Alty 0-3 Sheepshaggers
Att: 1635
I expect us to improve from Saturday at least in terms of overall effort. However, Turnbull will boss the midfield for them against our makeshift lineup and they will be too strong.
Sorry to be so negative, but that's just how I see it happening. Please prove me wrong lads, because I so badly want to win this!!
-
Agree with the 3-0 Macc prediction. Not because we are that good, but because your home form is very poor. Plus we have been pretty tight defensively so far. Sorry!
Having said that, it's a derby and anything could happen.
Like the sheepshaggers nickname, very inventive! I can see your away support now at the Moss Rose - "ooooh, look, some hills" ;D
-
I dare to dream (otherwise i'm doing a 350 mile round trip for little more than sheepbotherer baiting)
Altrincham 3-2 Sheep Mithering Rural Interbreeders
Don't care who scores as long as we score last.
Don't care how many go as long as its over 1800 and no blood is spilt off the pitch.
Cant wait
-
Have to agree with the realists/pessimists; I can't see anything but an away win, tho' I would be over the moon to be proved wrong. Team-wise, assuming no loan signings, Parton still out, S. Williams unfit & both Cavanagh & Marshall suspended I foresee Coburn; Densmore, Havern, Leather, Griffin; Lawrie or Crowther, Richman, Moult or Wilkinson, Clee; Gillespie, Reeves. Bench - two of Crowther, Lawrie, Moult & Wilkinson plus Perry, M. Williams & Samberg. If the gate is less than 1500 both clubs have problems!
-
I think we'll get soundly beaten. I can't imagine Parton will have recovered, so we are stuck with Coburn. Nor can I see Crowther managing 90 minutes after all that time off. I'm glad Marshall is unavailable, but I have a horrible feeling Perry will start.
I won't be going. It's not because I think we'll be beaten, but because I don't really want to take my son to a game where I fear there is a risk of violence, if not in the ground, then outside afterwards. Radio Robins for me.
-
Risk of violence? Not from the Alty fans anyway.

Why on earth is there a risk of violence over many other games we'll play? We want a bit of banter and no doubt we will give each other loads and the players alike but I am not sure any of us and any of them want it to be violent.
This is a massive local derby game which the younger ones won't have seen the like of. When you grow up as a football fan who actually goes the match these are the occasions that you remember all your life, and not because you've seen any violence.
You can't avoid a game like this because there might be a few idiots in the crowd.

Not the Alty fans I'm worried about, obviously.

I think you're being a little naive to think there is as much likelihood of trouble tomorrow, as against Bristol Rovers or Barnet for example.
I don't fancy walking my son back to the car past the chequers end, through what may well be an ugly crowd of Macc fans.
-
I think I'm correct in thinking that the last competitive fixture between us was the Cheshire senior cup final at Witton in 2000?
Plenty of idiots fighting that night.

Exactly, these things have a habit of getting out of hand. If I was going alone, I'd take my chances, but not with a 10-year old in tow.
-
The police are all over it, both in town and at the game, there will be no chance of any trouble, don't deny yourself for something that's not going to happen. Even any 'early arrivals' will be being monitored. It isn't the first time the town/club has hosted a football match...
-

There was a bit of argy-bargy at half time, because the idiots didn't segregate the game. It was hardly Green Street!
There won't be any aggro tomorrow night and people should not be afraid to go along. Just don't stand near the segregation if you're that worried.

Saying it was "hardly Green St" is missing the point totally. Had I been a parent at the time I wouldn't have wanted my kids near any violence however serious or not.
Two things aside from half time I remember from that match were fans (on both sides)coming into the bar and being extremely aggressive towards their opposite numbers before the game, totally unprovoked. And then fans - both sides - afterwards outside the ground punching and kicking their opposite numbers unprovoked as well.
It was disgraceful to see, and lots of people on the receiving end were totally innocent and had just gone for the game with their families.
I don't know if you saw any of that, but if you had maybe you wouldn't be so confident of a quiet night tomorrow. You certainly can never say that you know there'll definitely not be trouble, that is stunningly touchingly naive.
-
I'm not naive at all, I've been going to these derbies since the early 90's and cannot remember much violence at any of the games I've been to. A lot of needle, yes, but not actual violence. That match you referred to at Witton was very poorly organised from a safety point of view and I know for a fact that Moss Lane tomorrow will be a much safer place to be than Wincham Park was that night. I also don't recall any violence outside the ground that night, but I'm not denying it took place.
-
Our goalkeeper from that night has now been promoted to kit man.
-
Most macc fans are ok but if they do have a small "firm " nowdays lets hope the police will be there and not just onstandby.Would hate to see another Chester game scenario.

