Can't believe how bad that was - total farce

How impartial was that Watmore, taking the mic of anyone who had anything critical to say

[andrewflynn]

Not happy.

[stubmanred]

Watched it all. Firstly, thanks to those recording it.

Absolutely shambolic, the presenters - poor. The chairman - weak, unrehearsed, the outcome! Nothing we hadn't heard before.

Have to say the staging was embarrassing too. Chairman speaks, open up to the floor, first person to speak is Heathcote. Followed by there's your next board member - Sorry  f**k off. Let's breed more nepotism.

Graham  spoke about the quality of Sam - his son first! Really!! . He kicks it up in the air everytime he has the ball. Also  he criticised Reeves, who is probably our highest earner and can't get a game - now we know why!

There's a 5 year plan - not detailed or explained.

Ian Watmore totally protected the board throughout. At no point tonight were they under pressure, apart from two questions (same person) which they skirted around.

Paul Diane - sh*thouse, other board members not interested in talking. Thought Bill Watering spoke passionately.

Unless the whole board resign (excluded Bill) with whatever consequences that brings, we will be as frustrated in future years as we are today.

Shambles...
Expect sponsors, investors to desert the club like the proverbia sinking ship. Long live the sports hall....

It's not good enough for Altrincham football club

I don't see anyway forward for the club under the current regime - the club died a little more tonight

Graham mentioned his son as one of 3 promising young players coming through at the club. He also said that Reeves has had a poor season which is completely true but that he is still part of a core nucleus of players in the squad.

The board also specifically said a number of times that there would be future sessions for the explanation of the 5 year plan and that it would be made available to download after tonight.

OK Golfroader. But, he mentioned his son first. He shouldn't be getting near the first team.

Reeves singled out as not contributing - difficult from the bench.

5 year review... we've had lots of time to map this out. If we wait til next year, it will be a 4 year review.. or we could just defer it and stay in this bubble for another year. Why not.. we're doomed anyway

Stop defending all that is sh*t about the club, wake up to reality. If you believer "we're OK" or, "we'll be OK" then you're delusional, or, not receptive to us changing. This club needs a massive shake up. Get on board, support,not just be one of the 'everything is alright ' crowd..

Fair play to Nicky Watmore and Pete Foster. With respect, tonight wasn't about them.

Cutting short the question about the NLP article was wrong. It rankles with a lot of fans and it deserved to be fully aired.  

Rowley is not, in my opinion, a good communicator and that showed tonight. The two other directors who did presentations were far more accomplished, Bill Waterson in particular.  What we needed was inspiration, a clenched fist and new energy but there was precious little of it at times.

On the plus side, there is the acceptance from the board of change needed and I was impressed with Bill Waterson and Mike Adams. The CSH information was interesting.

A minor step in the right direction but a long, long way to go.

Why is anyone surprised? It is Rowley FC now,not Altrincham FC. The club we all know and love has died.

Clear disconnect I felt between the general tone from the board of 'Sorry, we've cocked it up but we'll get it right again' and as one of the many watching the live stream on Facebook the general anger and cynicism online. The bottom line is the current Chairman and board have presided over our (impending) relegation to our lowest ever level in our 113 year history. I don't think they fully appreciate just how many of our core supporters feel about the rank incompetence on display. The overly aggressive attempts to shut down critical questions also played very badly too.

It wasn't any nicer being there. The whole thing stunk of happy clapping and narcissistic back-patting.
There was a semblance of an apology from Mr Rowley, but I thought it was weak and not at all genuine.

Also, during the introduction by Pete Foster, when the ground was mentioned two board members were sat there joking with each other. That in itself seemed like a big two fingers to the loyal fans.
The two new board members spoke eloquently and with confidence. Welcome aboard gents.
