Will we be able to pay on the day? And will we be put in the usual place?

Also, are they as bad as their opening result suggests? And is my friend (and formerly on Alty's staff as I remember) Chris Millington still the assistant manager?

It's a funny thing, I remember the first time I went there shortly after their first relegation from the Football League and we were furious it cost eight pounds to get in, and their ground was considered one of the worst. Now I'll be grateful just to get in at all, and their ground is one of the best (even if it did bankrupt the old club)!

[Bangor on Dee Robin]

I saw Salford (Rugby, I did forget there's a football team too !) there a couple of years ago and was surprised at the new main stand and general tidiness of the ground.

Memories with Alty include the game being called off just before kick-off (Paul Rowlands was manager I think?) because the corner area (quarter circle) was frozen, we ended up watching Bradford City v Wrexham.

A night match when we were miffed at having to pay more than than the home fans to get in, then we had some stewards looking directly at us for the 90 minutes, very weird.

Think Chris Millington is assistant manager there I believe hes fairly local to Alty or was

Same starting 11, dependant on Fitzpatricks injury.

Halifax 1-2 Alty (Dinanga, Colclough)

300+ away fans

That would be fantastic. Hope you're spot on with that.

Being a glass half empty kind of bloke, I'd be more than happy with a draw.

[Alty Bri]

Halifax are a good team who by all accounts, were very unlucky to lose their opening game. However, after Torquay, we've every reason to be optimistic. Looking forward to watching with 300+ others on Monday.

[Sarf London Alty]

I feel one small factor that could give us the edge is whilst we have a day off and presumably a full training session on Saturday afternoon, Halifax will have to take the 8 hour round trip down to Woking. Small margins important it what I think will be a fairly even game.

Though equally another game played at this very early stage could give them a wee bit more zip.

Come on Alty.

I think this could be a big advantage. We lost at Halifax last season after a 48 hour turnaround and got pumped at Solihull under similar circumstances. For a part-time team, it’s exactly when you’d want one of our ‘Macc’ games to fall.

[robininstockport]

Same  stating 11 if possible, should Fitzpatrick be unavailable Bunny to start.

Always goals at the Shay.

Halifax 1-3 Alty (Mooney x2, Colclough)

[andrewflynn]

Fancy a 2-2 draw. Away attendance 267.

[Inter Alty!]

Think will be the same starting XI at Halifax (bar Bunney at LB if Fitzpatrick unfit)...

Some may clamour to try to fit Furman in, but shouldn't change a winning team (unless injuries); especially after such an impress result at Torquay... Furman will probably be on bench...

Predicted score: Halifax 1-2 ALTY (Colclough, Dinanga)
Alty fans - hopefully over 250

COYR!     

[CRT Butty]

275 Alty see a two nil Alty victory. We score a pen.

[Saughall Robin]

I think this match could be a lot more difficult for us than many on here seem to believe.
I'm not saying that we won't be able to get something out of it, of course we can.
However we don't have a great record there.
I'd settle for a point but am hoping for more.
At the end of the day, if the team continues to gel, that's the main thing.
I'd predict 1-1, but hope for 1-2 with the rub of the green.
Come on you Supers, prove me wrong (again!)

Whatever the score, we're all right behind you!

[Toff Apple]

I dont recall us doing well there at all, the pitch always appears huge.  I think it will be close. I'm not sure they are prepared for what we can do if we gel, I think they are a middle of the road conference team.  We'd have been beating during our run last year and getting beat 1-0 in the second half of the season.  I'm holding onto the fact that they have had 1 days rest after travelling to London and we spent tue. thur and sat preparing for the game.
