783 Scabs say's an incredible amount about our fanbase. No wonder our attendances are down again this season, the games aren't free enough.

I decided to go in the end tonight. Everytime I watch Alty at home it is a 130 mile round trip we are season  ticket holder and have been watching Alty for more years than I care to remember.

Describing fans as scabs for going to watch their own team is disgraceful.

If 783 want to go and watch a free training session, then that's up to them but I'll be there when the real football resumes on Saturday.

Can I just say that the reaction of a small section of our fanbase regarding all of this has been a bigger disgrace in my opinion?

Sure, the club might be proven wrong to have participated in this - but the call has been made, all we can do now is back them no matter what - just like we always do. Ultimately our grievance is that the playing staff will suffer, they've taken on the burden with this and it probably compounds things to see the stands empty at the same time.

We're all entitled to our opinions on things but some reactions have been aggressive and downright vile.

Well said, I totally agree. Difference of opinion is healthy and it's right for the club to be questioned on this cup. Slagging off and name calling fans for choosing to watch us play in it is shameful.

Bang on mate. The point of the fans forum is to engage in discussion on all things Alty not to use it as some kind of Eastenders spin off !  Anyhow with the latest score 5-2 for pages of comments on this comp v first X1 games maybe we should blow the final whistle 🤔

"783 scabs"

That's an appalling insult to each and every one of those fans who supported Altrincham FC last night. I watched on the stream, I suppose that tars me with the same brush. It was an entertaining game and I'm glad those that went were rewarded by that. If you choose not to go/watch, fair enough... but, FFS, remember we're supposed to be on the same side. Jeez.

I don't really want to get embroiled in this but, for what it's worth, I'm pleased those who attended enjoyed it. I would have preferred the club to have opted out of the competition for pressure on the playing staff reasons but seeing as we're in it, I support the Club 100%.
I suppose getting game time minutes into fringe players legs is no bad thing - and no doubt they'll prefer it to training regimes.

Amsterdam Alty, don't call me a scab, I am just a loyal Alty fan who went to the game and thoroughly enjoyed myself. You didn't go and missed a great high octane pac3ed game.

I love my club and support them through thick and thin, think it's time you were banned from the sight because if you cannot post inoffensive posts like me you cannot call yourself a proper fan.

Yes I am very, very offended by your remark, which was crass!

I could not care less what people who are willing to turn their back on principles to go and endorse this competition.

If you still think it's just because we have to play a few extra games you are too stupid to understand the nuance behind why this competition is a slap in the face of all clubs not successful enough to enter the Premier League. Especially when the Premier League has continued over the years to undermine the position of all clubs not under it's umbrella. Football league team fan's also boycott the Bristol Street Motors Cup now that they are forced to include under 21 teams. The concept is not new, you lot should not need it explaining to you as supporters of a often trodden on team.

I think at this point you should all realise I care very little about the opinions of those who act as apologists for the club when they are not acting in the interests of the fans, players or indeed other clubs in our league structure.

Enjoy your pathetic excuses, I will not be accepting a single one, especially when the only things anyone can ever come up with are "we should support the club" or "it's a revenue stream we can't turn down". f**king clown speak from f**king clowns. 40-60k does not fill the 1m defecit we are spending on wages to get out of this league... When York are at Wembley with a reduced number of games in their legs and facing a future in the football league, I'll be here to point out they declined to enter this f**king competition. I'll be insufferable, especially when Barnet also win the league with less games in their legs.

I can also add that Rob Esteva, who cared not for the financial side of things at the club, stated that this competition was a travesty and rejects it completely. I wonder what his reasons for that were???

Anyone got an update on Crawfords injury from last night either? Be bad if we ended up losing him for a few weeks, it would really eat in to the "profit" we made last night.

1. I watched a bit via a free source, I wanted to see the crowd size and confirm that the standard was low. I was right. It was not high octane. In fact during the 5 mins I watched I saw the Blackburn players wandering around the field and the only player actually running was our winger who has just returned from an ACL.

2. Learn to spell site.

3. Poor baby

4. Who the f**k do you think you are to tell anyone they should be banned from a public forum for holding a opposing view to you. Absolutely pathetic response. To suggest I don't love my club for being against this whole competition is just Simple Simon sh*t. Do we all need to Happy Clap Steve? I distinctly remember you waffling on at a meet the manager event in the Noel White Suite during the period we were protesting the continuation of Heathcote's reign and you just fed lip service and pure bollocks to him then. It does not come as a surprise to me you're piping up here with your nose firmly attached to the methane pipe of the board still. I fear you are incapable of critical thought.

5. If you thought the previous messages were crass you're gonna be in tears over this one.

Not going to get upset by your latest post, you are irrelevant. Leave it that we have different opinions but I'm not going to get into an insulting debate with you as I'm above that.

I love this club, and it's fans and my opinion is different to yours.

No further comments or postings and certainly no more tit-for-tat insults.
