A number of schemes aimed at boosting attendances have been suggested and some tried out, often with a fair response (eg. the £5 entry for Utd and City season ticket holders). However, a significant long term improvement in attendances can only be achieved over a period of time, and probably not without some or all of the following happening:

Winning games regularly.
Playing attractive football.
Good runs in the FA Cup leading to big matches and some wins against league sides.
Reaching the latter stages of the FA Trophy on a more regular basis.
Competing at the top end of the league.

Look at the club from the point of view of a floating fan - they want to spend their £20 and know they are likely to be entertained and have a good afternoon out. People are unfortunately quite fickle and are far more likely to come to games if silverware/FA Cup noteriety is at stake. The potential exists at Altrincham but as we are a club which is making steady progress it is likely to be a few more years before we begin to achieve the above with any kind of regularity.

I don't think he's the kind of player we need to be honest. We need a gritty ball-winning midfielder in the ilk of Val Owen to break down play and support our strikers.

I had a lot of respect for what they have achieved since being in relegation trouble this time last year. Their turnaround has been nothing short of a miracle, so to read bullsh*t like that coming from them is especially disappointing.

Darren Sheridan's comments are totally deluded. You can't come as far as they have in such a short space of time and think you have an automatic right to beat anybody.

The only thing I would say is that we couldn't possibly know that Elam was dropped for no reason. It could have happened for any number of reasons that we. as fans, would have no idea about.

However, if Elam was dropped for no reason it would be highly bizarre given his performances in September/October.

I take my son to Fulham occasionally, they have people walking around selling hot and cold food and drinks from trolleys and backpacks using what appear to be typical domestic cold boxes.....they work both ways like flasks.

Their a Premiership team and were a Part time BSP team bit of a difference between the standard of players and standard of catering service we are able to put on.

Not sure what point you're trying to make here, James. SW was pointing out that it could be as simple as selling hot/cold food out of a cool box. Hardly a prohibitively expensive idea!

Furthermore, your comment about the respective standard of players is beyond irrelevant.

i paid £12.... i am entitled to expose  any player that does not try for the club. i guess there were one or two others who came to the same conclusion .

dont comment on something you didnt witness

I'll comment on whatever I like you sh*t-stirring little nobody! Why don't you crawl back under your stone and stay there!

Wanker!

Another 4 goal conceded roll on derby day

Hated by your fellow supporters.

Enough said!