Sorry, my point is more along the line of Hughesy. The increased risk is met with increased measures, there's not the same atmosphere surrounding this game either. I havent seen any threads for example treating this as a massive day out with pub crawls, all day drinking, flares (not the trouser type) and confetti being mentioned. Most of us are cringing already.
I've got kids, i'm not taking them because one of them is too young to be awake at that time and the other is more interested in making bracelets out of loom bands. I wouldn't worry about taking them though, I meant just take my own precautions like where i stand in the ground and not parking so i walk past away fans.
Its a bit extreme to avoid a game because of a risk of violence when Alty is involved and I hope others don't read the thread and suddenly think there might be trouble.
Now on the other hand if you dont like colourful language then stay in and watch 'Im strictly a celebrity on ice' or whatever family friendly tripe theyre rolling out these days.

Att 1,827
Judging by Sean Williams' disgruntled gestures towards the Alty bench when he was substituted against Welling United last Saturday, I don't think that he thought that there was any problem with his fitness.
-
There was no trouble outside witton it was teeming with police and police dogs after the can throwing incident at halftime, so i wouldn't whip things up catherine street if I were you, its a bit naughty. If anyone wants to come with the intention of causing trouble then they need to be aware this is an a graded football stadium, not some field somewhere, and they'll get nicked and a banning order, simple.
-

Genetics dictates that all Macc fans are ugly.
Only setting up a cut-price cosmetic surgery practice on Chestergate in the town centre can address that long-standing issue.

Is the match definately on? The posters outside the J Davidson haven't been updated from the Welling match yet ???

If they are all fit I'd go for that and just swap richman for Gillespie just to try 4 3 3 with crowther if fit and clee up with reeves and wilko infront of richman and Williams but an attacking 4 3 3 like Chelsea at home rather than Chelsea away to a decent side just swap cav for richman and I'd try that side if the whole squad were fit

I think you know you will win this game that's why your on here a lot there will be to many police for trouble the club learnt the lesson after Chester I hope as for the Cheshire cup I saw no fighting but if you did fair enough
-
I think the only violence at the game will be the stuff that is made up on the messageboards after. We're not a bunch of knuckledragging neanderthals FFS.
I remember the CSC game and I think I was about 20 yards from where it 'kicked off' and bar a bit of shouting, didn't know anything had happened until the war stories of something like Millwall v Chelsea from 1975 from the keyboard warriors emerged later.
We sound like we're still going to be missing a couple at the back. I always worry about playing sides in as bad a run as your last three. We've got a track record of giving clubs a kickstart.

