                     Thompson

Senior. Mularkey. Hannigan  Hampson

             Moult.  Pringle

     Mooney.   Kosylo. Colclough

                       Leitch-Smith

Only real decisions are who plays next to Moult and who leads the line.
Alty 2-1 Bromley (Mooney, Moult)

[CRT Butty]

I want a clean sheet. Come on, we can do that.

One nil Alty win.

I'd be happy with a slightly  soiled sheet and 5-1.

[One Foot in the Grave]

Statement now on the club site. I'd already decided not to go on Saturday, but if metal detector body searches by our friendly new stewards are to become the norm, then I'll be giving up attending games. It's not my idea of a match day experience, and I may watch my games further down the pyramid in future.

[Leeds Leeds Alty]

If we are using metal detectors  - wands - then surely this is because TBC have told us we have to - don't imagine we are doing it for fun.  What should we do - tell Trafford where to stick them and see the ground closed down? Surely boycotting the club just loses us support and revenue and hurts the club even more when we have lost a fortune the last few weeks anyway

[AltyRobin]

All seems very heavy handed. Reports from the Southend game suggest the stewards don’t deserve any respect if they are manhandling fans

Will all grounds in Trafford have metal detectors e.g Trafford FC for 200 fans or are TBC just singling us out

Very patronising statement too. I’m not 5 so don’t need to be told not to stand in the road

Don't be so daft. Body searches and bag searches are common at most grounds at this level and above these days. Way the world is. You don't stop supporting your club because of it.

Judging by the fact that our supporters do often stand in the road - I don't see any issue in them having to ask us not to.

Seriously, it's hardly tyranny is it?! - it's to keep us all safe and prove we can open up again fully.

So let's assume you turn up at your appointed turnstile tomorrow and there's a queue of 50 people snaking out into Golf Road (that's the only place where people queue in the road). What's your solution?

[cheshire cat]

When Alty are playing away I sometimes go to watch a Div 2 club and have been searched with and without a wand on several occasions. It comes with the territory. It doesn't happen every time but the possibility is there.

Regarding the standing in the road this is likely to become a headache. The entry by Dawn's cafe is not ideal. Once the search procedures are introduced it will take longer to get through the turnstiles leading to bigger queues.  The only way to avoid that is to have more turnstiles. Fans who go to away matches will recognise that most of the ex league grounds we go to do have many more turnstiles than us.

One way forward would be to put another entry in the Pop side / Chequers corner. People would then be able to queue in safety to get in to the Pop side and it would allow people to get in to the Golf Road End from both ends of that stand.

No solution needed. I’m in the main stand

Daft ? I can support my team in many ways that don't necessarily involve attending matches. I was perfectly happy with live streaming last season (I'd be prepared to pay a premium if it were available again) and can follow matches on Radio Robins. Goal highlights are generally available on YouTube. I can wait for them. I'm 74 with a dodgy back, but don't generally like sitting down at games. I'd like to just get in without any hassle and stand in my usual spot on the Popular Side - if I can't, then some enjoyment has been taken away.

[Saughall Robin]

Isn't that mitigated by the fact that we're progressing to a level where this is required and we're seeing the best Alty side in almost a generation?
I know that clinches it for us anyway.

PS. I'm only three years behind you and with a bad back, diabetes and two dodgy hips! 😉 😂😂

[robininstockport]

Draconian it might be but it is what it is. Lots of stuff going on that's a pain in the arse just got to suck it up.

Attendance capped at 2500

[Saughall Robin]

2500 is plenty for the Bromley game.
If we jump through the hoops and there are no problems then we can expect 4000+ for the christmas and new year matches and the rest of the season.
