may never play at Wembley. Their pain is at least double to ours. I'm going now!

100%. A league double over Oldham Athletic would have been cloud cuckoo land 5 years ago. Easy do on the tram, a fantastic stadium & most people off work. Really hope people can dust themselves down & we take 500.

I will be there and I am going to encourage as many others to go as possible. I feel extremely proud of our team and after seeing the emotion displayed by the Manager and his young players yesterday after such an undeserved blow, I have concluded that Phil, Neil and a number of the players are showing attributes that will see them become Alty Legends and lift the Club to their true status in the form of Non-League Giants and FA Cup Giant-Killers. That is, until we make it to the EFL and then there will be a whole new chapter to write.
My final words on yesterday. We were the better team. We all know that we should have won and I am sure that lessons have been learnt as to what went wrong after we had dominated so much of the game and had so many chances to put it to bed.
On the pitch I am seeing us showing steady improvement year on year. We play an entertaining brand of football and crowds are growing remarkably.
What concerns me more then anything else is the decrepit state of the ground and the lack of basic facilities (especially for away supporters). If there is any scope we should shorten the length of the pitch slightly to enable match security personnel to stand between the perimeter rail and the goal at both ends to prevent any future interference with the nets. Perhaps we should look at employing our own security personnel and have them trained to the industry's highest standards so that they will become an income generating asset that we can hire out to other organisations when it is prudent to do so.
I sat in the main stand yesterday and like the popular side it really needs replacing completely. In fact, there needs to be some real co-ordinated engagement between all the various stakeholders in the Club to try and get things moving towards a redevelopment of the ground. This issue is not going to go away, nor is it going to resolve itself if a few seats are placed in the middle of the pop side.

My boy and I will be there 100%.

Did we make The Guinness Book of Records for most people in a Community Sports Hall in Altrincham?

Certainly is Dave. I got an early bird old farts ticket for the outrageous sum of £8!
Tenner on the coach saves faffing around on two trams which would be free for me but doesn't offer the good company.
Looking forward to it now after a counselling session post Halifax with the dog. He didn't say much but seemed to offer a sympathetic ear.
-
We have sold 184 tickets so far - about 150 since yesterday.
That's the spirit friends - keep it coming and lets have a great day out.
We have earned it, and so has the team.

I bought two tickets last evening and the section that they have given us seemed to be filling up nicely.

Nay mate , i live a Robins roar away from Edgeley Park . Roots in Moston though 😀

That's what I meant 😉

Is it all ticket then or can we just bowl up on the day?
Just noticed that pay on the gate is possible (albeit a little more expensive)

Yep, £18 - Adult if you buy online in advance - £22 if you pay on the day
£8 - 65 plus and under 21 in advance - £10 pay on the day
£5 - under 18 - £7 on the day
Under 7s free either way
On this basis, I expect great advance sales from pensioners, 20 year olds, 17 year olds and 6 year olds!!
Seriously, these are really decent prices booked in advance especially, if people need more persuading to go.
Up to about 200 sold now so steady away

Well we're paying on the day so add three more to the total!

By the way (again) I understand it's a fiver to park in the disabled car park at the back of the away stand (I'm not very mobile). Will I be able to pay cash on the day for that too do you think or must I go through an online process?

Seems other parking is cash or card, so I would imagine cash is fine

PS. If they don't let me park and I miss the game, it'll be all your fault mate! 😂😂

;D ;D ;D Yes, you guess correctly

I'm on the coach. Do we have a nominated pub for the party?
-
Just bought our tickets, well over 300 sold now, so I guess we'll have over 400 there on the day and hope they open an adjoining section.
-
360ish. 2nd block open when gives us a bit more space.

That's good opened a second section, was getting a bit cramped in there with 1 block only ;D
-
450 ish sold now. Good chance there will be 500 plus.
Reduced priced tickets go off sale from midnight tonight

I think bounce back turned out to be the right term - we bounced back to put smiles back on faces, bounced back from ignominious defeat to get a glorious point, and the fans were bouncing up and down at the end!!
Great turnout of 609, plus however many were guests as well, and the wonderful sound of fans singing loudly in the streets outside the ground afterwards while Oldham fans looked on bemused is possibly my moment of the season - reminded me of Birmingham 86, and that's saying something.
Don't you just love being an Alty fan?! Never give up on Alty and keep the faith!!