Macc fans are quite an ugly bunch but they only have a very small gene pool, seriously though they're not a bad bunch their firm consists of a couple of old blokes, 7 or 8 daft kids and a scary girl with glasses, the vast majority are sound.
-
The nasty incident at the CSC final occurred when fans were trying to change ends at half time through a narrow gate. I recall someone throwing a Pepsi can that hit someone on the head. It was all very something and nothing and wouldn't have happened if the match had been segregated, or the gate wasn't so narrow. The Northwich plod arrived looking for something that wasn't actually happening anymore and got a bit overexcited.
-
Thanks for taking the time to post a more balanced view. Silkyman23. A bottleneck was created as a lot of fans tried to change ends and get through one tiny gate, there was some pushing and shoving, a lot of bluster and a couple of punches were thrown from each side. Someone threw a can that didn't help. That was down the poor organisation from Witton. They then paniced and then Cheshire police arrived with half the force outside at the end.
I have watched Alty for 30 years and have never in that time seen any groups of Alty fans start any trouble at all or storm aggressively into a bar. We have been very lucky never to have had a core element latch onto us. Of course there has been incidents over that time as at most grounds but it has not been instigated by Altrincham supporters.
We've had Bristol Rovers ( and a very angry Bristol Rovers at that) and Lincoln down here, both of whom we heard ( and saw incidents of on youtube) had potential for trouble or spent a lot of time on the pitch. they were stewarded and policed very well and there was not a hint of bother. Most clubs realise there is no one to fight with at Alty. Last season we had 1500 annoyed County fans and we had a drink with them after the game.
Let's focus on the football, if we get the reaction we deserve from Saturday then it should be a decent match.
-
I had the misfortune of standing in the away end the day Macc came and beat us 4-0 (sound familiar?) as I had two friends over from Macclesfield and was outvoted. There wasn't a hint of animosity towards Altrincham FC or Altrincham fans amongst the blue and white congregration. Of course the scoreline might have helped.
-
Been watching Alty since the late 70s and can count on my fingers occasions when there has been bother. Wycombe at their old ground in a trophy tie, Port Vale at home and Bishop Auckland etc. but I can't see there being any bother tomorrow night. I can't make it but hope to tune in.
Come on Alty - this is the game where the players and management can cheer us all up big time.
-
In 17 years of stewarding the only serious trouble at an Altrincham game was Bishop Auckland in 1996 and no Altrincham fans were involled.
The one and only time i had to go to court as a witness and Gerry Berman paid for us to have lunch.

Did he knock on your front door five years later and say he'd only lent you the money for your lunch, before demanding repayment in full? :)

I remember going to Macc in the early 90's near the bottom of the league Macc at the top and winning 3-2 (Dean Pritchard scored two I think & Ryan someone in the Macc goal had a mare), keep the faith we will win tomorrow.

1995/96 that was. Our last win against them in a competitive fixture.
Ryan Price got sent off early doors and we won 3-2 with a beauty from Pritchard clinching the game. I remember big piles of snow at the sides of the pitch and being amazed that the game was even played. Top night! :)

We've had Bristol Rovers ( and a very angry Bristol Rovers at that) .
What is it with Bristol Rovers? We stayed up on the last day of the season (again) with a win there once. It was a meaningless game for them, but their fans reacted by invading the pitch, chucking stones at us and a couple tried to start scraps with our players who had come over to clap the fans.

Sorry might not have been clear, they were very angry with their team but their behaviour was excellent and it was well stewarded and policed.

I have put money on Macclesfield at 11-10, thus ensuring that they won't beat us ::)

I wonder how they will treat you this season after us telling them what Macc fans are really like?

To be fair if the guy doesn't fancy it tonight then that is his decision.
Bristol Is a big City therefore have a high percentage of numpties, which only makes the Macc equation even more strange.

your right no one had to go if they don't want but it's not really that help full stirring up non existent bad feeling and discouraging others
-
Whilst I've no doubt that they'll be a few lads out and about tonight who don't get to the match often, this game was played regularly for 10 years with barely a hint of trouble. No reason to think that'll change tonight. I'm sure unlike previous times against Chester and Wrexham in recent seasons when the Police were caught off guard they will have prepared properly for this tonight. I think to be honest the relatively lowly status of both clubs now-this used to be a game between two sides challenging at the right end-and the fact that City are live on ITV against Roma might knock quite a few floaters off the gate. A bit under 2k I reckon.
-
I reiterate Macc fans are not hooligans, we've played them a lot over recent years and their hooligan firm is tiny, 99.9% of Macc fans are good decent people, they'll be more boisterous than usual but they don't cause trouble. The 0.1% of Macc fans that make up their "firm" will make nasty threats from behind Police lines, if there is no Police presence you won't even see them.
-
If any fan wants to see the derby tonight then get down there
Nothing should put you off so enjoy the occasion
The bigger the gate the better
-
So looking forward to this.
The Alty YOOF will see what a derby is about, none of this Northwich rubbish, THIS is the derby.
Hoping for a great atmosphere, a good game of football and early to bed with 3 points (1 out of 3 might be possible being early to bed).

