FFS

Can't go tomorrow as I didn't get a ticket before sales were pulled. Southend's 250 get the big open away end, while potentially 1150 home supporters get crammed into the main stand and a bit of walkway by the sports hall, absolute farce.

FFS, is it only us who have to play despite "Covid events" at the club?

Bloody fucking hell

Alty setting up for 0-0 by the looks of our starting XI. Reckon we could get 0 here, though it would be pretty funny if Marcus Dinanga scores us a winner

Ugh, add Gateshead to the list of teams we never beat.

Yes, distinctly fishy IMO. Anyway, Charlton and ITV problem solved this evening.....

It seems that the local council turned up at Alty's ground the other week and inspected it. As a result, large parts of the ground have been closed until repairs are completed. Tonight's FA Cup 1st round replay has a capacity of 1390, with one whole side and one whole end of the ground closed...

I rocked up at Gateshead today to find that Richie Sutton has gone back to Alfreton, I missed that memo. He was sorely missed today tbh

We were absolute toilet today, so much so that I left before we scored the 2 goals which ensured a replay.

I don't disagree, maybe it could have been better communicated though, if it is in fact a policy change.

This is what I mean, like there has been a quiet National League diktat sent to all clubs, saying that games are to go ahead, regardless.

Fair enough if it was reserves and not new signings, but it does sound like they were compelled to put out a side, whereas we'd have had postponements in the past.

Yes, the TV angle was my thought on Tuesday. However, the fact we had to fulfil yesterday's fixture (with the same absentees) makes me think that COVID isn't going to be considered a valid reason for sickies any longer. Didn't Guiseley have to sign a load of players for yesterday's game, in a...

Yes, I get that they had to isolate. What I'm less clear on is how you get a game off with COVID now? I see they have been off elsewhere, we've been called off for COVID this season. Have the league now had it with the non-jabbed?

So I believe Altrincham have been compelled by the league to fulfil their last two fixtures, even though there are a number of COVID isolaters. So does this mean COVID can no longer be used as a postponement reason?

Maybe Parkinson has applied, I don't know. There have been times in the past where he's become a little prickly at some very mild / polite criticism from Alty fans. Ours is a very vanilla fanbase IMO, and he's basically had four years of idolatry here. How he would get on in the viper's nest...

Some on our forum look to be worrying about County coming for Alty Phil Parkinson.

I don't know for sure, but I very strongly suspect there is COVID in our squad, which would explain a lot of the absences last night, plus two very last-minute loan signings to make up a starting eleven. I think it would have been called off if not on BT Sport, and there hadn't been the big £5...

Never got the two club thing, isn't that like bigamy?
