Team of the season is voted for my managers of the member clubs, I think.
Did you start many songs to assist the atmosphere? The game went dead for half an hour in the second half as it was won, the atmosphere struggled a bit at the start whilst they threw everything at us but certainly picked up after 20 mins (see lower down this post)
I'm pretty sure there was a mistake somewhere on the attendance as that did not look like 880 to me, certainly nearer a thousand with 10 away fans.
People are entitled to celebrate how they like and to the degree that they like. Whilst there is no doubt that winning the league was the expectation and it looks like we will now, I feel that the players and management have done extremely well to keep it going as we have seen on the last few games, teams are very keen to beat us and have nothing lo lose if they gamble and don't achieve it.
Whilst it may have been the expectation and budgets and crowds say we should do it as we know it doesn't always work like that.
If you support a football team, regardless of your opinions of things off the field, and you aren't pleased when they win matches and a league then you've surely lost your focus?
Two and a half years of depression and poor off the field decisions and PR gaffes have meant we have lost some supporters. They are slowly being replaced by spectators. If we weren't doing well they would be replaced by no-one.
There is a huge difference between the two. It takes a long time to turn these people into supporters, get them involved in the atmosphere and start to build a passion and a love for the place.
I hope that we can do that, get supporters back as well and push on together. There are many clubs that would swop with us right now...
I can only speak for myself like, but even though winning this league was my minimum expectancy it doesn’t make me any less inclined to celebrate the success (should it happen.)
I’ve not travelled to all these villages across the north of England just to politely applaud and nod once the job is done. A lot of effort has gone into this season and our upturn in form needs to be celebrated.
Not lauded, not heralded as a historic season, just a positive appreciation of us accomplishing the mission.
It is now 3-1 to Lancaster
Another step forward to becoming League Champions
All Credit to Nantwich and Lancaster tonight
Should have practiced first on elbow skin or scrote skin - same thing - no nerves

Funeral service 14:00 at Altrincham Methodist. Wake at the ground from 15:00. All welcome, no dress code.
Not that I'd be able to fly over for it anyway, but for others who may be attending, what day is it on (unless I've somehow missed it)?
Oh dear! Apologies.
Friday, 6th. Was just trying to spread the word quickly.