This Is a HUGE game not just for the players but for us fans too..... 2-1 to Alty tonight a crowd of 1949 and the goals by Damian a Kreme kick from Shaun or Nicky. Looking forward to this game come on Alty let's get back to wining ways and a hige 3 points ;D

We're playing our best back four tonight and I expect Luca to have a fantastic game in response to being dropped last time out.
Ultimately though I can see us losing the midfield battle without Cavanagh's presence. I think they'll pick us off and we'll lose this 0-1 or 0-2.
Come on Alty.
-
With the way Cav's been passing recently it'll probably do us some good to not have him available. I think Moult and Richman should be in the middle. It's a tried and tested combination after all.

Densmore Havern Leather Griffin
Lawrie Richman Moult Clee
Reeves Gillespie
Bench: M. Williams, S. Williams, Wilkinson, Crowther and any youth team striker who is available / anyone but Perry! :)

I think I'm dreading tonight! I've also put a bet on Macc to soften the blow slightly if they lose - but I only had £2.41 in my account to bet with!

Nil nil half time good effort so far
-
Oh my God! I can't believe it!!
Still at work and now holding breath
-
And that my friends is completely incredible! And its what makes football the game it is.
A clean sheet?????
-
First clean sheet of this campaign.. First time haven and leather in centre back four. Penny finally drops for the manager.
-
YEEEEEEEHHHHHHHAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Well done lads, superb stuff! Now carry the boost from this result into Saturday's game at Halifax. Onwards and upwards! :)
-
The whole team worked their socks off tonight and in the end deserved the win, just shows you what hard work and belief can do. Oh and Scott Leather won everything all night long, no coincidence we got a clean sheet.
-
Apart from Willams for Walshaw wasn't that the same starting eleven as for the Guiseley game? No Perry, no Cavanagh and no Marshall and all of a sudden we look like a team. I'm sure Macclesfield will claim they could have played better, but they didn't, and we won. (And by the way I haven't forgotten that Perry and Marshall were instrumental in the promotion clinching goal.)
-
I don't want to knock Tom Marshall but that back four was far more mobile and covered the threat across the pitch, even with two wingers hugging the touchline. Luca was certainly more secure.
Shame none came into the bar ??? James Lawrie would've been carried shoulder high down Moss Lane!
p.s. Scott Leather won every single header, just like he did in the play off final... funny that! jus sayin... ::)
-
1 to 11 were outstanding tonight. Scott Leather, Jake Moult and Damian Reeves were amazing. Just shows what a strong core playing well can do. Williams ran himself into the ground and was possibly subbed 5/10 minutes too late but it doesn't matter in the end. Clee provided an outlet but his final ball was awful. Correct decision to sub him, and definitely at the right time too. James Lawrie proved what a lot of people hae said on here. His best position is behind the striker. He played well, was direct, and what a pearler for the goal!
So proud of all the boys tonight. Well done to Lee and co for setting them up the right way, and well done the lads for executing it perfectly.
Macc were poor upfront but very organised and very well drilled in defence. You can tell why they don't leak goals. We didn't give them an inch. Fabulous scenes!
-
Shame none came into the bar ??? James Lawrie would've been carried shoulder high down Moss Lane!
Luca was in the bar talking to his Dad and I also saw Nicky Clee briefly........Damian's Mum was in the bar as well so maybe he came in at some time during the evening.........although I fully take your point when it comes to players coming in the bar and chatting to supporters, especially those who regularly follow the team both home and away

