https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/sport/17221458.alex-bray-is-an-electric-addition-to-york-city-ranks/
Couldn’t make it last night, but the locals have a spring in their step following the new additions and a decent showing in the Cup at Swindon. I was at the recent BPA game and it was pretty even up to the sending off that resulted in the opening goal from the penalty spot. I think it’ll be much tougher than their form might suggest.
-
Our record against York makes for depressing reading, but given that they couldn't beat Chester last night at home, we ought to be good enough on Saturday.
-
Should be another good game, we can beat anyone in this league on our day. I have every confidence the team will be up for this.
Come on you Robins
-
Our goal scoring record is massively better than theirs so I'm hoping for another win. Looking forward to this and the return leg. Easy to get from York so they ought to bring a few supporters
-
Last time York came 444 in the away played on a Tuesday Police intel up to the match suggested no more than 100
would travel. Bit of trouble at the end with 2 stewards injured, Hope the club have enough resources in place
for Saturday.
-
Play like we have been doing and i would back us t beat anyone in this league
-
Guessing Richman will come in for Harrop, hopefully Poole gets on the bench.
Alty 2-0 York. Hulme, Jones. Attn 1006.
Should be segregated

Yes it needs to be segregation.
It was expensive but I was impressed with how quickly you could get booze at Chester.
As said many times, place a bottle bar at the away end.
-
With plenty of moves in and out, York seem to have tightened up their defence, but still can't score, as shown by their 0-0 draw with Chester, so I will go for a 1-0 home win in front of 1675.
-
It's on the official website. Match is segregated. Hobgoblin blonde bought in as a guest beer. Tasty but I'm having a dry November so more for everyone else.
-
Much as I hate the idea of segregation - it goes against everything I want as a spectator at a football match - it does make sense in certain circumstances. Games against ex-Football League clubs are prime candidates for segregation, so for York on Saturday I think, much as I regret the necessity, it's the logical move.
-
Main Stand wont be segregated......
About time away supporters wanting to sit down we allocated an area within the stand.
Hopefully not many away supporters will come into the stand.

Ah, cheers.
Will be a big miss, make things happen by looking / passing forward at every opportunity, great player to watch.
Play like we did last Sat and we’ll cruise it, looking forward to it.

Play as we're capable of and we will win.
Alty 3-1 York
Att 1200
Looking forward to it.
-
Best I think I have seen Hancock play second half, won every header, pressed when he needed to and dropped in when he needed to, also looked really dangerous in the no.10 position linking the play
-
Superb 2nd half..moss lane rocking
Love watching this team
-
when was the last time we went ninety minutes without making a substitution?
-
No need to upset the team by using a substitute. We just overran them. Another cracking performance. Shame it's a cup game next week. I'm really enjoying rising up the league.
-
i didn't say there was a need. i was just asking the question.
-
Thanks lads and management, you were great today, what a performance. You fully deserved the ovation after the game.
-
Now 7th on goals scored and in play off spots
-
We are a really good team and it took some fine goals to beat a truly splendid goalkeeper. Today I got the feeling that the players believe they can actually do this. Motm could have been anyone, but my choice would have been Jake by a whisker. Can't wait for the next game.
-
Thanks Phil, it's a pleasure to watch,your Team.
And great to see Alty Rocking.
⚽️⚽️⚽️

Another good performance, although the first half was a stalemate, I thought we worked hard and then turned on the style in the second half.
Being able to dispatch mid table teams like this, is promotion form.
At the moment, we are really stretching the game with Dale and Johnson on the wings, I think Johnsons form has improved over the last few games he was sharp and caused chaos in their defence.
Also I was a bit concerned before the game, in the middle of the park without Williams and Harrop, but again we did a job here.
I am not sure if they are a poor team or we just played well, but we made them look very ordinary today, and if it wasn't for some brilliant saves from their keeper it would have been half a dozen.
If we can keep everyone fit, we have a great chance, it is just the strength in depth which is now the concern, especially when Owen's loan deal ends. Hopefully Williams is back soon.
Onwards and upwards, this is brilliant.
-
Impressive second half performance, it could have been 5 or 6 but their keeper pulled off some very good saves. Plus what seemed like clear hand ball by their no.4 was not given as a penalty - it would be good to see that back on Alty TV, but in the end it didn't really matter as we overran them late on as York fell away ...
Jake deserved Mom for us and quality strike for the second goal.
Well done to PP, NS and the lads!
-
From the official match day text. Is this true? I remember winning at Bootham Crescent one winter...
Fun fact: Altrincham have never beaten York in a league game. If we don't today I'm very very sorry for jinxing it.
-
We did win 2-1 at Bootham C with Dale Johnson getting the winner.
-
Wow . We contained them for 45 minutes then destroyed them for 45 . Thier keeper was class. What a performance . Well done all
-
One of the best performances since 2014 promotion looked like the York fan on the pitch was very close to assaulting their manager , scandalous he should be banned by them
-
Very even first half albeit 2 contrasting styles. Second half was the best we've played since PP took over. Superb from everyone and a well deserved mom for Moult. I must say that Hannigan is the best CB I've seen in this league.
Not sure how I feel about next weeks Trophy game, and they probably feel the same
-
Playing alongside Tom Hannigan must be an absolute dream for young James Jones.
-
Just coming on to say today was great by the team. York had a stubborn defence but we were patient. First half was a bit scrappy as York made it difficult fair play to them. Second half we looked like a team that can definitely be in the playoffs. We made loads of chances and got the rewards. To think they’re full time and had overweight journeymen coming on! Their number 6 should have gone straight red. We looked younger and better all around. It’s looking good at the mo!

