I'm sure we played county at home in a friendly in the late 80s but not since cos of the behaviour of some of their fans ?
We played County four or five years ago at home.
Sure The Cult will give me the date!
Brian,
How could I possibly resist your challenge...?
Pre-season Friendlies versus Stockport County at Moss Lane:
6th August 1988
Alty...2 County...2
I seem to recall that this fixture attracted a peculiar set of Stockport fans, some of whom seemed to spend the majority of the game singing anti-IRA chants, for reasons that escaped me then and continue to elude me even now.
25th July 1998
Alty...1 County...0
28th July 1999
Alty...3 County...1
2nd August 2000
Alty...0 County...0
However, I suspect that the game which lured the highest number of Stockport County fans to Moss Lane occurred on Tuesday, 8th September 1987, when Alty played out a goalless draw against Lincoln City in the GM Vauxhall Conference.
Hundreds of irate County fans descended on Moss Lane in order to berate their former manager, Colin Murphy, who had deserted Edgeley Park in favour of another spell at Sincil Bank.
The bumper attendance on that evening was 2,398.
