8 Points from the   remaining games and finish on 72 might be enough to sneek in to seventh .Football webpages predicted final table think it will be.

Wow that would be good and a massive bonus if the Latics and Shots were to miss out too! Unlikely though and it may well come down to goals difference in the end which  would be handy for us !!!

Great result boys and so important, and full respect to the loyal fans who made the trip , three wins from four have steadied the ship and with the new signings helping to add more energy and impetus to the squad we enter the last four weeks of the season with renewed optimism.  These last seven (+) games could make this the most historic moment in our wonderful clubs history .Hope springs eternal ! So let's all turn up in numbers and shout ourselves hoarse these last few games . We can still do this . Come on you Alty boys .

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: York City Match Thread.
« on: March 14, 2024, 03:22:23 PM »
It's been 42 years since we beat York City in the FA Cup to earn the right to one of our finest hours in the the next round, knocking out then top-flight Birmingham City. We've not come a long way since then in terms of our progress up the pyramid - indeed we could be argued to have dropped back just a touch - but back then beating the Minstermen was very much a "giant killing". Looking at the current state of affairs at York one rather has to feel sorry for them. Next season they look nailed on to be routinely playing the likes of Rushall Olympic and Radcliffe, and when you consider that they'll be sharing that "privilege" with other ex League clubs like Chester, Southport, Darlington, Boston and the reformed Hereford and Scarborough....yes, we HAVE progressed.
I agree entirely about York who are just one of the 'bigger' clubs to drop out of the FL . When they beat us in 86 they drew with Liverpool before losing in extra time at Anfield to that seasons double winners ! The shape of the game has changed dramatically over the 40 odd years you mention and we have been overtaken by so many who were always regarded as 'smaller' clubs . Who would have thought back then that the likes of Harrogate , Salford , Forest Green , Stevenage , Crawley , Morecambe , Sutton etc etc would be in the League . With all the ups and downs that have gone on there are currently 18 teams in League 2 who have at some stage played in the National/Conf . Amazing.

After Saturdays sub standard effort we were hoping for fireworks last night - and how ! Sparkling performance to rocket us back into the play off zone . The lads were fired up and bang on it from the off and lit the blue touchpaper early doors, fairly lighting up the murky skies with their crackling display .As six bangers exploded into the York net we were treated to a striking exhibition leaving us all glowing once more.  Simply spectacular.

The recent collapse has been as depressing as unexpected given where we were just a few weeks ago.  I'm sure we were all excited as it really looked like we had a shot at promotion to the FL , which now appears to be quickly fading away. If some supporters are thinking/hoping for a knee jerk reaction from the chairman and his board think again , it just isn't going to happen and rightly so.  Look at the bigger picture , 6 seasons ago we were in freefall and we started the NPL season with a 3-0 home defeat by Stafford . Think about that and compare it to now as we are regarded by our rivals as one of the most respected and outstanding teams in the NL . That's due to the brilliant management team we are lucky to have at the helm . Of course they make mistakes , all managers do at every level and despite the awful run we will probably still finish in the top ten . That's progress in a league where most clubs have equal ambitions to ours and there are very few 'easy' games ( Fylde , Maidenhead , Dorking etc).  We may or may not reach the 'promised land' with Phil and Neil but they have already achieved enough to merit our FULL support.

Johnny Williams transformed Runcorn and prior to that did likewise with Winsford , leading them to the Cheshire League title in 1977 and the quarter final of the Trophy the following year when losing 4-2 at Moss Lane to the mighty eventual winners. Came here with a great managerial record of course and much was expected but things just did'nt work out as we hoped. Taking over from the King was always going to be a tough ask.

New from Wikipedia...On March 6th 2024 the battle of Moss Lane, Altrincham....what am i saying ! That second half was Alty's version of Bannockburn , Dunkirk and Waterloo all rolled into one !!! Whatever happens now from here on in , we must not doubt the lads belief, passion and fighting qualities that we witnessed in that epic second half . To misquote a famous speech..."we will fight them on the pitches , we will never surrender ".Truly heroic .

6 of the 8 teams above us play each other so somethings gotta give . Now's the time to start a good run and get back challenging again . Nothing less than a win will do imo , come on lads you can do this.

They did a proper job on us , energy levels all over the park outstanding , our wingers and Chris were all forced deeper as the game wore on and they thoroughly deserved their win.

It says it all when a couple of dozen on the open end outshout almost 2,200 home fans throughout the second half .Can't find a single positive from today and even some other results going our way barely seems to matter after that performance . It's obvious only our very best starting eleven can rescue our play off push and just as obvious our squad isn't strong enough in depth . New blood needed to reinvigorate us.

Matty has done really well but if Ethan is 100% fit and ready to go he must come back in , he is our numero uno .
Numero venti­nove, no?
