Fully agree with most of the comments here . Toby once again our best player . Ryan our only attacking threat until Kaja came on . God help us if those two get injured .  Against a poor Scunny we looked like the away team for much of the game , nuff said .
Despite that the singers were superb throughout . Brilliant guys .

Just to clarity , that's Eddy Jones and Dan Malone , both on loan from Stoke .

Can't really complain about losing 2-1 on the balance of play . They are a big , physical , fast and skilful outfit who will be thereabouts at the end of the season yet we matched them for periods of the game and they never totally outplayed us .   Thought Toby was head and shoulders our best player . We still need a goalscorer , we still miss Marriott and Kossy and the keeper situation needs sorting asap .
  Kingy was at the game yesterday , wonder who he supported ?

I think the lack of toilets on the pop side needs addressing first.

I suspect the problem with toilets in the vicinity of the main stand is that the space is pretty much used to its maximum already. Where would they go? In the 2000's and early 2010's you'd have been able to nip underneath the main stand and into the then-Noel White Suite to use the toilet there, or the ones adjacent to the club shop, as gross as they were! We've lost both options now and as others have pointed out, they've been replaced with the toilets on the far side of the Community Sports Hall, which I appreciate would be a big ask for those with mobility issues.

The only long-term fix I can see is a total reworking of that entire side of the ground into a single, pitch-length main stand with all facilities (corporate, media, amenities, restrooms, club shop and office space) considered and included. Highly expensive and at odds with the Sports Hall development but entirely necessary in the next 15-20-30 years I think.

Edit, to add: I think what FC United have at Broadhurst Park is what we should be aiming for.
   I agree with most of this except i think with a full length main stand . I think the CSH should be left as it is and develop the two seated stands into one , i.e. two thirds or so of the pitch ( and at a height where everyone in the stand can see all of the pitch ! ) and large enough not to lose any ground capacity . I think this would be much less cost prohibative and still retain some standing room on that side for those who wish to.

I have previously touched on the lack of facilities serving the main stand . It's ridiculous that we have to make our way to the corner of the ground for (especially) toilets and refreshments.  I do understand that food and drink can be brought in to the ground by ourselves but toilets should be a given.
    I need to add that my feelings are mostly motivated with thoughts of the many fans who have certain mobility issues (not myself fortunately) , but i have seen many who do .

I think what people are asking is for the Club to be proactive in keeping the fan base up to date with situations which they know they are concerned about.
Even if it's only to tell us that there's no progress in a certain area (unless that plays into the hands of the opposition of course).

Dennis Law scored the first goal I ever saw in a live football match, back in 1968. Ghosted in from the right side of the Stretford End of the pitch. I just saw a red flash and the ball was in the net. I remember thinking, 'where the hell did he come from!' A nine year old impressionable boy I was then!!
     Ditto , first match aged 9 back in 1963 when Denis scored 2 in the 3-1 win over Leyton Orient that kept Utd up . It was Orients one and only ever season in the top division.

The Pink final was an absolute gem and essential read after the match on Saturdays . Every local non league team had a match report plus Terry Gorry and later Doug Peacocks non league news column .
Lucky to talk with King Denis on a couple of occasions , great player and a lovely bloke . Proper legend.

Brilliant post Inter Alty and really sums up both Erin's amazing personality and unswerving dedication to all things Alty . Full respect to her wonderful family too who have supported her with equal passion .   It's an inspirational story of Erin's journey , i really hope with all our support we can in some way give her even more confidence to help her on her way .

Still no toilets serving both seated stands either .
Stewards won't allow you to use the open end ones so the only option is at the far side of the Community Hall .  Very poor tbh .
  Why the old (very) former snack bar is still standing on the pop side god only knows , it's another eyesore and should have gone donkeys yonks ago ( and made a bit of room for a few more fans ! ) .

Could'nt agree more with all the comments here .  Can't be having with people who troll against anyone , let alone a brilliant youngster that Erin absolutely is . Carry on what your'e doing Erin , you're a gem and a credit to EVERYONE at Alty .  Here's to the next Alex Scott 👏🤞

Whoever he has signed for I’m delighted the lad has recovered from that horrific injury he sustained at Wealdstone last September.

Great to see you back fella. Enjoy your time at Buxton.
     
    Buxton are assembling a handy looking squad, good to see . Rooting for them and Curzon this season .
