John Laidlar reports rumour that they have told all their players that they're free to find new clubs.
-
Nunnnyyyy
-
Nuniny but lots of Nunouty
-
We're supposed to be playing them in three weeks but they might have gone bust by then.
-
Bit early in the season if this is true, if it is then the league has a case to answer for letting them start.

See statement from the owner of their ground which is on John Laidlar's most recent thread. Their backers seem to have been split, or to have simply lost interest. It doesn't look good.

Didn't the Gainsborough Chairman complain during the close season about Nuneaton being allowed to start the season in Conference North?

Article on the BBC - all looks a bit of a mess!

Thrashed 6-0, man sent off and 823 fans responded to the rallying call. I’d be surprised if we have a home game a week on Tuesday...

I suspect they may be able to field a team on October 30th but would not be able to do so two days later - players would be free agents if they weren't paid at the end of the calendar month. Either way I wouldn't expect any points gained to count in the final League table ...

Wouldnt' be more a case of league record and points being expunged and points deucted from the teams who have gained points.

How's this for a report of the last home game with nunny......a familiar ring to a nothing went right at all 3-1 predictable given the horrendous team sheet home defeat...
Altrincham went into the 2017 game with seven players out injured and it got worse. Before kick off, goalkeeper Stuart Tomlinson had been added to the casualty roll-call, joining Shaun Densmore, Sean Miller, Craig Hobson, Tom Hannigan, Tim Deasy and Micah Evans on the list of those sidelined. And Sam Heathcote was to be stretchered off before half-time.
Nuneaton took the lead in the 25th minute, against the run of play, when Geoghagon was allowed a free header from a corner but the goal was credited to Chambers amongst a melee on the goal-line.
After 32 minutes, Alty's goalkeeper, Andrew Jones, making his first league start, came out to kick clear. The ball rebounded off the back of team-mate Sam Heathcote and left Billy Daniels with an open goal and he doubled the Boro's advantage.
Shortly before the break, Alty lost Heathcote to injury after he had apparently been fouled, off the ball.
Four minutes after the interval the Robins did get back in the game when Richman converted Nicky Clee's low cross from the left byline. But the outcome was settled when Nuneaton, on the counter-attack, made it 3-1 thanks to a firm 20 yard shot from Ashley Chambers in the 64th minute.
ALTRINCHAM (Red & white striped shirts, black shorts and socks) 1. Andrew Jones, 2. Chris Lynch, 3. Andy McWilliams, 4. Jake Moult (c) 5. Sam Heathcote, 6. John Cyrus, 7. Elliot Newby, 8. Gary Jones, 9. Simon Richman, 10. James Lawrie, 11. Nicky Clee. Subs 12. Kyle Brownhill, 14. Laurence Taylor, 15. Andy Owens, 16. Damian Reeves, 20. Alan Goodall

Looking at that appalling squad, how on earth did Nuneaton only take the lead, 'against the run of play?' It's almost inconceivable. And we scored too.
-
Alty 7/10
Draw 14/5
Nunny 15/4
Watched the highlights of their game at stockport on Saturday, they should have been 3-0 infront at half time
-
Need to carry on this good home form. Think both Hancock and Dale will start with Harrop playing more defensively.
Alty 2-0 Nuneaton. Hulme Hancock.
-
Sure the lads will be looking to play some good football tonight and carry on the current good home form. Would like to see Hancock in the team behind Hulme with Owen on the wing.
Come on you Robins!
-
Job done. Scoring when we did killed it. Looked a bit off at times first half but never in doubt second half. Needed six points from these last two games to be taken seriously as play off contenders and we got them. Well done lads.
-
Great win reds keep it going
-
4-0 a bit flattering but was a comfortable win. Scoring the first 2 goals just either side of HT won the game
Back 4 superb again, Johnston my mom.
-
Enjoyed the game tonight, my MOM could have been any from Tom Hannigan, Owen Dale and JJ. All players did their bit for me, a good all-round performance by the lads. Chorley dropped points again, win our game in hand over Chorley and we are six points behind them, and still to play home and away. On a winning streak now and I bet we give both Hereford and Chester a game in next couple of weeks.
Given time could be playoff contenders and would not discount us as possible champions. On our day we are capable of giving any team a decent game in this league. Let's see how far we can get.
-
We were dreadful in the first half, but scoring in stoppage time, then being gifted a second straight from the restart, took any pressure off us. After that, it was just a matter of how many we won by.
How on earth Harrop won MOM is beyond me. He put practically every pass astray in the first half, and was substituted midway through the second ! I thought Dale was very good tonight, JJ was the logical choice for MOM (but only he knows how he missed his hat trick after Hulme set him up perfectly), however Hannigan was my choice.
-
It was a comfortable and deserved win in the end, even if it was a touch flattering and didn't look so sure in the first half. JJ was my man of the match, too, although I take One Foot in the Grave's point that he missed his easiest chance.
Nuneaton do seem to have a prospective buyer now, so it looks like a good night all round, if those reports are true.
-
How did the 2nd goal go in? I'd looked away assuming it was simple for the keeper.
-
It squirmed through his legs and had enough energy left to trickle over the line.
First half was like the Alamo. Nuneaton were playing out of their skins to keep a clean sheet. Once we'd got the first goal I expected them to fold. All credit to them for keeping going to the end. Even at 3 - 0 down they still tried to come back.
-
Just back home after a cold evening in Alty.
Fair dos to Nunny who fought hard throughout. There no3 must be the smallest player I've seen at moss lane ever. I honestly thought he was the mascot when he came out. I bet JJ felt like a giant against him.
A good win, now it's onwards to Hereford next Saturday.
Cmon Alty...
-
Decent win.
Took us 35 mins to get going. We stepped up the tempo and started to shift the ball quicker.
Great runs by JJ second half. Dale had a good game.
Back 4 and Moult were solid.
Onwards and upwards. Well done lads.

Wikipedia have him at 1.77 metres (a shade over 5'9") which simply can't be right ! Certainly smaller than Chris Senior (whatever happened to him ?)

I think Chorley's form has raised a few eyebrows - for the first time in a few years, it doesn't look like there's an obvious moneybags team that'll pull away just yet.
I still think we're too inconsistent (and lacking a plan B) to mount a title challenge, and two routine home wins against two of the division's bottom six sides (I'd hazard a guess) doesn't change that.
My pre-season money was on Chester, as they recruited well. They've got over the 8-1 blip v Blyth and seem to be well placed amongst the pack now.
-
Kidderminster will win the league, for me.
-
Onward and hopefully upward only a couple of places off a play off spot difficult games coming up against Hereford and Chester + Brackley and a re-arranged against Chorley. If we are still in the top ten after that lot i will be well happy and we really would be play off contenders
-
I think it's good that we've finally got our home form back on track, but it remains to be seen whether we can maintain our consistency enough to get near the top of the league and stay there. If we could somehow put a run together similar to the one we went on last autumn/winter then anything is possible, but my gut feeling is that we'll be around the lower playoff places come the end of the season.

Just heard on Midlands news that Nuneaton have a new owner, Nick Hawkins so hopefully Tues good result won't be in vain 😉

Good news Ray. Would hate to see a proper non league club like that go under. But they really need to engage with the populace. I still wonder how many in our age group they've lost by not having reduced prices for pensioners.
