See the official club website for details.Just for a second I forgot where I was and thought this was going to be the travel arrangements. Anyway, back to real life.
I'm practicing my best Barnton accentI was told it's pronounced BATON. 😱
Great call Marple. Any tips for the 3.30 at Chepstow?Why not Wealdstone (A)?!From our point of view travelling on a Saturday much more convenient with us being part time. Suppose they might argue that if crowds, in some form, are allowed by then they’d miss gate receipts.
Slated for next April, not exactly a date for the diary, we might as well save bigger games just in case we're allowed in at a later date.
Let's get it played.
True, it definitely suits us more than it suits them - but then again, I'm sure they'd rather get a game played, and we'd hardly be one of their bumper games either.
Worth asking the question.
Called it
Well done to the clubs for getting it on.
Further updateYou live 10 minutes away and have never heard of AltrinGham TOWN. You'll be fine. Just behave indifferently when we score.
No Altrincham fans will be allowed admittance.
😂 lol. I'll have to explain that one to my grandson.No. That's a circular bit of plastic with a hole in the middle.See the official club website for details.Will 5 consecutive away games be a record?
Hth
It's good to see that we were compliant in changing the date...unlike another club we could mention!To refuse could mean a 5-0 defeat next game ☺

Think the only way any manager is going to get a 40 goal swing from one season to another is to move club.55 is my target. Beat half the teams at home and draw the rest. Draw half away and lose the rest. 55 points.
On that basis we should be on 4 pts so far so nicely ahead of target
That's a good way of looking at it - and 55 points in our first season back at this level is a reasonable target.
I'm reluctant to set any higher targets than that - remember when Sinnott said something daft like he wanted to score 20 more and concede 20 less - a 40 goal swing?!
Have Barnton sold off the global broadcasting rights?Will the stewards be from Dover?
Sometimes they are the law! 👮♀️ 👮♀️😁😁We should wait until the facts are known.
Worrying that it seems that people ignored social distancing guidelines, regardless of other matters.
I bet they had high-viz jackets on! They always think they are above the law!
If we get 55 points and don’t go down (which would be somewhat unusual) that’d be ok. I was only thinking last week that if someone offered us 20th place I’d be loathe to accept even though we’d stay up. It’s just that I believe we are better than that. If it pans out we finish 20th so be it. If we get reasonable luck from now on with injuries, suspensions and run of the ball, I don’t think it’s unreasonable for us to get 70 odd points. I am biased but hopefully not deluded!Very competent performance against a poor Dover side who didn't seem to fancy it in the first half. Glad to see we won't be the only club having problems with the pitch this season.
We need to be more of a threat up front though. The only shot on target was the goal.
Was really going to shift us up the table until King's Lynn and Weymouth got late winners.
I suppose they couldn't have switched it to the cricket pitch...
To be fair, it's all about what we do at the end of the day, and we appear on course, at this early stage, for the 55-80 points that I would consider a decent return from the season - and after a few injuries too.
