season looks set to run into May at least it will if the Confrence want good quality football played and not a load of knackered players walking round footie pitches.
Yeah, you can just picture it can't you! After 6 games in a fortnight, Alty make the season-ending trip to Cambridge United. Somehow the fixture backlog has rendered all 22 players incapable of running, or even jogging. The game is almost literally a chess match, players walking as quickly as their tired limbs will allow. 20 minutes to go and they are dropping like flies - the pitch is strewn with the prostrate bodies of players who are physically unable to continue. How the conference chiefs now wish they had played on until June to allow these poor fellows to maintain full fitness.
If any club ever has a fixture backlog as bad as ours in April 1991 I will be more than surprised. However, as tired as those players were, they still managed a bit of running in the last few games.
