Also by having just a single fence as segregation on Tuesday, this actually put stewards more at risk from incidents with either set of fans. Unfortunately this season, especially when an away team brings a few fans, we are getting a few fans , who it would appear, be happy to join in if any trouble did occur. If you are going to have segregation in the Popular Side at least have a sterile area between the two sets of fans. Though before doing that, unlike on Tuesday, actually make sure the number of away fans requires that.  Great suggestion from an earlier post about categorising games, that's surely all what is required.
I assume there will be a police presence on Saturday, but I hope the stewards are abit more clued up than they normally are, because there's obviously alot at stake, and whatever the result it could get a bit tetchy both inside and outside the ground.

Agree yes and rather randomly what seemed to be the only incident, the pitch invader after we scored, was a Scottish bloke on a stag do!

Agreed it did. Not sure why they have such a small distance between home and away fans there, it just attracts idiots on both sides of the fencing. Enlarge it and that may help reduce the issues. Always a bit of a mystery why when there are police in the ground, like last night, there are never any there, when that seems to be such an obvious potential flashpoint area.

Totally agree about the Fixtures and Results section being all wrongly laid out, and should it even be in the Match Centre? Maybe have that for the latest game and the results/fixtures shown separately?

That pitch invasion was embarrassing, though symptomatic of some of our younger support, thinking they can do what they like,( not sure the new groundsman will be chuffed with all the knee slides), and also the, for the most part, pretty pathetic stewarding we have. There are alot of them, but very few are proactive in actually confronting supporter behaviour when needed.
Also outside the ground after the game, hanging around, were a group of about 20 Alty fans on the corner of Moss Lane/ Golf Road who were obviously waiting for any passing Wrexham fans to try to kick off with. Recognised a few of the faces, they usually only turn up when there is a decent away following. The police ended up having to disperse them, and there didn't appear to be any trouble. Another example though of some of the support we are attracting this season, but unfortunately it may be the case of the club not doing anything about them, until it does eventually kick off outside the ground after a match. No doubt they will be back for the league game v Wrexham, where hopefully there will be better stewarding and a bigger police presence than just the 4 officers there tonight. Add into the mix a group of Stockport fans in the Golf Road, causing one or two incidents, it was quite an eventful evening!

Not sure why Alty would wait until 11.56 to tweet that there was to be a pitch inspection. Surely this could have been announced earlier, especially as it had barely rained for two hours previous to this.

I thought the heaviest rain had passed through by 8.00am, and don't think the rain since then was that heavy or lasted particularly long. Surely people would have been at the ground by 9.00 on a match day and realised there could be a problem with the pitch?

We have rightly cricised other clubs for calling games off late and for what happened at Halifax on NYD, but we're clearly not much better, even more so when we are playing a team from some distance away. You would assume Bromley travelled up yesterday, but when you know their fans would be having an early start, surely you would have procedures in place to have an early inspection if required. Bit of a shambles.

Wrexham Trophy game now moved to Fri 13th Jan with KO at 7.45, because of the Derby taking place at OT on Sat 14th. Understandable I guess, though may impact on the crowd.

I personally don't recall that, the only pitch invasions I can remember are after the occasional good win in the FA Cup we had back then (those were the days!), or after the last home game of each season.

What a big loss, been so instrumental in our recent good run. Going to interesting to see if it's another NL club that's picked him up.

Great gesture. Hopefully last night will be a wake up call to the club about some of the supporters we have been attracting this season and also the standard of stewarding at the ground. Especially so with the Halifax game coming up, where there was trouble outside the ground last season.

Was he though, pretty sure I saw that group in the Golf Road during the 2nd half. Most of that group should have been thrown out during the 1st half, but unfortunately our stewarding is too passive to do that.

It may just be me, but it seems to be the case that we have attracted a fair few scrotes this season, who at times are behaving like dickheads. Take tonights game, for the last 25 mins of the 1st half, there were a group of 6 lads who stood behind the goal at the Hale End, giving puerile abuse to the Curzon keeper. There was a steward about 20 yards away who did nothing about it and it needed a couple of people standing near them to try to get them to shut up. Regarding the stewarding tonight, most of them seemed to be in their late teens, early twenties and not really doing much. None of them seemed savvy enough to see that the group of Curzon fans did not move round in the 1st half, and think it would maybe be a good idea to have a couple of stewards stood in the Popular Side to keep an eye on things. If they had done that, maybe one of the Curzon flags wouldn't have been nicked. As I was leaving the ground, stewards were trying to get one of the scrotes to open his rucksack to see if the flag was in there, which made me  wonder why the club even allows people to bring rucksacks into the ground, especially when they are barely searched, if at all.
In general this season, there have been a couple of games, Chesterfield in particular stands out, where a group of scrotes were goading some Chesterfield fans at the fences in the Popular Side and chucking plastic bottles at them, with no response from the stewards. Outside the ground also there have been games where groups of lads have been hanging around at the corner of Golf Road, seemingly waiting to see if anything kicks off with away fans walking past them. I've not seen any trouble, but it is maybe something that the club needs to keep an eye on. It kicked off outside the away end v Halifax last season, so I presume there will be a police presence on Boxing Day, but also hopefully the stewards will be a bit more clued up as to what is going on at the ground generally. Rant over!

Interesting to know if it will actually pay for itself, once Wrexham, at some point, get promoted. This is obviously assuming they would have the greatest take up, which is hard to see otherwise, and then once they go, and the money is eventually split between the three leagues, it's hard to see it being a money spinner.
