No need to worry............they have been a little late before. The club will probably give the turnstile guys a list so they know who should have a season ticket

Matlock..............or more to the point, Matlock Bath is quite a major tourist attraction ! It's officially the seaside !

It is set in a deep gorge and is built alongside the river Derwent. High on top of the gorge is The Heights of Abraham which is accessed via a Swiss style cable car. Gullivers World is also situated there and the valley floor is all amusements, tea shops, chippy's and boozers. In Winter they have illuminations and raft racing.
Anyone with a large high powered motorbike will already know all this..........it attracts over 2000 bikers every Sunday in the Summer !

Lesson in tourism over............but this place beats a hell of a lot of places as far as a pre-match entertainment is concerned.

Just a note to correct my earlier post...................main website page advises that parking is free.

Still cannot see why the 'new money' guys at Vics are financing the club. Why would they take on the debt and then create more - what can they gain ?..................I keep waiting and thinking that any day soon "all will be revealed" and we will all understand their motives.

However; much as I agree with Ecky that the standard 'does the town want a team' format could be a likely outcome, at the moment these guys have shown no signs of this. In fact they currently seem to enjoy spending their money on a football team for nothing other than watching the games - bizarre

The games I saw him in..........he didn't look ar**d about playing for Alty - was I right ?

As reported by the Messenger...........A local man (property developer) has bid £40M for Blackburn.

Now maybe the last thing Alty need is a property tycoon coming in and putting 'affordable' government housing on the pristine pitch at Moss Lane, but maybe there are few fans out there who went to school with this man and could persuade him to donate £0.5M for a place on the team photo or an overnight trip to Weymouth etc.
Just joking................but on a serious note, it might be worth asking if he would like his companies name around the ground etc for the upcoming FA Cup game against Leeds Utd.

I was on the Chequers end when this happened...........it's the worst thing I've ever seen in football and still think it was a red card and a penalty for a reckless late challenge.

I am guessing, but won't a judge take the view that an injury (serious or otherwise) is a genuine hazard of playing certain sports ? There are currently several young men in the county who are confined to wheelchairs after serious neck injuries playing rugby.
Surely the only way to win a case like this is if it can be proved beyond reasonable doubt that it was deliberate and the intention was to cause serious harm i.e something along the lines of GBH ?
