I have to be posh wherever I live - I grew up in Wilmslow!!!!

I don't think the comments were embarrassing - everyone is entitled to their view. Those of us who live well out of the Alty area cannot get to the number of games we would like, but that does not mean there is any less feeling or emotion about the club, or that we have any less right to express an opinion.
That said, I think the comments are wrong, because I have a different opinion entirely.
2 years ago, around the Lewes game, this forum was full of people saying GH should resign and I remember being part of a minority saying he needs to stay. I am in that same minority now, for a number of reasons ;
1. We are only 8 games in - I understand we have some catching up to do, but a couple of wins and everything looks different. I know none of us can see where that win is going to come from right now, but it will and that is when our season takes off.
2. Plenty of teams have started the opposite to us (Tamworth/Southport) who will be in the relegation mix come the end of the season. We had a very tough first few games, and confidence is low because of those results. Things will change in my view!
3. I don't subscribe to the view that there is going to be a queue half way down Moss Lane of people who can do half as good a job - this is not the plum job some of us want to think of it to be.
If there was a question of GH's commitment then that is a different matter, but his statement late last week has put such fears to bed.
Football is all about opinions, and these are mine!!!!!!

Apology accepted Sledge thank you - you definitely did not hear bad language though (not from me at least).
For what it is worth, from my point of view, I hope you do not go bust - I could not bring myself to support your club whilst Peake has anything to do with you, but do not wish going bust on any set of football fans!

A very big thank you to all of those that posted kind comments on here about our dad, John Murray, and to those of you that e'mailed us with your kind wishes.
Thank you also to the supporters and officials that attended the funeral on Friday. Dad would have been delighted and proud.
A special thank you to Graham Heathcote for giving up part of his day, the day before a home game, to attend the funeral. That would have meant a lot to dad.
There were several mentions of Altrincham FC in the service, as it was such a big part of dad's life, and the flowers were red and white for only 1 obvious reason.

For those of you who knew him, John Murray (our dad) passed away at 6.55am today, having suffered for the past 2 years with an aggressive form of dementia.
Dad followed Alty for the last 40 years and, even with his health problems over the last year or so, continued to be a regular at home and away games.
He will be sadly missed by many - let's hope Alty win at Kiddy today for dad!!!!!

There has been much written about this in the last few days, but this last post by Ecky sums it all up as far as I am concerned. The only bit he forgot was the fact that supporters had given up their Saturday mornings to make the ground look neat and tidy, only for these morons to come posting their out of date stickers all over the ground.

It really is time for a reality check. Who would come in and do a better job than GH with the lack of money available? We are a part time team in a full time league. Before the Cambridge game, we only have 1 less point from the 9 games than we had from the corresponding 9 games last season. We did not win any of those 9 corresponding fixtures last season. This just goes to show what a tough start to the season we have had. I still, strongly, believe that we will get our first win on Saturday, and things will start to roll from there.
Whatever happens, GH has earned the right, in my opinion, to see us through this tricky spell and he will do. Any change would be a backward step and would see the club much worse off. Why do we have such short memories at Alty? Look at where we were 5 years ago, and what we have been through, and it is a miracle that we are still here at all, let alone punching above our weight in the Conference National.
