Title: 20 games
Post by: Mrs Warbouys on January 21, 2016, 12:25:58 PM
I was livid on Tuesday night to bow out of the trophy yet again to lower league opposition. Especially after two day hike to see us put out such a makeshift side. But it's gone now. We've 20 games to play, and need to be winning at least 7 of them. We've another horrendous away fixture on Saturday from which anything would be a bonus.

Next Tuesday sees us play our first home league fixture since 21st November. That's a long time for the club to go with mouth match day income. I know not everyone can get to midweek fixtures and I know the weather is cold. But the club really need as many people as possible to attend next Tuesday. We need the backing from the terraces and we need the financial boost of a decent attendance. Please don't think twice about it, get down and support the club. Get as many friends and family along also, midweek gates are usually poor in winter, but please let's get everyone down to moss lane behind the lads. If we are to survive we need to back the team at moss lane in these 12 homes games. Spread the word folks

We have 11 home games and we should be targeting these for wins, anything away from home draw or win is a bonus and takes the burden down.  Grimsby are on an astonishing run of the last 10 games, be lucky if we got a point, a good performance and some team play from our loanees is the best I think we can expect

Facebook events are good, can any of the Facebook admins create an event we can share, and get Altrincham Today, Mesenger and other local group's pages?

Perhaps even badge it as a homecoming party.  Our resident matchday poster provider can maybe make something along this theme.

I shall ask him now!

We need every player that pulls that shirt on to give 110% every single minute of every single game

We simply have to stay up

Going down would be disaster

the crowd on Tuesday will be 650, only the hardcore

Who else do you expect? We very rarely got over 1,000 without the help of away fans

Completely agree, ludicrous attempt at humour, and while we're at it any maritime disaster will not be fitting!!!!

eightiesrobin,

"Diving for dear life

When we could be diving for pearls."

Elvis Costello's lyrics seem to sum up Alty's season to date rather nicely.

I knew I could rely on you. Yes, very apt lyrics.
