I understand that things are very difficult at this point of time, but kinda ironic that we can crowd into an indoor pub and watch the game but not stand on the terraces and watch said game.

I guess there may only be say 200 or so in the pub, compared to 1000+ in the stadium, but still...indoors in a small building vs outdoors in a stadium. Don't get me wrong, I probably would bot condone 1000 people together singing at the same time, but still, it seems that in terms of managing risk something is off.

Not blaming the club, the league, anyone...just making the point as to how weird things are these days

I will be tuning into radio robins...but I am kinda ill at the moment anyway and it may be covid so you bastards don't want me anywhere near you right now lol

Golf could start... 10 Mins between tee times only two balls at a time preferably with a person from the same address ie wife or partner or family member etc . Tee booking system would be required
Club house would be closed though.

No - keep golf closed. I am loving running across Dunham Golf Course each day on my way to Dunham Village & Dunham Park from Alry. What about my mental health???

Its pretty clear we will not see a football kicked in any sort of competitive game before mid May, possibly quite a bit after that. So the season as we know it is over. How they choose to officially "finish"the season is not clear and more or less whatever option they choose, there will be critics.

For me, I couldn't care. Its all about protecting the people around me. One day football will return and I hope we celebrate the return and not snipe at whatever sh*t solution they find...because as I see it there is no perfect solution to this dreadful situation.

When back and running, extend the season until end of sept, start the new one in oct

This assumes a vaccine has been found by then and distributed globally.

September 2021 more likely given the medical issues, sorry to say

Insane set of results, especially when you consider that Hereford were winless in seven, with their last coming on New Years Day.

The league's top four haven't picked up a single win between them in their last two games.

Some big fixtures again on Saturday - York at Alfreton and Kings Lynn at Gateshead. The playoffs could really start scrunching up soon.

Plus virtually all the top teams have to visit Moss Lane yet. None of them will be looking forward to that journey

only just picked up on this..I agree with most of the comments above.

Couple of thoughts...its a tough job being any non-league chairman...limited budgets, high degree of local public exposure, expectations that are understandable very high, but also very hard to achieve on those budgets. And attracting investment is tough, because in truth non-league football isn't a great investment in the traditional sense so you are looking for people investing into a subset of the local community rather than investing to make the more normal financial returns.

Also, better the devil you know. Sure he made mistakes (few people in that job wouldn't), but lets see who we get to replace him. Look what happened to Macc, Vics to namer but 2.

We have approx 1.2% chance of getting a bye (with full prize money) into the second round due to Bury expulsion from competition

First ball out gets it...we are no 55.

[Best guess:
Transferring from South (probably, & again subject to EGM Cup) - Gloucester City, Oxford City

This is basically good news all round. The 2nd strongest team (per the league table, but anyway by a comfortable margin) went through, albeit on pens in both play offs, and I am pretty confident if it wasn't for the Red Card, we would have won, so we are of a very similar standard. Nobody coming down from above and Gloucester and Oxford weren't really close to play offs. All that extra travel next season to rough as hell northern places won't help either team. And it was our first season back up, and the management team has signed for three years.

I don't want to sound bitter, as I wish them well, but I would have fancied our chances in the league above more than Chorley. Their aggressive physical style Mayfield lesser dividends against the more talented clubs. We were tired as hell when we played them, but still I much preferred the style of play of Alty (OK, I'm hugely biased) to theirs. But for us, maybe its a blessing in disguise not going up. Gives our relatively new management team time to build and develop the squad...next season I would say we have to be near favourites to go up. Will be interested to see the odds. And its worth a flutter on Chorley going straight back down, if we can place such bets
