I think we need to give Parky a break here.  I (like many) was expecting a mid table team this season that would hopefully not get dragged into a relegation battle.  Instead we’ve had a bit of a blip in our attempt to make the playoffs!  This management duo is the best we’ve had since the glory days.  Let’s remember where we’ve come from.

Not looking likely at all right now

What a great result at a place we’ve always struggled…..👍🏻

Great result!  Up to 4th!  Crikey!

Horwich RMI in the (4th?) qualifying round that led to the Gateshead and Everton games.  We made it to the Gateshead game and the Everton replay.

Simon,

That 4-0 home victory over Horwich RMI in the FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round took place on Saturday, 20th October 1973. The goalscorers were Lennie Dickinson, Graham Heathcote, John Owens and Joe Pritchard.

That was actually the season prior to Alty progressing to that unforgettable FA Cup Third Round tie versus Everton.

After overcoming Horwich RMI, we defeated Hartlepool 2-0 at Moss Lane and then bowed out of the competition after two games against Blackburn Rovers.
 

Thanks Cult.   My memory is fading but I remember the Horwich game well!  My Dad told such a great story about that game and how we started watching the Robins.  Maybe I can tell it to you over a pint at a pre season game as we are back in Timperley late July into August.

It has been fine since 20 minutes gone…….
