I assume most conference clubs don't stay overnight so why change our plans on the back of a windfall from one match, asbfas as missing lunch haven't the club heard of McD's? I assume BB could have sorted that out yesterday? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk The day the players have a Mcdonalds for a pre-match meal is the day I walk away from the club. It's that attitude what's probably getting us in the mess we are in, do you think Altrincham players sat down to a meal in Michelin starred restaurant before yesterday's game?

No, but I am sure they prepared in the best way possible to maximise their potential. Their management know they don't have the best players in the league but they were well drilled and properly prepared.

Did anyone hear Clarke give his Interview before the game. I quote " because of the traffic problems we had to bypass the pre match lunch". Now surely this is down to water poor management again. Anyone who goes on a longish journey checks for Possible long delays seek an alternative route to get you to destination as quick as possible. Find somewhere to have a bit of lunch. .....1 question I love to have answered. If Nick Higgs is away. where are the rest of the board. DUNFORD WARE ETC ETC. Yes and no, tbh if im going on a journey i do check but a lot of people rely on the professional drivers to know, i said in another post i didn't think we would do well yesterday as after a long drive like that the players must have be knackered, again if i was a player i would have been mighty watered off missing lunch You said it inee. So did I, and so did others. A long drive, no time to loosen up and prepare, no proper pre-match lunch. As someone else said, a cheap but reasonable Travel Lodge - 15 double rooms @ £50 a night would have cost us £750. Peanuts compared to the cost of arriving at the ground unready for the match and then losing. A cost-cutting exercise which was totally short-sighted, and predicted before the game. No benefit of hindsight here. EDIT - just to add - that defeat might lose at least 500 pay on the day fans at the next home game. Cost - about £10,000 minimum. That £750 looks cheap.

I understand the Lincoln players and manager had to drive themselves to Barnet - great prep obviously since they won!

As my Nan used to say, "Don't spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar". False economy measures.
