Why is the web site devoid of any information , other than ticket and hospitality prices, for Saturday's game?
No info on the fan's zone. No details of which turnstiles would open early. As of Wednesday the plan was for the Curve to be closed and away fans use Parkside enclosure. That should be communicated out sure!y?
A lot of work has been done on the fan zone, why isn't the club advertising this.
Have you seen the match preview for Altrincham? No neither have I.
Whilst I understand the "in it together " days have gone. It would be nice if the professional side of the club remembered the rank and file supporters.

As a Season ticket holder I received an email from the club informing me because tickets for Saturday are selling fast I should buy? I will probably use my season ticket though. I too have heard rumours about alterations to the traditional entry points to the bars etc.
As an 1898 club member be nice to know whether I still enter the club room pre match via the main entrance or otherwise.
I had a curiosity look on the Alttringham forum the posters suggest they are anticipating a good turn out of circa 120 to 150 .Let's hope they do a bit better than that and know where to go to enter the ground and access the new away fans zone.

My understanding is that it will be a temporary arrangement , until other options are put in place. My gripe is that this has not been communicated on the website.

Things are getting odder.having paid my 1898 fee and received a confirming email weeks ago, I have just received another suggesting I have complimentary membership.
I guess foxtrot you are referring to the Parkside terrace will the arrangement be as temporary as the temp stand was?

Lots of unknowns regarding how long the Parkside enclosure will be used for away fans but the current thinking is a very temporary arrangement.

As someone who has stood , happily resting my arms on the railings within the Parkside enclosuure since 2015, I am a little apprehensive about Saturday.
I am not clear right now where I will be allowed to stand now that the away fans have been allocated that area of the the terraces.

Hopefully only temporary.Probably haven't got the proper segregation gates up yet for The Curva. |

There will be lots of places to rest arms, rest against terrace barriers, rest on pitch side barriers - don’t worry.
Our games will not sell out this season

Our games will not sell out this season I think the issue is not where supporters will stand or how busy we will be , it's that club haven't (so far) had the courtesy to info supporters of match day arrangements. |

I sympathise with Fran
Standing along the rail between the ggl turnstile and granstand probably requires getting to ground very early my experience is that the view there is often obstructed by the subs standing there "warming up" and the managers standing near the touch_line.
In front of the stand the dugouts can be limiting though it is OK closer to the gate before the Tardis terrace.
Standing there you can rest on the barriers dodging around the flood light pylon. For a few games might be worth upgrading to a seat in the main stand.

The parkside is going to be a flexible area, if we get a big cup draw for example it will be for away fans. However there is to be no leaning on the pitch perimeter anymore (I had hoped this could be delayed as relegated but said in recent article it is to be enforced. |

GGL has always been a poor ground to watch football, sadly it not getting better. Apart from the stand where do the kids go to watch the game? |

If this rule is enforced at Dorking they won’t be able to use 3/4 of the ground. |
