Am heading over straight from work tomorrow, is there a club at the ground or anyone know of a decent boozer close to the ground?

Anyone know if there is a bar/club at the ground?

If not, is there anywhere close that does a decent pint?

What does everybody think?

Smith to Stockport seems to have gone quiet. Is it happening?

Do we expect any new faces to bolster our squad?

So who do we all fancy in the draw?

I'd love Vics or FC Halifax.

Vics - obvious win over Chorley today (4-1)
Halifax beat Burscough after beating Droylsden in the 2nd qualifying round...

Quite simply no it is not..

GH, Total and utter prat (as if we did not know that already!)

Not because of his actions, although they are completely out of order. I think the only person that wants him at this club is the chairman - who has his eyes on other things (his sons karting career!)

I don't doubt that GH has a knowledge of the Non-league and does thoroughly read the NL paper every week. But in all honesty to add to his gutteral demeanour, the guy is tactically inept!!

Where was Denham? Apparently the rumour was he's sick? Is that all they could come up with? At least be honest and tell us if he's still our player?

Where was Tierney? Has he not chased him for a while? He has played at a much better standard, does he not warrant a place in the squad?

Greg Young did well when he came on, make no bones. But if he is the choice ahead of Dale Johnson, then what message does that send out? Admittedly, Johnson has not been playing well, but he is a striker.

The subs were V strange as well!!! Doughty for Little, O' Neill to right wing??  I don't get it, how can the man justify his position? He has clearly lost the dressing room and the majority of the fans. The fans were quite right to sing what they did today and it should contninue until he finally gets the message!

We have 3 very tough games in the next 10 days. All of which we will be the underdogs in.. Hopefully the feelings of the crowd will not be lost on GH and he will finally do the decent thing and fall on his sword and leave this proud club, before he ruins it once and for all (although given his joviality in the bar after the game this is very unlikely)

Finally, well done to the lads today, a tough task against a stubborn team. We finally broke them down, but we are going to have to improve ten fold to stand a chance in the next 3 games. Lets hope the words of the captain in the match programme today ring true.

All,

Firstly, may i congratulate all of the Alty fans that travelled to Weymouth today - sadly I couldn't go, but you are a credit to your team - I saw numerous faces from this forum that were there - Gaz W, Ecky, Duke etc, etc (Sorry if I missed you)

Secondly, can I congratulate the team for tryin their best today, OK, we didn't win, but we played in a style that I wish we'd played all year (a few games excepted!)

I do feel it is time for a year end post mortem - maybe it's a bit early but lets face it, when is a good time?!?!?

As i've said I couldn't travel today,  but I have seen 30 of our 46 games, so I can have a balanced opinion.

Opinion 1 - GH has done a great job for us for 6 years (in Oct), despite votes of confidence, now is the time for him to move over and let someone else bring their idea's to the fore! irrespective of the boards votes of confidence!

Opinion 2 - IN that position will be Ken McKenna - I'm sure it'll be debated to death, but I think he will play a style of football that I really think will see us have a chance in the BSN

Opinion 3 - GB didn't really add an awful lot when he came into the management team - however, he could still assist in some capacity

Opion 4 - If we now accept that the players we have are not good enough for the BSP (although since New Years day, I think we've competed well!) then we must keep a shell of a team - including Coburn, Young,Lane, Senior & Little (Loan players excluded for obvious reasons) - others can compete and do well - Peyton, Lawton, O'neill?

Opinion 5 - We should clear the dead wood from the team and start afresh - Aspinall, Sedgemore etc, etc

Opinion 6 - As a GREAT non-league team, we must now invest in some players that can get us promoted immediately - admitidely this may be difficult, but surely a club of our stature and integrity can attract players to our club, that will allow us a chance to bounce back?

Opinion 7 - The chairman is now where he wants to be uote "We want to be a big fish in a small pond not a small fish in a big pond - bottom line is the BSN is probably a harder league to get out of than surviving in the BSP - So what's he going to do??? pull the blindfold over his eyes and pretend everything is OK? He doesn't see most of our games, so reality check - Understand what's going on!!!

Opinion 8 - Our support will diminish - undoubtedly, however, given our turn out to away games as far as weymouth, do not be in doubt that we'll support our team week in week out, whatever league we are in!

Opinion 9 - We still believe, we still support, we still are one, We ARE ALTY AND ALWAYS WILL BE, I AM PROUD OF THE LADS AS I'M SURE EVERYONE ELSE IS - AND WE ALWAYS WILL BE FOR YEARS TO COME.

Hard luck today, at least we were positive, don't be too dis-heartened, there's always the AGM.

FOREVER ALTY!!!!!!!!!!

Hughesy was right with his previous post!

Is this a good move for Alty? He did look good on Boxing Day..
