Got back about an hour ago.  Not the best game of football but, God, that was a sweet way to end it.  Notwithstanding the red (probably the correct decision from what I saw) the ref and liner had an absolute shocker.  Disappointed in Dackers, who seemed to lack any desire to win possession, or to retain it on the rare occasions he had the ball.  At least Dior ran about and made a nuisance of himself.  Still, all that doesn't matter given the result.  Well done to those who travelled, not too bad for a rearranged fixture, particularly when Utd were on the box.

Work commitments meant that I was unable to go last night but having reminded myself of the shambolic injustice when Rochdale kept us out of the football league, I'm glad I didn't pay the scandalous £24 to watch what was, but all account, a very poor Alty performance.

I think that our league position maybe flatters us a bit and now teams around us are starting to show a bit of form, I'm less sure of where we will end up at he end of the season - I'd be delighted with a play-off stop.

No use crying though, and a big response is needed this weekend to galvanise and bring back a bit of confidence to the squad.  Onwards.

I'm working this evening otherwise I would be there (fresh air being good for you if nothing else).

I've yet to visit a new ground that I've thought was better than ML and therefore presented itself as a model to work towards.  Without exception they seem to me to be soulless.

Going+1.  Looking forward to it.  After our first home performance and the win at Woking, I'm uncharacteristically/ridiculously optimistic.  Be great to come away with a win.....momentum breeds success.  #coyr

I tend to be very choosey where pies are concerned, however, I was at the Mac game last week and can confirm that their offering was excellent.  To that and, a quick search of quality producers resulted in The Great North Pie Co. who already have an association with Altrincham Market and are, I believe, already served at Stockport County.  Perhaps they'd make an appropriate addition to the fan zone.

Returned yesterday from what was both an excellent and enjoyable trip to Nijmegen to watch Alty's first foray into Europe.  Make no mistake this was a really momentous day in the history of Alty and credit is due to those who organised it and, in particular, to the large number of travelling Alty fans who made the trip.  While the scoreline might point to a disappointing afternoon, this was about far more than just football (Nijmegen put out a team full of quality players and so naturally dominated the play) and those who were there will remember this as being a real adventure and a notable landmark in the journey the Club is on.  Well done all.

A couple of questions:

1) Who do I contact about hospitality at the Club and what is the cost approx?  Son has a significant birthday approaching and I'm considering booking for a date in late August for about 10.

2) Does the ST discount t apply if Im ordering a beach towel?  If so, what code do I use?

Thanks in advance.