I think their "fan" just got ejected from the ground. No further action as far as I could see. Plenty of fans on their forum think he did what they didn't have the bottle to do.
I think they are where we were two seasons ago. A sprinkling of talent, a few injuries and lots of journeymen. On top of that they've fallen a lot further than we did and they're about to lose Bootham Crescent.
-
I think that was the most controlled performance I’ve seen since the unibond winning year (1999?) Every player was superb but Moult and Hannigan were the stand out players. It’s such a pleasure to watch this team, we need to enjoy it while we can!
-
7 unbeaten in the league six of them victories 5 of them emphatic, this is the best time to be an Alty fan loving the quality of the football
-
Spoke very briefly with James Poole before the game. He was so positive about the technical ability of the the whole squad of players at the club and also spoke about the team spirit at the club created by PP and NS - in effect they want to play for each other and are united as a team. Good to hear.
As for today, well it has all been said, but second half was immensely impressive
-
It rather reminded me of watching an FA Cup tie where the gallant underdogs are eventually squashed by the superior skills of their opponents. York were definitely the underdogs today.
-
Well, here we go again. These drives back and to from Shropshire are a lot more pleasant these days.
Another emphatic win against a York side who considering they are full time were made to look quite ordinary by our second half performance..
A spectacular opener by Josh. Looking fwd to seeing that on the highlights.
Jake was again immense as were others in the side especially Hannigan .
In fairness there keeper was superb also.
Great to see 1600 plus crowds at Moss lane.
The place is bouncing again, long may it continue.
Roll on BPA..

Nearly 1700 in attendance without any discount offers.

I was just going to post that the highlights were on the Vanarama site! The quality isn't the best though.
What an excellent second half. I thought that York just about edged the first half but without creating any real chances.
No one has mentioned Simon Richmond's contribution. He was everywhere.
Well done to everyone involved.
Only down side for me was the big long queues in the bar but good revenue for the club! SBL
-

Jones can hold his own and deserves his own credit.
Very good defender and I believe it will be him or Hulme we lose first.
-
To add we were class second half.
Moult has gone onto a new level.
The direct attacking football was unreal.
This is the best football I've seen us since the McKenna and Showler days without doubt.

Really? I’d to think the 94-95 season is up there

Maybe some of the increased bar profits could be set aside for extra floodlight bulbs. After recent games at Kidderminster, Stockport and Chester it shows up how inadequate our floodlighting is.

Lets hope not for a while yet but I agree, I had originally thought Harrison and Goulding were better options than Jones but doubt that now,

Yeah mate. Football has developed and improved so much. The pace it was played yesterday was immense. I think we have a better footballing team.

I have very little in it between the 2014 play off wiining team and the current team.Still a couple of players around from then but take them out and its pretty close imo.

It was a pretty stupid thing for the York fan to do, but I don’t think our own stewards covered themselves in glory either.
I understand that if someone is determined to jump over a barrier and run onto a pitch, then preventing it is difficult. However, it’s worrying that he was able to get all the way from the goal to the dugout completely unchallenged, while the stewards looked on bewildered.
Then, even when the lad was abusing the manager in front of the dug out, it was left to the assistant and the physio to try and restrain him, before they actually had to ask the nearest stewards to come and get him. It was all a bit embarrassing, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was included in the refs report.
It’s hardly the most important part of the match (I’d much prefer to have decent players than decent stewards!), but if we are going to serve alcohol throughout the bigger games, then it’s important to make sure that adequate crowd safety measures are put in place before someone gets hurt.
Only caught the last 10 mins of the game, but that third goal was superb.
-
A really professional, patient performance from the boys - to a man they were excellent and of course being led by Jake who is playing out of his skin at the moment
What's great is that players that didn't start the season sharp (e.g. Richman, Hancock) are coming in and making a real difference, as I'm sure the likes of Dens and Poole will do when they properly get their turn.
Great strength in depth these days.
-
We're fully in our stride now. At the start of the season I think there was a question mark in the players minds. Having moved up a division they weren't sure how much better the opposition would be. Now they know they can't be complacent but there isn't much to fear.
That postponed game against Chorley was a lucky break. It could have been psychologically damaging if we'd taken a heavy loss but even they are looking beatable now.
The league leaders are coming next week and we've already beaten them twice this season. Heady days.

You probably see much more of them than me Ol, but isn’t that a bit premature? I don’t mean this in a disrespectful way, and am not trying to downplay anything the players we have now have achieved so far, but the 94/95 team were genuine contenders for promotion to the Football League and reached the 3rd round of the FA Cup. The current side is 7th in a regional league, and didn’t get past the FA Cup Qual rounds. Even allowing for football moving on with the passing of time, surely things need keeping in perspective?
If we are actually surpassing the 94/95 then fair enough, but that would be some achievement.
-
For me it's still the great team of the late 70's and early 80's that won the Trophy, and the Conference twice, and took Spurs to a replay.
-
I don't think anyone is doubting we've had better teams, looking at our history - but for our millennial fans, it's probably the most exciting team we've had to back.
I thought Sinnott was a good manager - but there was always just that vital disconnect for me (a lot to do with his location).
-
With this team for me it's all about potential, we have to give them a chance to develop further. they may even surpass previous teams, it is still early days as yet.
The important thing is to keep building on this and see where it takes us.
I am very impressed with the players who were with us when things were bad such as Jake and Simon and Shaun. They have adapted with the team and turned things round.

I just think we've hit upon the successful formula for a management team to do well in the Conference North. It has to be a bald guy with an assistant called Neil. Attempts to kill two birds with one stone by hiring a bald guy called Neil proved disastrous and are never to be repeated.
