[One Foot in the Grave]

Just a shower, not that bad at the ground.

Forecast is much better from now until Saturday, so let's hope we're on target now.

[Sale Holmfield]

The reserves' home game on Saturday in the Cheshire League Memorial Cup has already been called off.
However, that is nothing to do with the pitch, but because the visitors were Whaley Bridge, and the inhabitants of that town have more than enough to cope with at the moment, before trying to make their way to a football match.

I have never heard of the like of what they are going through in the UK before. I have seen some of the pics/video on the M.E.N. website. Extraordinary.

Never in doubt was it...

                   Drench

White     Jones    Hannigan   Hampson (c)
       
             Branson      Williams
 
Johnston        Arnold               Walters

                     Hulme

Hulme vs McNulty will be a fascinating watch.

Altrincham 1-1 York City [Johnston penalty, 78']

ATT: 2,321

Great team. I would maybe have White LB and Dens RB, I think we are more dangerous with Dens bombing down that side.

I am proper excited about this season.

[Steve from Sale]

Walters is an interesting signing, but I am disappointed for Matt Chadwick. He worked his tripe off during the friendlies but we have to go my squad restrictions I guess.

Welcome to Lewis, good signing as he has showed up well in all the friendlies. I also noticed what Ashley Hemmings said on Twitter - 'What a signing'

Roll on tomorrow, we have really strong options everywhere on the pitch now.

[Macsporran]

I think he may give Max a starting role, probably at the expense of Walters. Also wouldn’t be surprised to see Dens on the bench, but we have many combinations at the back which will work...including the welcome addition of Mullarkey who has been excellent in pre season. My only concern ( whisper it ) is that Jordan hasn’t been firing pre season at all....not scored and has looked off the pace to me. Hoping he comes alive on Saturday.

[Jezza]

I have to say Max is one of the players I was expecting to be sacrificed to bring in a bit more quality....I think Williams did better as a pushed up midfielder than max did as no10.....

I like that starting XI with both walters and Arnold!!...wow! wonder if PP has thought of that coz it never occurred to me despite scratching my head and keep coming up with peers or Williams pushed up in the number 10 Saturday.....

[robininstockport]

We may go 4-3-3

Just my view but I thought Jordan gave the 2 Fylde centre backs an absolute nightmare in preseason.

[peteremcc]

Well, I for one am desperately hoping the game doesn't get cancelled.

Tomorrow is set to be my first Alty game in about 24 years - since the 95/96 season.

I moved overseas with family as a kid in '96 and have been following Altrincham from afar ever since.

While I've been back to the UK a couple of times since, this is only my second trip back to Manchester and the first that coincided with a game.

So, any tips for someone who is not, but might as well be, a first-time attendee?

How long before should I arrive, where to park, any good pre-game pubs, where to sit, etc?

Thanks,

-Peter

The game looks pretty good to go now so I wouldn't worry about that. I'd arrive around 2:30 to avoid the turnstile congestion. Any later and you may have a small wait. If you want to park nearby then the car park behind Aecom is ideal, free to use: https://goo.gl/maps/ZG8ZdpoH1zc4dotr9

Pre-game drinking is better in the town centre but if you wanted to park within the vicinity of the ground I'd suggest just getting in and getting one at the ground. You can take it out in a plastic cup and enjoy it while the atmosphere builds. Main haunts in the town centre for fans will be Libero in Kings Court and probably Costellos in Goose Green. Plenty of other top pubs around the town but I'd steer clear of the Station Hotel as there will most likely be a load of York in there.
