The article states that we'll be in the 8th tier - they've published it a year early.

Well the vast majority of fans appear to be in unison about at least one thing...

Rowley’s honest, frank assessment should fill the fans with optimism that work is ongoing behind the scenes to ensure the club’s stay in the Evo-Stik is merely temporary.

Do what?????!!!!????.....that piece read like a piece of propaganda ....sounds like he thinks he's smoothed everything over with disgruntled fans and it's business as usual....

I hope whatever big is supposed to be going on behind the scenes comes to fruition otherwise I'll be doing a dirty protest....on the pitch!

I do think Alty fans should make a big effort to show support for the club and a potential new investor chairman.....but if the status quo remains I really despair.....

and wtf is this statement about; I’ve previously been on record to apologise for what I actually said there but if they still feel I got that wrong I am quite happy to hold my hands up and apologise publicly to the fans. ???????

Potential confusion here:

“I think everyone needs to pull in the same direction."

“Without fans you don’t have a football club so therefore we need to get together, know where we are going and we need to push in the same direction.”

May I suggest he does so after the last home game of the season, in lieu of the player if the season award.

The brief view of the players warming up, I use the term loosely,  tells me everything I need to know about what is wrong with the team.
Not an ounce of snap or sparkle in any of them.
I draw your attention to the following quote form a coach who works with elite athletes from a number of sports.

I watch the warm ups.
I notice who cuts the corners.
I see who stretches half heartedly.
I watch body language.
Right there that's enough information for me to know how COMMITTED an athlete is.
