Alty round off the 2024/25 National League with a Bank Holiday Monday clash with Tamworth at the J. Davidson Stadium (kick-off 3pm).

Setting The Scene

Unfortunately, our hopes of achieving a Vanarama National League top seven finish ended last weekend at Dagenham.

With 63 points from our 45 games, a play-off spot is no longer on the cards. The same is true for Monday’s opponents, who sit on the same number of points, one spot below us on goal difference.

Tamworth’s season has been most recognised for their exceptional run in the Emirates FA Cup, but their league form since the turn of the year has also been impressive. From the start of March, the Lambs have won seven of their 11 league games, scoring 25 goals in the process. 

The thoughts of Phil Parkinson

“Everybody’s on the same page. Everybody wants the same thing, and that’s really helpful when you’re trying to move forward, rather than people trying to be divisive and push in different directions.

“Today [the day of the Dagenham defeat] was about the result, and it was a really negative one for the football club, I understand that, but there shouldn’t be a bad feeling around the football club because it’s in a really strong position.”

Earlier this season

September 2024 – Alty picked up all three points the last time the two sides met at The Lamb Ground earlier in 2024/25.

Second-half goals from Alex Newby and Justin Amaluzor gave Alty a healthy lead, before a Tom Crawford red card added some jeopardy.

Dan Creaney pulled one back for Tamworth in added time, but the Robins left Tamworth with a 2-1 win.
