I'll be worried about your loyalty unless you can assure me you're wearing your Robins underpants, and will remove them only when 'er indoors passes you the obligatory green and white pot.......

I wouldn't say it's beyond the realms of possibility for Gloucester to get something at Brackley. Very impressed with them on saturday.

My thoughts exactly so I guess they will lose 3-0 ;-)

To be fair to them, the ladies at the burger van at Harrogate produced some of the finest chips and curry sauce I've ever tasted a couple of seasons ago. Real raisins. Top draw stuff. Nice chat to an old bloke too who said we were the better side and should have won. Not that bad a place.

It thinks it is something it is not, very pretentious.  It's also an absolute ARSE of a place to drive through.  Worth taking on the queues in Knaresborough to avoid harrogate.

If Harrogate lose as well, this is a great night for us.

I said a couple of weeks ago i think we can catch Brackley. It is looking on the cards now.

Our position is definately stronger after tonight.

lost 6 -0 tonight - I think that's 94 goals against already.  Will they concede 150 by the end of the season?

Sadly harrogate won 3- 1 teaser.

169 at Brackley.  I bet Gloucester had 30 there as well

I know its sounds patronising and all that but what's the point?  Why bankroll something no one is arsed about?

Harrogate Town 3 Workington 1

Worky went in at half-time at 1-0 and should have been 3 up. They then hit the bar early in the second half.

The turning point was when Harrogate brought on Lee Elam who equalised then bossed the game, Town scoring 3 goals in 7 minutes. Two goals from ex-Burnley man Dominic Knowles.

Workington lacked a bit of talent but were a big, strong side who I bet are a tough test on their own patch.

Harrogate were garbage for an hour and I will lay £10 on the table right now that says they will finish at least 2 places below Alty at best.

Crowd was 284, it was bloody cold, I am off now for a few pints to warm up.

I will have highlights on tomorrow for anyone who is arsed, not your flash Alty TV HD job though, just bog standard.

Thanks Phil.....look forward to watching the highlights.Lee Elam made his final appearance for Alty at Bootham Crescent.......the only time that we have ever won there......in fact I believe that his final touch may have been a rather hopeful ball out to the byline that Dale Johnson somehow turned into a memorable late winning goal!

Ha! Brian you have hoist me by mine own footage petard with that one.

I also remember a certain Altrincham supporter tapping the referee on the shoulder who should have been immediately ejected!

Lee actually came on trial at York but didn't get a contract which was a shame because, when he had his "head on" he was unplayable. Strangely I went to the Unibond Final between Bradford Park Avenue and Boston United and there he was again, dominating the game. Sadly BPA lost in extra time.

He's certainly a character who needs a biography publishing, a fascinating guy who people either love or loathe.

Very good highlights.....thanks Phil. Harrogate were quite poor at our place last month, but I think that , despite the huge number of games that they have left, they have a reasonable chance of making the play-offs.

I agree, Brian. It's also worth bearing in mind that a high proportion of their remaining games are at home, because of their pitch problems this season. So if those have now been resolved, that gives them an even better chance.
