I do a round trip of 130 miles, and usually drag my two boys with me. I would gladly do this season after season if it were to be as succesful as this one.

This isn't championship manager FFS, the team picked itself today !

Maybe throw in £50,000 Dino and we'll sign Michael Gash ? - Hmmm !!

[Saughall Robin]

Dino, seriously, why don't you just 'do a gunners' and stop coming on here? You really don't seem to enjoy being an Alty fan one bit.

[Longman]

I think Dino may just be a wind up merchant.

[AltySi]

Come on Dino answer Ecky's question ?, it's a fair point!!.

Yes, we might not always be happy about everything that goes on, but we have watched some utter sh*te over the years, and it's easy to forget that.

I think at the end of the day you just hate GH and even if we won the CHampions League, you would find fault.
I am not GH''s biggest fan, but I respect what has has done with this team and where we are at present.

I seem to recall that it was Ecky who raised a salient point re. our attendances on here a few weeks ago.

The Alty regulars, who understand the situation at the club, know that we are having a good season.

We recognise that the team virtually picked itself yesterday and a 0-0 draw against potential play-off contenders was a commendable result under the circumstances.

We will be back again on Tuesday evening for the visit of Kettering.


However, any 'outsiders' attending yesterday's match, who don't immerse themselves in the events at Moss Lane, would not necessarily have been impressed by a team that was compelled to defend for the majority of the game and who failed to manage even a single shot on target.

They will stay at home and watch Chelsea v Inter Milan on Tuesday evening.

Why not kick off at 5pm, open the bar at 4pm and offer £5 entry to anyone arriving before 4.15pm. Keep the bar open for the Chelsea game after the match and give a free raffle ticket with every pint. The raffle could be drawn at the next home game so people have to come back. The prizes could be things people want but would not cost the club much, maybe signed photo's, money off vouchers, free coach travel, stadium tours etc

Kicking off at 5pm would result in a gate of around 350. Most people will just be leaving work, including I'd say some of the players!

Not a bad idea. But i bet some of OUR players wouldnt be able to get here for 4, having full time jobs and all that....

maybe we need to look into moving the times around a bit for next season. Friday evening / Sunday football anyone??

Not just about the players but what about the staff who all have other jobs as well.

Daft idea.....5pm.........do you not realise some people work and some have an hours drive to get here too......hence why no other club has bothered either

[rick]

i think friday night games is a great idea that could be worth a shot, we could try a couple (if the away teams are happy) an see what the attendances are, but like said on earlier posts will it work if we just carnt afford to advertise it.

[Mick]

Friday is no good either.....it's when a lot of people either go out to the pub, go for a meal or just want to sit and relax at home after a week at work. I am sure I speak for many when I say night football is most definately something people want midweek. I think it would severely affect away support too.

In any case what would Friday be a substitute for.....the Tuesday game - if so how could we then compete on a Saturday. Or is the Friday a substitute for the Saturday game ?

Think again....Friday night might be ok for schoolboys and OAPs, but for most, I doubt it would be popular and would see a drop in attendances

[SW]

Football is at 3pm Saturday, and that's it, if you want it live. Then again it's Tuesday/Wednesday, 7:45 or 8:00.The game is messed about by TV enough, so leave kick off times as always.

I hate the current TV regime, dictating when we watch our game.

[rick]

yeh maybe, accrington did it a few weeks ago when they were in the sh*t, but with alty it probly wouldnt work, last season ithink, we had a few sunday games an the attendances were good.

[RocketDan]

As soon as Clive bangs in a hattrick on Tuesday and word gets round about the Black Rooney, then the crowds will swell. By the last game of the season 2500+
