Re: Altrincham or Eastbourne???
It has to be Altrincham. A local derby; only 50 minutes to travel for the away day; a bigger away crowd at The Crown, making for a better atmosphere on the game and more coin through the turnstiles.
If we were to play Eastbourne next season, the fixyure compilers would no doubt derive some perverse pleasure from pitting the two teams together in the bleak mid-winter.

Re: Altrincham or Eastbourne???
Eastbourne easy.. anyone who has been to watch accy at alty must surely agree... Plus they havent forgiven us for nicking there flags last time we went... I like long away trips.. a day out...We had our fill of local derbys when it was regionalised surely?

Re: Altrincham or Eastbourne???
Eastbourne is about 45 minutes away when I drive (a bit more when the missus does!)
They've got a fantastic Tesco there, right next door to a brand new Pizza Hut!

Re: Altrincham or Eastbourne???
I'd like to see Alty come up - we've had some good matches against them in the past (when they thought they were SOOOO much better than us). And Smudgie, Barry Shuttleworth is now playing for Bamber Bridge.

Re: Altrincham or Eastbourne???
from one of the band of southern based Accy lads - it's gotta be Eastbourne to increase our chance of meeting you guys and cheering on our team - ours is a meagre ration and chewing your nails in front of the rolling teletext just ain't the same.

Re: Altrincham or Eastbourne???
How many fans will Eastbourne bring when we play them at home ? Probably less than fifty. How many fans will Altrincham bring when we play them at home ? Maybee 200. We will be a damn sight better off financially playing local derbys all the time, with bigger crowds generating more income, this will increase the turnover which in turn will increase the amount which we are allowed to spend on wages, etc. If we play all our games against far away teams who bring no support we will soon be skint. Let's have the local teams all the time. Maybe we all enjoy going to the other end of the country but we have got to think about when we play these teams at home.

Re: Altrincham or Eastbourne???
Exeter about 270 miles away brought a hell of a lot more fans than leigh RMI a team 20 minutes away.. Kinda blows your theory out of the water JEFF
 It's not the distance.. its how well the teams are doing.. If Halifax arn't doing well this season and Aldershot are then I bet Aldershot bring more fans... Yes its proportional and the flip side is that if Halifax AND Aldershot are doing well then Halifax will bring more. But a trip to Eastbourne or a trip to Altrincham.... I know which looks the better day out |
