So it's twitter and Facebook and the club website for the younguns and JL and on here for us old timers, right? 🤔😂

PS. Does that mean you're an old codger too, like us, mate?

I like to think I can (just about) straddle both audiences having just turned 40!

As someone who is about to turn 72, I can confirm that you're still a youngster.(in my eyes anyway😂)

PS. As a matter of fact, three of my  children are older than you 🤯
(and the other two aren't far behind you!)

Is it panto season already?

oh no it’s not.

I know John Laidlaw’s site has a report and very good it is, but, how come our new all singing & dancing site does not have a match report? We have a preview for Boreham Wood then the next news item is a preview of Chesterfield visiting tomorrow.

Is there any danger that the continuity man could squeeze in a match report or maybe an interview with a happy manager, who must have been delighted at getting a point at the Wood as us fans were.

I find it very frustrating going on the new website.

How many times must I say it, “Attention to detail”, the team maybe full time but the rest of the club sadly isn’t yet.

Why doesnt John Laidlar just publish it on the official website...

Totally agree Jack.

The absence of a post-match audio interview with PP is my fault - I did one straight after the game but there was a problem with the recording so it’s not usable unfortunately.

Can we please if it is possible for a link for John Laidlaw’s site or give him a landing page to be added to the main site as he is by far the most qualified person to be doing this with his passion and eye for detail, it could quite possibly unite the moaners the groaners and the idealists who think the older generation have no idea and should stay in the past but forget the older you get the more experience you gain.

This. The feeling I get is there is nobody taking an overall look at how the club does it's media. It's all very piecemeal and seems to vary very much depending who happens to be around on a given weekend.

the rumour is the Alty fans keep walking past the press and obstructing there view ...😂😂🤔

Rare slip by JL today where he says Wealdstone (not Maidenhead) are the only team to beat us this season.

Actually I think it's the "older generation" who are more likely to be the idealists and resistant to change. Nobody's saying they have no idea either, but maybe their idea of what constitutes an Alty fan and what they want from the club and the match is not necessarily the same as most people who follow us. That's not a criticism btw, just an observation.

[Saughall Robin]

I think Alty fans of any age will be in favour of change as long as it's positive and an improvement.
It's just that quite a few people don't yet seem to see the official site as better than the JL site (yet?).
I'm of that opinion myself but would love to see someone take it (the official site) on and iron out the wrinkles to make it what we all want (and were assured) it would become.

Having said that however, John Laidlar is undoubtedly a legend and it's going to be a real problem finding someone with the expertise and, most importantly, the time to give to the job. It's a massive commitment.

Fair comment but it all rests on what people actually want from our website. How many are actually that fussed about getting a full, detailed match report within hours? How many are that interested in intricate, comprehensive news coverage of other clubs? How many want to buy a ticket or a shirt with ease? How many actually bother with the website anyway when they can just go on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram to get what they need? If the club's overall approach is to look at the bigger picture than filling a niche then fair enough in my view

[Saughall Robin]

I think we need a media and social media presence across the whole spectrum if we're working on being a professional set up.
We need someone capable of coordinating all aspects of this.
Like I said though finding that person (probably not a volunteer) is going to be very difficult.
