Neil Gibson's first game in permanent charge of the Robins offers the challenge of Scunthorpe United at The J.Davidson Stadium on Saturday (3pm).

Alty are looking to rebound after a difficult away day down at Southend United last weekend, in what is sure to be another great Enterprise National League showdown.

The Opposition

Last season's National League North playoff winners have lost just two games in the Enterprise National League so far this season and sit sixth in the table, well placed for a second-consecutive promotion push under the guidance of manager Andy Butler.

Security on Matchdays

Working closely with our stewarding team, and in consultation with Greater Manchester Police, we are carrying out screening procedures to prevent potential weapons or prohibited items from entering the ground. These checks are now becoming common practice at football stadiums across the country and are part of our shared responsibility to protect each other.

The introduction of Martyn’s Law (Terrorism Protection of Premises Act 2025) has also placed greater emphasis on the legal duty of venues like ours to assess risks and have robust safety plans in place. While much of this reflects what we already do, it reinforces the need for vigilance and preparation in today’s world.

We completely understand that supporters may sometimes feel these checks go too far. However, we want to be clear: safety will always come first. Our goal is to provide the best possible matchday experience in a safe and welcoming environment for all.

On behalf of the club, thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support as we put these important measures into practice.
