The weather forecast for Altrincham for this afternoon is 4°c with cold winds and some sleet. Wrap up warm you brave souls making the trip and safe journey there and back.

It’s heaving down in Leicester at the mo !????

Good covering in Quorn. Whereabouts are you mate?

nearby Glenfield

Hoping that has allowed Ralph to be declared fit to play

Yes fingers crossed! However I hope he isn’t rushed in and we lose him for longer.

Plucky defeat pending.

Current group of players is dead in the water.

Back room staff is finally taking shape, we now need the sqaud

Same in Coalville, although it’s clearing now

An away goal would be a start

 

[stewart]

We got an away goal at Chesterfield ,it didnt help . How about 2 or 3 away goals.

And as if, by magic, it is now heaving . You need to use the edit button at the bottom of your post and then save after changes.

Come on Southend, give these Northern monkeys a thwacking and cheer up a bunch of miserable gits on here. You know you want to.

Ralph is back in the starting line up, Atkinson starts again as well. Dalby returns - Dunne and White dropped to the bench.

Demi captain.
