Not much to be said about that, utterly embarrassing & a black day for the club.
A lot of players are nowhere near good enough & clearly defensively PP & NS really have to think hard about their approach in the summer. 93 goals conceded in all competitions, Aldershot sling enough crosses in on Saturday night & we’ll have a good chance of ‘achieving’ 100.
Shameful.
Pay whatever it takes to sign Milli Alli and Tyrese Sinclair
Can't see Milli Alli leaving Fax . Wasnt he on trail at Alty in pre season ?
Alli is defo one that got away.
If he was on trial here then I definitely missed it. He's been one I'm sure a few of us have been intrigued by since he was on Stockport's books.
Seemed inevitable he'd end up here once Mike Clegg joined our coaching staff, however his departure and Alli's subsequent form makes it unlikely now.
Trial is a bit of a stretch but he’s pictured training with us in Jonathan Moore’s pre-season photos album. Available on Flickr. We were either taking a look at him or just helping him get fit.
Maybe it's just down to the type of football I want to watch. I'd rather watch an Altrincham FC team than a Manchester United/Fleetwood/Rochdale/Preston/Stoke Reserves Select Xl. I would take the view (and I don't ask or expect anyone to agree with me) that if Altrincham FC is this reliant on loan players then the club isn't ready for this division, and shock horror and heresy hang draw and quarter me is actually maintaining its position under false pretences. But as I said in a previous post I don't really understand football.
Now we have lost Sinclair, then stick to wingbacks, even though I would always choose wingers

Some superb Pitch level highlights from Gateshead of yesterday's game here. (Would love to see more of this kind of thing for our games, adding to the already excellent Alty TV highlights of course)
Lots of chances for both sides yesterday, unfortunately Gateshead took one of theirs and we couldn't with both sides playing some really attractive football.
Overall, we're still a work in progress but despite that have still had one of our best National League seasons this century. Would love us to finish 13th or above this year and hit the 60 point mark, that would represent excellent progress on last season.
Incidentally, I wouldn't fancy living in one of those houses that backed onto the away end!
You’re not alone. Very odd layout whereby the away fans have to walk through Brookside to reach the turnstiles.
Suits me - I'd not be going to Aldersh*t and if it's not 3pm they can stream it 😊
Selfish streaming
It's a peculiarity that those who stay at home and stream the game do actually generate some (rather miniscule) revenue for Altrincham FC, whereas those who pay to attend the match contribute entirely to the coffers of Aldershot FC.
To be joyous that the lads that have stuck by us (let's be honest Toby wouldn't habe been the only approached player in Jan) will run out to 20 instead of 75-100 is a shame, all so you can donate about 80p to the club.
I appear to need to point out to you that I wasn't endorsing not attending matches but was merely highlighting this financial anomaly.
I shall be at Boundary Park this afternoon rather than watching events on a screen (but if people opt to do the latter, then that's their prerogative and they shouldn't have to be shamed by you).
Perhaps you should read my post above rather than being a cantankerous old man.
This isn't about Phils choice of streaming its about his indifference to what a 5pm game means to fans. I'll be getting back on Sunday because of this 530 farce.
