I go back to 74/75 and can't properly remember Tony Broadhead playing for us, but do remember him returning as a Bangor City player a season or two later and getting more abuse than any other opposition player I had seen to that point.

I assume he went with Roy Rees to Bangor, but did he leave with particular bad feeling?

Didn't realise you were such a late starter 😂😂
As far as I recall, there was no reason for the bad feelings generally it was usually when there was a m*cc or a v*cs that sparks started to fly.

Yes. I remember when Stuart Terry went to Northwich (scuse my language), and the banter about his clean shirt.

I always think it's a pity there isn't more video footage of those days. Someone really should write a book about Alty in the 70's and 80's whilst there are still plenty of people who remember it - the stuff of legend! I remember "Kingdom Come", written in the aftermath of the Maunders debacle - are there any other books about Alty?

When we were Kings.

Will they have to do ground works?
3000 capacity with just over 500 seats (according to Wikipedia) is below requirements isn't it?

(and another plastic pitch which I realise is okay).

Oh no. I didn't know that they had a plastic pitch.

A huge well done to York. I didn't think they had a cat in hell's chance of going up. Absolutely brilliant place to go.

Let's hope we get a Saturday for the away game so we can have a nice weekend away! 😉

Absolutely. Mrs. Butty is already looking at Bettys...

Congratulations to York. Won 2 0.

7448 at the game. York's biggest gate in many years. Let's hope we can get six points off them next season.

York one up ht

One all in the southern final.

Wherever those 7 warriors end up, the club and the fans owe them a place in history. Who can forget that first game in the "glue league" as some called it. A home defeat to Stafford Rangers and then I remember a lucky ish draw at Nantwich OMG disaster! But things gradually changed. The league was won. NLN loomed. Can anyone forget that epic play off match against Blyth and the three away play off games which (against all odds)! saw us promoted to the National League!!!  Two years on for a part time team with respectable mid table finishes in that league. Not bad at all. They deserve some formal and permanent recognition so as not to be forgotten in years to come. SBL

There is a case for something permanent at the ground for so many: Noel White, John King, Geoff Goodwin amongst them. Jake Moult and Dens can easily be added to that list. I wouldn't want a generic 'legends bar', and the 'King, White, Densmore, Goodwin and Mount stand' is madness. What about Stuart Coburn too?

Blimey. It's all but impossible to find a way of adequately representing the importance and contribution these people made to Alty.

York is a nicer and easier place to get to than Boston. That's reason enough to want York to win it.

Errr. Sorry #sackthatbutty
