They will be a point above us if it happens.

Don't want to wish misfortune on anyone...but I'll have a bit of that!

[gazwarrington]

Been coming for ages .... They must have started to worry when getting people off wage budget.

[jiminlondon]

unfortunate that they are really the form team at the moment, and if that continues they will get away with it.

[gazwarrington]

You never know what the situation is with 'wages' and such... Players can be funny things.

Jesus "H"(alifax) Christ

That will do us, another in the dogfight !!! 

[Jezza]

have they been in admin recently??...isn't there something about going into admin twice in a certain period of time.

[ManagementGuru]

I don't think it will make a difference - their home form is too strong for them to get sucked in: they will keep picking up points.

Where it would have made a difference in my opinion is that they would have "tried harder" in games against Weymouth, Farsley and Vics - but they've played all these teams twice already.

Perhaps they will look to cut costs - is there anyone we could take on loan?

[markecky]

I'll keep an open mind until I see if it affects morale etc.

They have FGR away on Saturday. 

FGR need to win after being "mugged" by us last week, despite not having a shot on target.  They must be furious.

[Jacko]

you've got to think about the impact this must have on the team, and i dont think there that good this season, is this the last team this season to go into admin?

NO, is my answer to that.

"The consortium has made it clear that it has filed for administration to protect the club and that, if successful in acquiring the club, it wishes to introduce new initiatives designed to take the club forward with the aim of regaining Football League status."

So basically you've deliberately gone into admin to get the debtors off your back before next season and pave the way to start spending stupid amounts of money on players again. They should be automatically relegated for doing this!

[Longman]

So under what circumstances will they NOT be docked 10 points??  If they don't have to go into administration?

[bigcol]

So once again it is shaping up with this and Grays just as a starter for ten then relgation from this league will be influenced by mismanagement off the field as well as on it.

Although we also seem to be chief benefactors, isn't anyone just getting a little fed up at League HQ about it?

Compare & contrast:

1) HAl;ifax Town report that "Councillors have given the thumbs up to proposals to transform the Shay Stadium... after designs were approved by members of Calderdale Council's Planning Committee. Calderdale Council is working in partnership with the Shay Stadium Trust to complete the unfinished East Stand. A contractor is due to be chosen next month and work will now begin on site in June. The stand should be completed by the end of this year".

2) "Halifax Town Association Football Club has filed notice of an administration following the failure of its bid to complete the purchase of shares held within the club. Peter Sargent and Rob Sadler from business rescue, recovery and restructuring specialists Begbies Traynor, have consented to act as administrators to ensure the longer term survival of the club and protect it from creditors.

Would payment to ugrade the ground be nothing to do with the club itself?
Is the Shay stadium trust inedependent to the cub?

[Saughall Robin]

They just think they're safe from relegation (Which they probably are) and they've spotted an opportunity to welch on their debts and profit from it next season.
A lot of teams in this league would think their behaviour astute and good businesslike in the extreme.

Fortunately Altrincham is not one of them - and that's one of the reasons why we love Alty.
