It’s always been a bit soggy as was the rec where the old swimming pool was.
I can remember one match where at halftime a drain plugs was pulled up near the centre circle and the surface water was swept away before the second half. Players managed then and with the old leather balls not the lightweight balloons they play with now

 :scarf:Concessions standing seems reasonable 23 games for £270

It’s the same story with any sport you get those who willingly help whether it be finance, coaching, food etc, however when they leave it’s difficult to find someone to fill the gap. When it comes to finances football is expensive and I doubt whether there are any non league proffesional or semi proffesional teams that can survive without some form of sponsorship  or donations.I expect more to disappear including some League 1&2 teams as Bury and Macclesfield did.

Let’s hope AL is better at recruitment than the last 2 one who didn’t seemingly have a clue or was trodden on by the owner and the other who bought new players in knowing what was needed to retain national league status after being given an extra year but in the long run didn’t seem bothered and took a hefty payout from what I understand.

Hargreaves will leave a large hole to be filled. He certainly gave his best. Hopefully he’s not gone to the Widdler.

  Surely the advantage should be given when purchasing said ticket .i.e reduced prices and some sort of discount if displayed when buying refreshments e.g. 10% reduction. It’s marketing but very basic to encourage the cash comes in early.

  Let’s face it the players we have are not Messi, de Bruyne etc AL has got the best out of them to keep us up. It’s no good comparing the skills and ability of Premiership / International players with ours that is not a fair comparison. We have ended up with players 4 levels below the names discussed after recruitment. We may have to suffer a similar style of football depending on the budget available for recruitment. However AL and SW are no fools looking at their previous records so hopefully, we will be playing a different style of football. There is 1 old saying that you can only play to how the opposition let you! Most visiting teams at the walks have set up to play hoof-ball so it will be interesting how AL overcomes this. If in the end we have to grind out matches to win so be it ( Yes the Scarborough game was entertaining 
however you end up struggling if you keep playing like that, especially at home). So no matter the style I am always grateful for a home win no matter on the style.
