To all of those making today's trip to Worcester, I salute you. Every single one of you should be reimbursed for your journey, match ticket and beer money. As a long time supporter and away supporter, I genuinely don't have it in me to go to this game. I have travelled more miles than I can count, spent more money than I can afford and jeopardised careers, relationships and my health to follow this team over the last 17 years, but it is just a drop in the ocean in comparison to a lot of the people that follow Our Club and every single person that goes today is a better person than me and a credit to this fine club.
I say Our Club because it is ours. As a collective. The club can't run without the fans. All the hard work that Jack and Andrew put in on social media to attempt to (successfully) grow crowds, all the work that is done in the community by the board which has added to the fan base and people being aware of the clubs name, all of the money spent by the loyal supporters who have watched sh*t after sh*t over the last 18 months, it'll all be a waste if we continue to sink.
It's time for the board to put aside their differences with the fans. For the players to stop sulking and hold their heads up high. For everybody at the club, from top to bottom, to pull together. For a sincere acknowledgement from the board that we are valued. Not just a free coach journey every now and then but a heartfelt message of thanks for the time, effort, money and passion that has been put in.
The patience shown by the fans has been incredible, the support superb and the loyalty amazing. We are entitled to moan when things are wrong and should not be shamed on social media, in the news and by the board.
This is Our Club. Our Altrincham. And we'll be there, through thick and thin.
