Dare I ask? What did Rochdale do 43 years ago? I have been an Altrincham fan since 1955 when I was eight. Life has interrupted my involvement with Alty on more than one occasion. So this must have happened during one of my out stages. My father was very good at keeping me updated on what was happening as I travelled the world.
But I do not remember this one.

This should fill you in a little bit.

Thanks for the link Amsterdam. I was wondering how to phrase it all without sounding bitter and nasty. 👍
Same, I wrote it, I hated how angry I sounded... I googled and checked for an article that was close to correct then sent :)

A small point in the scheme of things. What's happened to Alty TV? It seems that it is no longer in HD. In fact, definitely LD.
I'll take frame rate over definition any day.
Thanks for the feedback on this. We've recently switched to the TNT owned camera as main cam as my trusty old JVC (Alty TV cam) can no longer send out a stable output to the NLTV stream (a very loose HDMI out). You might notice a much better quality picture when the edit switches back to camera 2 (using the JVC) on the Southend video. I'll try to make a few more tweaks to the TNT camera and if this doesn't work we'll revert to a dedicated single camera edit using the Alty TV camera only for highlights and leave the NLTV feed on the TNT camera.

Once the ref showed himself to be even in his allowing of rougher play I thought the game stepped up a notch to become one of the most exciting games I've seen in a while.

It really is good to have a ref that we can say good things about, I hope the Southend fans think the same.

I loved to see our bench yesterday. Regan looks like he's got a couple of injury pounds to drop but nothing another week or so of training won't fix. I can see Sitole getting a start in the next game based on the comments from Phil in his post-match interview.

10 in a row with two very middling-form teams to come before we get a real test of our Playoff potential with Solihull & Chesterfield back to back.

They don't have funding for the new stadium yet.

« on: November 07, 2023, 07:36:34 PM »
I love Moss Lane but the only good views in the ground are on the chequers. While I hope the main stand does change at some point we really need to fix the pop side first. New windows excluded from the debate which could surely be done in the interim.

I also think the wood has to be fireproofed to be allowed these days. Forrest Green have a plan to build the whole stadium from wood. If we had another 20 years in the current set up I'd even like to see similar for Alty, if it doesn't rot to sh*t.

No way I'm putting the money on. Happy to be considered a football savant if they make a bit of cash... the potential outcome is payoff enough for me.

The home game is Christmas eve eve, probably gonna be a nightmare to get back any other way than an automobile.

The Rochdale game I get but might drop some attendance next week.

I don't suppose we can complain too much since the usual gripe is that we never get TV games.

If we don't win the trophy & play off double then we might as well find ourselves a competent manager who knows how to build a squad and get promoted.

Told a few mates to lump it on for a later cash out... They waited 3 weeks and before a ball had even been kicked to make a 20 quid return.

We'd have lost that game last year.

Also how was the lad not sent off for that penalty? Clearly the most dangerous tackle anyone of us will ever see.

No idea which Oldham we're gonna get. Fyldes two up after 12 tonight and they are down to 10 before the end of the half.

Probably be world beaters on Saturday.

Appears that there's trouble in paradise over there at the moment, with Holt throwing his toys out of the pram and putting the club up for sale.

Didn't take too kindly to the management team asking for clarity over their futures in the media.

I'd love nothing more than to see them back with us at this level - or even better, pass them going the other way.
This is just a mental situation, I don't think anyone has covered themselves in glory there after the past few days.

I get the managers are long-term servants of the club and would like to have some security beyond the end of the season but they were relegated last season, so going to December before deciding if a change is needed seems like good ownership to me.

It's all a bit weird.

That's the team for me too but I think he'll start with Banks and give Donawa some minutes later on.

my thoughts as well.

This makes sense. Fresher fast legs later on as well, I always love to have that in the locker.

Talking of strikers  Ruairi Keating at Cork looks half decent.  Their season ends in November

I can see he's played in the English leagues before, bagged an OK amount of goals... but I'm always nervous taking someone from the Welsh/Irish leagues.
Keating is the nephew of Ronan Keating of Boyzone fame, he sadly lost his father in a terrible car crash while driving to watch a game and thus missed 3 games earlier this season. He came back and bagged a hat-trick in his second start (against Sligo Rovers, the team Cork faced on the tragic day weeks earlier). I wonder if he might have developed some loyalty to Cork as they treated him very well when everything happened (As I'd hope any club would).
