They are in a no-win situation and I trust them to make the decision that they believe to be the best decision for Altrincham FC. They are the Board and it is their job to do that and not ours.
Whether or not we agree with the decision depends on where we stand on the issue and also being in possession of the same knowledge and details etc etc. However they have a pretty good record so far.
I think most people will agree that the Board are approachable people and will at least discuss the matter. This is something that most clubs at our level don't have ie a board who discuss matters with fans. I know that many people will say they don't listen, but we need to reflect on this comment and ask how much we believe this to be true.
To finish, I am glad I don't have to make this decision, because I can see good reasons to both cancel and to play, but I will place my trust in the Board on this one and sit on the fence.
