Whilst I still feel that things happened off the pitch last season which were unprofessional and unethical, I have seen enough in the away friendlies to convince me that I simply must return to Moss Lane as of tomorrow night.
The style of football that PP has set up looks exciting....and, after all, what happens ON THE FIELD is the most important factor. I feel I would be deprived of some very worthwhile experiences if I stayed away.
So......I've neither forgiven nor forgotten. But I have moved on.

Good for you mate, you're they sort we want back and I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

What "sort" dont you want back Steve?

We don't want any division at a football club of this size, and it's not the main bulk of the support that have caused any. I cannot believe there is anyone who really finds any justification whatsoever at all for what has gone on in this last 15 months. They might say it, but they won't believe it. We need this club back out of this embarrassing footballing backwater at the very earliest opportunity simple. The club needs a reboot, and that means on all fronts. The process has started, but as I've said before I want the leadership projecting the club in the boardroom and sponsors areas, not working the bar and folding away tables, it's admirable, but it's not the role of the figurehead. No one has said the current chairman should not have a role at the football club, he works harder than most for its benefit, as a supporter. But for me we need none emotional hard nosed leadership, it's the way the game is now, and ultimately ( but not totally) why we've found ourselves playing parks football without a financial meltdown or incredible back story.

I stopped going last season as i simply couldn't justify £14 to watch a "team" so bereft of ideas and passion
I was always coming back however
I hope Phil can give this club some pride back which has been stripped bare over the last 18 months by some terrible decisions

Am I the sort you want back Steve from Sale?

With all these sort of people coming back, we might need a clicker to count them back in.

I am maintaining my quiet protest as I don't want division to upset what I hope will be an exciting season...
I have been to two away friendlies and aim to get to nearly all away games this season
I expect I am not the sort of fan wanted at moss lane....
-
In the away games I have seen so far, we have played some pretty impressive football and in PP, I believe we have an absolute gem of a manager. I've always expected us to win a league we shouldn't even be in.
But if things remain unchanged behind the scenes, it's not inconceivable that we'll be back to square one the season after.
-
you're they sort we want back
Have to hope that this is just poorly worded. If not, this is the kind of attitude that is going to promote division rather than put a stop to it. We want all Alty fans "back", but if people feel there are issues that need to be resolved before they can come back, that is their prerogative.
For what it's worth, having heard and read a lot about the team since PP took over, I feel cautiously optimistic going into the new season. It is the season that nobody wanted, but I am hoping that we look back in years to come and see 2017/18 as the beginning of a happy chapter in our history.
Here's hoping....

Got one season now to sort out things off the pitch before a push at the Conference North, in my opinion we should be good enough to be promoted from this league as we are.
Don't see how without major changes the current set up, or at least last seasons, can lead us into another conference North season.
Hopefully the push for investment proves fruitful
Plenty of good aways this season for us Midlands based fans, starting at Matlock!

I'm not doing the in's and outs of it but if this is your quiet protest (and the Radio Robins thread), I'd love to know what you'd be posting if you were telling everyone!

I feel it has to be said....although not in a major way...I'm f***ing gutted at making myself miss out on tonight and what I'm sure will be a season full of memorable games at moss lane...
I honestly don't want to rock the boat .....but the way some fans have been treated deserves a protest....I'm being quiet....but I never said silent.
Would respect your views on affairs at Alty and I'm dammed sure I deserve my views to be respected if not agreed with ecky!
End of the day there is over £200 burning a hole in my pocket because Rowley thinks he is the man for the job.....well I'll support PP the players but not him.....been on the receiving end of what some fans endured last season.....
wouldn't have had to post my views again if you hadn't rattled my cage... ;D
And as you've often pointed out there's only a handful of fans on here so I'm hardly telling everyone... also sadly there have only been about 10 on the RR chat recently whereas in the conference we were getting over 50....

Your views are definitely to be respected and that's why I said I wasn't getting into the in and outs of them.
I was just being light hearted (without the subject being light hearted) about the volume of your protest.

The vast majority will be back people will watch a winning team which this year they should be

Think you are probably right Jimmy, and if we can hit the ground running and win the league crowds may even be up on last year, the extra interest of a winning side counteracting any loss of away fans....although there are a few decent clubs in this league who will bring a few to moss lane.
Sorry ecky I am struggling with staying away......I'm so excited by PP and the prospect of a bit of pride returning this year....I want to go tonight but in disguise ;D.....but at the same time I don't want any distractions at all from PP and the team winning.....so yes there is a contradiction in having my quiet protest but getting all upset and wanting my feelings to be heard when someone posts they are coming back....and as for that wayno?....always coming back???........SPLITTER!!!

A term that always brings up some rather unpleasant imagery involving extreme deviancy, a rodent and a roll of gaffer tape.

Re the radiorobins chat room, it has become quieter but I think this is because its easy to log onto the stream without taking the chat room, particularly on a mobile device

I tried to send a message to say thanks after listening to the last few mins but it didn't let me and kicked me out so that could be another reason why...

Sorry guys, 'your sort' means the fans who decided to boycott the club with their own valid reasons, but have decided to return once again.
Glad to see you back again, that's all I meant!!

On the Radio Robins chatroom I cannot get onto it now with my laptop, or even the RR site - I have to use Carys from Chester's and I cant get onto the chatroom from there either

Thanks for flagging this. I think that we probably need a new Chat Room at some point as the one we have isn't the best.

the ability to ignore trolls is very useful however!

what is the continues talk of trolls people have very good reasons to slag off the club

on the chatroom during games we get some proper idiots, sometimes away fans, sometimes it's hard to tell, but nothing but terrible language and 'false news' of goals that haven't been scored. Deadly sniper is a regular who generally gets everyone wound up.
