From what I can gather their capacity is 1,000. I’ve been trying to satisfy my thirst for live football for some time by sussing out a game at Trafford FC. Their stadiums capacity at Pennybridge Lane is around 1,500. They have been allowed 200 to attend matches. They sell tickets via the Shocal app with 25 spaces held back for entry at the turnstile on the day. Not sure what the rationale is behind this. I’ve tried to buy tickets via the app but as soon as they are first posted they’re sold out.
Getting back to Barnton, on Twitter the Alty non league giants are coming on Wednesday, £5 adults £3 concessions. Normally I think it’d be a breeze getting into this fixture. With Barnton not playing again in the foreseeable future after this game and it not being that far for Alty fans to travel (whether they’re supposed to or not) I feel if you decide to go you’ll have to be prepared to be turned away. Think I’ll give it a go unless there’s an update from Barnton which changes the situation.

Have Barnton sold off the global broadcasting rights?

Will the stewards be from Dover?

Very competent performance against a poor Dover side who didn't seem to fancy it in the first half. Glad to see we won't be the only club having problems with the pitch this season.

We need to be more of a threat up front though. The only shot on target was the goal.

Was really going to shift us up the table until King's Lynn and Weymouth got late winners.

I suppose they couldn't have switched it to the cricket pitch...

To be fair, it's  all about what we do at the end of the day, and we appear on course, at this early stage, for the 55-80 points that I would consider a decent return from the season - and after a few injuries too.

If we get 55 points and don’t go down (which would be somewhat unusual) that’d be ok. I was only thinking last week that if someone offered us 20th place I’d be loathe to accept even though we’d stay up. It’s just that I believe we are better than that. If it pans out we finish 20th so be it. If we get reasonable luck from now on with injuries, suspensions and run of the ball, I don’t think it’s unreasonable for us to get 70 odd points. I am biased but hopefully not deluded!

Well guess that scuppers any chance of a re-arranged game this Saturday then...

Guess maybe use the day as an extra training session then...

I haven't checked. What are Hartlepool doing? If they're free perhaps a friendly?

Just a quick observation on today’s announcement by the PM.
If this DEADLY virus requires action to prevent widespread devastation, why are we waiting until Thursday to introduce the measures?
WILL ANYONE STILL BE ALIVE BY THEN?

Concerned of Timperley.

Premier league will continue, but will we be able to play during the latest shambles?

Do we count as "Elite*"

*Not sure Dover do with their behaviour today!

nor Hartlepool with their win at all costs philosophy ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺

In fairness, though classless, 'Pool had the decency to explain their understandable reason, which I take as a complement to Alty FC

I suppose admitting you’re a bit of a t*at is being honest, but at the end of the day you’re still a bit of a t*at. Parky’s point was that sort of thing is something he wouldn’t do. Alty do have a bit of class agreed.

this was a great result and radio kent said TT was like Peter Schmicheal

Now you come to mention it, I've never seen them together.

ALTY OLD BOY
The NPL reports that former Alty loanee Ryan Shotton has signed forms for Leek Town. (John Laidlar)

Surely he can do better than that, especially as Mullarkey will be out for a while!

How old is he now?

Yesterday was his 32nd birthday.
