Title: How low can we go?
Post by: letsbyavenue on January 14, 2017, 04:53:55 PM
  Left match with 20 to go.Not going again til opening game of northern premier league. I earn my money and refuse to be insulted any further by the pile of sh*te alty have become. Relegated 2 seasons running and we are financially well off- what a joke. Bankrupted clubs don't drop as many divisions as this! Going next season will be on basis of £9 to stand or a tenner to sit. Or perhaps would be best going to the local park to watch pub football for free- would see similar commitment levels and better football. Alty you are now a sad joke!!

You'd see more commitment never mind similar! The clubs thriving though so don't worry.

This was no gallant semi fight back as I fear it might be made out to be.  It was a woeful defeat with three goals conceded to a very poor team who had ten men for part of the game

Part of me right now wants everything ripped up in the boardroom, dugout, dressing rooms and this whole stagnant, rotten mess cleared away because I don't see how anything is going to get better any time soon.

What a pathetic bunch of losers we have. Down and out after 10 mins in a must win game. Hannigan, Cryus, Patterson, Newby and  Deasey wouldn't have looked out of place in a circus this afternoon.

Shame about Newby because he's looked quite bright in previous games but at least he's only a loan player and we're not burdened with him. Hannigan and Deasy have contracts until the end of NEXT season!!

Newby had a decent game and put in good balls. He did not do much wrong? Young Taylor played well and so did the new number 10, just needs to shoot to the side of the keeper but confident and greedy which is what we need. Has some lace too.

Looks like im in the minority then.  Thought we dominated the game, played the only football but concded the 3 soft arsed goals ive seen.  Been a fan of Patterson,  but he had a 'mare,  as did Brownhill.  Much better when we went 3-4-3 (again) so thats probably the way forward.

Thought the negative chants were needless and chants and counter productive but you pay your money you entitled to sing what you want. Personally i rather support them for 90mins however difficult its become.

I think the chants were aimed at the Board and management team rather than the players. Rose tinted glasses are also counterproductive but you're entitled to your opinion. We mustn't forget the Club's thriving.

You'll be on your own in the Rose-Tinted Stand next year. I shan't be renewing my season ticket. Apart from Clee, utter garbage.

A bit unfair on the young fella Taylor who made a very assured debut.

Post by: AFC56 on January 14, 2017, 08:02:21 PM
Yes to be fair Taylor did have a good game, but I thought Newby lost the ball too often and was knocked off it quite a bit.

Make no mistake this is not going to end soon, expect a third relegation next season with things as they are.

Theres a cancer in the club - it needs to be ripped out or we will continue to die

Doubt it. Even this team has beaten some of the better sides in the league below.

I get the feeling there will be quite a quality drop when we go into the evostik

Yet to be convinced by Kyle,I thought we looked more steady with McWilliams at left back.

Salford weren't playing today, so I thought I'd see how you were getting on.  It was quite sad to see how far you have fallen.  No desire in that squad for the first 70 mins.  Never saw that in the 10 years I followed Alty, even in the bad times.  Saw it coming though...

What I found most bizarre is the passive acceptance of this shambles.  2 quiet chants from the Golf Road faithful at 3-0, and that was it.  Are Alty fans for real!!!  Nice doesn't win games or turn clubs around.

You should be calling for Rowley's head daily.  He should dread turning up.  His Mausoleum bar might be thriving but nothing else is.

You need to get rid and quick and start again.
I hope you can turn it round in a year or two.  Please don't become the next Vics.

Agreed we need McWilliams at left back. More pace and better defender.

I'm presuming he's not originally from Alty and just wants to watch some decent football,I may be wrong though. I wish I could just go and watch someone else but as it's not that simple after 35 years!

Sorry, I don't see how it's beneficial for the board to not care how well the football team are doing?


What do you think is in it for them if the community side is currently prospering but the team isn't?

The Community side is a seperate company in its own right and its success isn't impacted by the performance of the football team. The board have made poor decision after decision and have not accepted responsibility. I am in full support of the Community Sports company, by the way.

But I still think Rowley will go soon and give us a new start

Why would Graham Rowley go? As I understand it, he is the second largest shareholder and the one shareholder with a larger stake has no desire to be on the board. For Graham to go presumably someone would need to offer a sensible price for his shares and possibly some from other shareholders to give them sufficient control of the club. I would expect too that Graham and other major shareholders would only sell to someone who could give a commitment of significant investment in the club over and above the cost of the shares they would be buying. Until such time as someone appears with such an investment the majority shareholder (ignoring the one that doesn't want to run the club) will quite rightly continue to run the business. I guess the only way this would change is if Geoff Goodwin lost faith in Graham's ability to run the club and decided to rejoin the board himself. I don't see that happening.

Grahame Rowley is just as bad as Jim Rushe and Mike Connett. He's using the football club as his own little play thing and it's ruining the good name of Altrincham Football Club.

I see the situation as very different to Rushe and Connett. For a start he doesn't have overall control of the club. Even ignoring the drug dealing, under both Connett and Rushe, vics treated fans, suppliers, cup opponents etc very badly and tarnished their clubs name probably irretrievably. Regardless of your opinion of how our club is being run it is not comparable to vics.

Nonsense

More understandable comparison but I believe he cares about the club unlike rushe etc who was simply a criminal at the end of the day. I think saying it's his own little play thing isn't right at all.

Whether or not you agree with the board, we aren't supposedly running up debts and VAT bills... (I can't say this for sure... but i'd assume..)
