The club is a shambles.

Where the hell is the leadership?

It does seem that way, and the leader looked very happy at Salford today.
 The next step to possibly turn this, not around, but at least in the right direction, is the managerial appointment, which could give a reboot, and hope of a fresh start for next season. I won't hold my breath, though.

Then, it's season ticket renewals or the lack thereof.

In our wisdom though rather than wait till the end of the season we are looking to recruit a manager now while the best will be in employment

Perhaps the worst moment in our footballing history. As others have said, we've known this would happen for a long time but the moment when the inevitable became the actual is still unbelievably heart-breaking, soul-destroying and bleak. The fact that the person ultimately responsible for this has taken almost none of the blame and accepted absolutely none of the responsibility is so appalling as to be almost laughable.

Grahame did the walk this morning, along with a number of other fans to Salford.

More fans paid to go to a match and leave after 15 minutes than people willing to walk with the chairman for free entry and a fundraiser. Says a lot to be honest.

This walk is irrelevant. Yet another display of ignorance from the crowd who believe there is nothing wrong at the club.

Mike, just because i participated in a club fundraiser doesn't​ necessarily mean i support the decisions the board make or believe there is nothing wrong with the club.

And? What's your point. So did Jonny Keen, but I don't think he's qualified to be chairman (no offence Jonny)

None taken. The walk in itself proves the ability to walk 12 miles and nothing more.

Jonny, not a dig at anyone making the walk, just an observation. My comment about ignorance was aimed at Mathmetician, not yourself.

This is such a sad night for the club.

We have been in free fall since Lee lost interest

And since then the catalogue of errors has put us here

I think my lowest point was the article stating that someone like Val Owen who played through an injury to get us promoted didn't really earn it and we are where we deserve to be

Out of all that's gone on sadly that article that should never have seen the light of day in the programme never mind the official website signalled our total lack of direction and ambition

Our programme should be a place where we are galvanising and bringing together our fan base behind the chairman manager and team

It's only one of many mistakes but it was a pivotal moment

As we stare down the humiliation of our lowest point of this clubs proud history and get ready to play teams who will run that extra yard and put in that extra tackle to big the big name of Altrincham fc it's going to take a new United approach to restore any sort of pride

Where do we go from here ?

Have we hit the lowest point yet ?

In life only one this is constant .. change

And altrincham fc is in desperate need of change

If I had the power to do what I think is right for this club I would ask Graham to step down and continue to lead the amazing work he does at the club from  the community aspect

I would then be recruiting for a new chairman who understands football and can ensure that this is our number 1 priority at all time

I would then be looking to grow the active  board ( which in my humble opinion is too small ) with people who can either back the club financially or add value in driving finance through the club through marketting sponsorship and further corporate activity to help plug the finicial gap that we now face next season

I would be announcing now next year's season ticket prices to attempt to rekindle some faith from the die hards that love this club to come back next year

Ideally I would be looking to retain the best we have now to have a spine of a team we can build on for next season

All the games we have now are in effect pre season friendlies

So if those players are not staying we can let them go now we have nothing to gain keeping them

I would then be inviting a fan representive into board meetings to help close and heal the ever growing rift the club faces

Finally I would have an active local scout activity in place now scouring the leauge we are to enter to take the cream of the leauge to this club with the clear vision that within 2 years we will be back in this leauge then push on again

Those are my thoughts about the club I love on a bleak evening

Just realised I actually missed out an apology if my comments were misunderstood. I can see why they might be. Sorry for that mate.

Congratulations on completing the walk too.