Sorry, I say none, I meant none 'really'.I congratulated Luca, I know Nicky and Damian always come in and I understand if none of them can show their face after losing 0-4 at home to Welling but Jesus, tonight was your floor lads... don't be afraid of your chanting being heard thru the wall of the away dressing room...
-
Good morning altrincham oh also good morning to Cathy street
And silly man life is good the robins are singing
-
What a thoroughly enjoyable evening all round! My highlights were the result, the goal, the resolute defence, Coburn, them being very bothered, the smoke bomb and last of all me celebrating like a man possessed with four Macc fans around me below the gantry
-
Get in great result now let's do it again on Saturday ;D
-
Like a different team. Defended far better.
Biggest improvement was the pressing and harrieing in midfield. much as I like Cavanagh we need the energy of Richman, Williams and Moult in there.
Might go Halifax now
-
Macc's forum funny now. Reduced to saying we fiddled the gate and willy waving about their support and stating we weren't in the pubs before kick off. Sadly for them this does not disguise the fact that on and off the pitch, our grant fiddling inbred wool neighbours were second best.
-
Just because farmers, milkmen and the unemployed can get in the pub for 3pm on a tuesday, the rest of the country has to go to work. For a club "aren't our rivals anymore" they've made some hype out of this game for the last month
-
Regarding the website match report, Wilkinson was booked for an earlier foul where the ref had let Macclesfield play advantage, and the free-kick for the backpass had to be taken short as it was indirect. Any reason why Gillespie was dropped altogether?

Just because farmers, milkmen and the unemployed can get in the pub for 3pm on a tuesday, the rest of the country has to go to work. For a club "aren't our rivals anymore" they've made some hype out of this game for the last month
Judging by the state our very own Rimmer was in last night he made it to the pub at 3pm last Tuesday

Good morning altrincham oh also good morning to Cathy street
And silly man life is good the robins are singing
Hiya. Hope you're enjoying the warm glow of victory. I know I would be if situations were reversed.
All the best 😊

17 years far to long to wait and the manner in which we celebrated probably
Shows the two macc fans on this forum that they played there part
But on a night ware we decided to tighten it up and take a wonder goal
Good crowd might start the belief again

I've been waiting for Jeremy Beadle and a film crew to turn up all day. That really happened didnt it?! Truly outstanding spirit belief and character shown by all last night. And a special mention for my grandad Stuart Coburn, wonderful save near the end at 0-0

According to the Therapy Talk in the programme "Steven Gillespie has managed to disrupt some muscle fibres in his calf" and was due for a late fitness test, which he obviously failed. At the risk of seeming to promote a product in which I have an interest might I suggest buying & reading the club programme?
A massive improvement on which the management and players deserve every congratulation. For me personally some of the gloss was taken off a great night by the shenanigans at the end - it may be a minority view on here, but I'm entirely supportive of ATS in his comments on another thread - but for 90 of the 94+ minutes that was all that a derby match should be; passion, grit, determination, honest endeavour and a little bit of wonder to cap it all off. One question, though - have Macc sold themselves so far down the commercial river in the matter of kit that they have to turn up looking like the mob from the salt mines? Isn't royal blue & white good enough for them?

I never buy a programme. I'd expect information like that to be included in the online match report.

A performance with such determenation and heart the lads did us proud

There was a time when I bought a programme religiously and it would even sour my day if I failed to get one. Once it was about the only way to find out what is going on but the internet arrived and grew and now you can find out and experience stuff that would be of dreams 10 or 15 years ago. When I moved away from the area so couldn't get a Pink anymore the only way sometimes of finding out just the score was in the Sunday papers and often midweek, well forget it.
I still have my collection of programmes, many of which are real nostalgia jolters, but I don't get one these days. I'd be interested to know how sales have held up compared to say 10 years ago but I imagine such stats don't exist.

Great post.
I don't buy a programme on my visits to Moss Lane any more. I would buy one for a decent cup tie or a trophy qtr final onwards as a souvenir, but for a normal league game it's not got the same appeal now we have this site, the main site etc. The 0891 info numbers died because of the web so its possibly time to rethink the programme too. Even the word programme is a bit misleading - we all know the "programme" of events, what happens when. Whilst I would be sad to see the demise of the Robins Review it has to at least break even. How many are sold these days?

Actually it says 'Official Matchday Programme ' on the one I bought last night
