Very impressive. It will have a cracking atmosphere with 201 fans inside.

Runcorn at the Halton stadium

nice to see a lovely ground. wonder what it will be like with 200 supporters there. Bit like Gateshead really, nice ground  and no supporters.

Runcorn at the Halton stadium 

to be fair like runcorn this stadium has not been built for the football club (it's for Leigh Centurians and the whole superleague licencing thing) but i do think Leigh RMI should have there own ground more suited to there fan base.

I remember beating them 5-0 in the FA Trophy circa 1990,they had a coach load of drunken animals that turned up late, and wes got T**tted uner the golf road end by a very pissed BOLTON Horwich RMI fan.I think the conversation went somthing like tis, Im sure wes can fill in teh gaps.

DRUNK "Do you know the difference between horwich and altrincham?"

WES "no"

WHACK!!!!

DRUNK " Horwich is full of men, and altrincham is full of little boys"

Conversation ends.

I remember that Horwich RMI game as well.  The Golf Road stunk of booze and these blokes were not young.

Other notable episodes in the Golf Road was the Halifax boys a few years back dressed up as shepards.  Everything seemed to be going swimmingly, then next moment mayhem..

I love it when people bring this up as I can say again that its an outrage that the prison system means that prisoners, dressed in black and white with a ball and chain are let out to punch young Alty fans.  What a day!  I've always been wary of  Sheikhs ever since.

i remember it like yesterday the ball and chain guy and his mates got out of their car opposite stamford park and chatted(very freindly) to us young lads at the time, pointed them towards the away end and 30 minutes later they were kicking off in ours!!! there must have been some drug taking going on that day

Couldent you also say that about Gateshead? I think I remember running there for my club, I think it was originally built as an athletics stadium.

I also love the fact that one of the people who got T**tted got his own back on them in a way they could never imagine at the time. They didn't many decisions off him, put  it that way!

I think that Alty only played Horwich RMI on three occasions:

(1) 20th October 1973
Altrincham 4  Horwich RMI 0
FA Cup Third Qualifying Round

Goalscorers: Lennie Dickinson; John Owens; the mighty Joe Pritchard and someone by the name of Graham Heathcote.

I remember watching this match from the Popular Side - one of my earliest experiences of Alty in the FA Cup.


(2) 1st December 1987
Altrincham 1  Horwich RMI 2
GMAC Cup Third Round

Goalscorer: John Timmons.

I believe that the Horwich team included former Alty striker, Micky Moore, and a promising youngster by the name of Phil Power (and they went on to win this trophy, defeating Weymouth in the final).

Horwich's manager was Les Rigby, who had a rather dismal spell as Alty's manager during the 1975/76 season.

Alty's manager, inbetween his after dinner speaking engagements and Piccadilly Radio duties, was a certain Tommy Docherty.


(3) 16th March 1991
Altrincham 5 Horwich RMI 0
FA Trophy 4th Round

Goalscorers: Nigel Shaw; Nicky Daws; John Brady; Mark Hughes; Paul Showler.

Marvellous days!
