A bad two days overall as a club. Firstly the pessimistic view of our finances (although a genuine and honest plea for help), poor team performance combined with peeving off the same fans targeted to help, by opening the old wound of molly cuddling soft away fans at the expense of our fans - especially from a club that has treated our fans badly in the recent past. We are no longer in the 1970's when provocative away fans got a good kicking, ran off, so problem quickly solved (I am not suggesting that this was right). We all make mistakes at work and in our lives, so it is not fair to keep having a pop at those that run and help the club. We are not going to progress by infighting and slating those Alty fans/directors that give their all for this club. We are not going to get extra help if those who help get criticised and ridiculed for doing so, whether on this forum or elsewhere. We are very lucky that this club is run by fans that have the club genuinely close to their hearts, and to be fair they give their all.
The reality also is that last season we were very fortunate with injuries and fewer postponements. We have not been so lucky this season and hopefully we can weather the storm. The club has tried to solve the problem by bringing in 4 loan signings, so they are not exactly doing nothing. One season of bad luck can cripple a club for years - Leeds United is a classic example. The club does listen to fans - borrowing those covers from LCCC is an example.
We all want the best for Alty and we all get disheartened and frustrated when things don't work or we don't win games that we expect to win or draw. We all think it unfair that we play by the rules while other clubs, such as Crawley progress. Life aint fair. From some of the stupid comments on this forum, you would think that the management and team deliberately sometimes set out to fail. However there have been also some good ideas such as some recent marketing suggestions posted.
Now is the time to get behind the team and behind the club and help where you can - Come on Alty!!!!!!
