Both teams should be well rested. Shaw lane AQUAFORCE will have a couple of suspensions of lads that should have sat out today. Also they are providing free coach travel for their supporters

Will the yoga class go ahead though...?

Meanwhile all eyes and ears are on Sutton Coldfield. It's just like The Golden Shot - one for the youngsters there.

Hopefully Jones and/or Hannigan will be available.
Hoping for a strong referee, who'll take no nonsense from the Shaw Lane bully boys.
Alty 2-0 Shaw Lane. Poole, Hancock. Attn 679

Kelvin lugsden & Jake Skelton will both be suspended on Tuesday with their match today being off

Just to be clear it wasn't Yoga!
But it does generate income to pay the team.
-
I thought non-football related income was kept separate and didn't benefit the football club at all.
-
Aquaforce is an apt name considering the amount of rain we've had. Best tell them to bring there arm bands

No it doesn’t.

I was told the CSH is a registered charity. If that is the case how does that generate income for the club?
-
Getting anybody through the door, even if only to use the CSH, will benefit the club whether directly or indirectly.
It will get the name of Altrincham football club and what they can offer out to more people. This in turn could get more people through the turnstiles, spending money on entrance, food, drink etc.
It wasn't ideal hosting the 'yoga' on a match night but if it was already a long-standing prebooking, I'm sure the pros and cons of cancelling it were thought about. It didn't impact negatively on the night from my persepctive and I used the CSH for a drink pre, during and post game. The only negative comments appear to be from those who are choosing to stay away from home games, so didn't actually see the impact it had.
Unlikely, but there's a chance the partners of those doing the class didn't even know there was a game on. They will do now and may keep an eye out for future fixtures, they may even have come along to the game whilst their partner took the class if they were made aware the game was on.
As a part-time, unbankrolled, club every penny counts towards a push back up the league pyramid.

Any chance we can discuss the up coming football match on the “match thread” folks?

Good point Pete. Though I'm not confident of it going ahead. Snowing gently in Timperley at the moment.......

Two minutes later replace "snowing gently" with "sleeting heavily".
I feel my Seasonal Affective Disorder kicking in. At least it's four months later than last season.

I don't understand why we reschedule matches for nights when there's yoga on?

We SHOULD try to avoid bookings for the CSH on Tuesdays perhaps ? Sleet stopped but it's very wet out there.
-
Or maybe we should switch our midweek games to Monday or Wednesday's?

Don't let it concern you, you don't attend home games so it shouldn't matter.
Hopefully the game is on and a comfortable home win.

Huge game this, win and 9 points ahead of them with their 3 point deduction still anticipated-it would be a big step towards automatic promotion. Really hope we get it on as half term week so should be a good midweek attendance. Also hope we get a strong ref, can anticipate them trying the rough stuff.

Agree huge game this, but the yoga class is also hugely important to the club. The two shouldn't be clashing like this, the game should have been scheduled for the Wednesday
-
What's the general consensus of the likelihood of the pitch being ok for Tues significant game?

For what it's worth, BBC online weather forecast for Alty is light rain overnight thru 9am tomorrow, then dry & breezy. Tuesday light rain & sleet from about 7am thru 4pm. As I'm 15 miles away I can't comment on conditions in Alty, but that's what the BBC are predicting. Make of it what you will ...

I’m being a bit facetious. It really doesn’t bother me. Granted, that’s easy for me to say as I don’t go to home games anymore, but we are averaging 500-odd home crowds on a Tuesday night this season, playing in a minor regional league. Does anyone really care if they rope off half of the sports hall for a bit of dancing?
In fairness though, when we used to be football-focussed ourselves, there was always a disproportionate amount of fuss, ridicule and snide remarks made by plenty of the posters on here when we used to go to places like Hinckley etc. and they’d have non-football activities taking place at the same time as first team games. So at least those making an unnecessary fuss, now we are doing the same, are consistent if nothing else.

Going back to the weather, it all depends on how much it dries out today given the weather's going to be good, i.e. sunny with a bit of a breeze and staying above freezing.
There's no heavy rain due from now until then - just a critical 3-4 hours before KO where it looks like there's going to be rain and sleet due.
I'm hopeful they can get this on, but I haven't seen the state of the pitch going into today.
-
There was about an inch of snow/sleet last night by the ground, sun in now out. Really depends on how the water dissipates if at all, were covers in place?
If no more snow/rain then there is a chance of game being on as long as does not freeze in my opinion.

Current BBC online forecast is dry today, light rain tomorrow morning becoming showery from lunchtime & dying out by late afternoon, then rain from Weds lunchtime into Thursday morning but dry after that thru Fri & Sat. On the face of it Sutton Coldfield on Saturday seems to have a reasonable chance of being played, but I suppose that could be affected by the state of the pitch if tomorrow night goes ahead? Time alone will tell, I guess.

Alty 4/5
Draw 11/4
Shaw Lane AQUAFORCE 12/5
The AQUAFORCE the value at that price. Looking at their away record though they have not played away at us, Grantham or Warrington yet so difficult to gauge. Of the next tier of sides though they drew at Ashton and beaten at Farsley and Barwell which probably gives you the best indication. I’m cautiously optimistic we’ll beat them if it’s on.

Excellent choices....Give Me Everything is another favourite and The Light Pours Out of Me....and...and.....Real Life was a great debut album.

Main site says pitch inspection around midday-lunchtime. Rained for 30 mins around 6.30am, not much since. More rain forecast this morning. I guess it is 50-50 at the moment over match being on.
-
Bemused there’s a pitch inspection, if the worst bits have been covered it should be playable, it snowed all day last Tuesday and it played ok. The stiff breeze will help also, I’d expect far more than a 50/50 chance if I’m honest

Agreed. If it hasn't been played on for a week then it will be fine.
-
Heavy rainfall due late morning / early lunchtime. If the pitch survives that, we're game on.
I'd push the inspection back to 1-2pm just to make sure the worst has passed over.

Huge game tonight should be a good crowd with the kids of school,are the club doing the

Hopefully the game is on
