Worked in Kirkham in the early 90s when Fylde were a pub team (K&W), but have never visited Mill Farm. Are there any pubs around or a train stop-off beforehand ?

Notice we have been allocated the concourse bar....which after York away, I would prefer to boycott on the grounds they provide very poor customer experience in relation to money exchanged for a drink.....just my view. Can understand it where large numbers  of away supporters are regularly expected (football league).

I guess it's easier to keep the Genie in the bottle than try to recapture it once t's escaped.

A sensibe decision in the end.

I can see the point of this tactic......it makes good sense......but an overreaction based on today's opposition (unless club had intel).
It just ended up with many congregated on the walkway, when rules only allow standing one deep on the perimeter. Hence created a breach of ground rules.

Anyone any idea why at kick off today the far end of the Popside (the goal we are attacking) is closed due to the presence of 38 Boreham Wood supporters kept in check on the Chequers End ?

I asked the question politely to the steward who did not answer

One thing I thought about Lewis Baines last season is that he was a fabulous defender, but not much of a footballer. Which is fine, sometimes that's what you need - leave it to the other lads.

From what I've seen so far this season he's improved massively with the ball at his feet - much like Toby did. Much happier to receive under pressure, still very one-footed but it is what it is.

He'd be one of the first names on my teamsheet.

Agree.
Improved quite a lot. Our best CB.
No idea why he was subbed on Tues and Roscoe stayed on......unless it was to give him that added bit of rest he will need for the 110 mins on Saturday

Rumours Chesterfield have signed him from Macc....resisted by Savage.....sell-on fee due to Altrincham FC

Rumours are £25k coming Alty way..

That is the figure I was told on Wednesday.....although at the time the deal had been agreed......but not done.

Player was spotted leaving Chesterfield at 4pm yesterday.

I was told he had a release clause and although Robbie Savage objected he was powerless to prevent the move

Positive performance all round.....some players stood out more than others, but overall each player did well against an organised side.....we would have lost that last season.

Problem remains though......our goals to clear chances ratio is far too low. Game was like Trophy semi where we should have been further ahead and the single goal was never enough.

Good signing.

Hard but important decision made by Phil.

This should hopefully allow Ollie to go out on loan to build his confidence, with less pressure.

Without trying to fan flames, this could be our best signing of the summer.
Hopefully creates competition for the jersey and improves the overall goalkeeping situation at the club.

Not so sure O.B. will go out on loan, but maybe makes sense to do so and keep Gould as coach and back-up ?
