Someone is going to post that hate is too strong a word for them but I disagree.

I hate Macc town, and I hate Macc town, I hate Macc town, and I hate Macc town, we hate Macc town, and we hate Macc town!

WE ARE THE MACC TOWN...HATERS!!!

Biggest no-brainer ever on the site.
HAS to be the blue scum.
Beating them gives me more satisfaction than any other match bar none and that's got to be the criterion.

Always enjoyed the Vics rivalry the best, especially going to the drill field.

I can only remember the Vics as the local team we played against regularly. We have played Macc relatively few times in my formative years so it has to be Vics for me.

Macc all the way - hate the scum and the Policeman who arrested me last time I was there.

Arrested me for calling the goalkeeper a big nose C**T - can you believe it - he let me off in the end though as long as I promised not to rape and pillage any of their sheep.

It used to be Wrexham. I still dislike them along with some other teams. But if they didn't beat Boston we would be in Conference North this season.

Macc every time for me, sadly some of our younger fans have only ever seen derbies against vics and stalybridge.

No, we just hate them. There's a difference between a local team who you hate and a local rival. The main difference being they are a pub team with no fans and are mainly hated for their manager/owner alone. If pace left they'd go back to obscurity and we wouldnt mind them all that much.

Having said that, watch alty take 400-500 their this season and laugh at them all!

Rivals for me are Wigan,Macc,Witton and Northwich,Runcorn to a lesser degree
Title: Re: Local Rivalry
Post by: Uncle Globnasty on November 14, 2007, 04:30:21 PM
Has to be the green and white slime as they were always the main rivals in the formative years of the APL (Macc were irrelevant until much later and have become irrelevant again).

We all p*ss in a green and white pot

As others have said, it's and age thing.....

I've only seen us play Macc twice (the season of the 4-0 at Moss Lane), but I always consider them bigger rivals than Vics,even if there is an intense rivalry with us and Vics.

To be honest. I'm old enough to keep a lookout for your results and titter if you lose.

But in the last decade we've played Stockport and Rochdale far more often (Let's face it, we've played Man City more than you in the last 10 years!) so you don't even register with most of our younger supporters.

Be nice to play you in a friendly or something again though.

Always good to help out the smaller local clubs...  ;)

Unlikely.. For a couple of reasons!

We've been in worse situations than this and stayed up..... You can't rely on clubs going bust forever.

I've hated Macc since 1988 when I was 13 and I was punched in the face by a Macc fan after being chased behind rent-equip on Boxing Day.

I stand by the fact he was a "fat b*stard"

*realises that was 19 years ago and shakes his head*

I've voted Northwich as after the famous 8-1 in 69 I didn't see us beat them again until 2-1 in the first leg of the APL Cup final in 1980 (and we ended up losing that on penalties) - and Foreshaws headbutt of Stepney, and the embarrassing 0-3 at Moss Lane the year they got to the fourth round of the cup and the annual trip to Drill Field for a 1-0 defeat and the 5-1 defeat at Runcorn in the CSC SF 2nd replay after Dave Peel had equalised with an own goal in the 95th minute in the first replay at Moss Rose and Dave Ryan and ...

Whereas Macc was an annual trip to Moss Rose for a win - 3-2 in 1973 (a COLD day) to 5-1 in 1979 (well I was warm inside).  The only disadvantage was that we would invariably lose at home (including a bloody 0-1 at Easter in 1978 when they were bottom (BOTTOM!!) of the NPL and we were still chasing the title - and we only needed 8 goals from our last 2 games to score 100 league goals in the season)  Oh, and a 2-3 defeat in extra time at Edgely Park in the CSC in 1973 when Dave Mobley lobbed either Frankish or Schofield from the half way line for an own goal.

But I respected the rights of the older generation (e.g. my dad) to hate Macc much more than Vics - the Moss Rose visit in 73 was towards the tail end of that ascendancy.  And as many have said, Wigan was also a crunch game in those days, although I suggest it will be a while before that rivalry is renewed!

you care so little that you read our forum?
macc are a non-league club masquerading as a league club and you know it
we all know there are clubs in the bsp who shouldnt be, and teams in the football league who shouldnt be (hello dagenham, hello morecambe, hello macclesfield)
time will sort it out

Post by: Saughall Robin on November 15, 2007, 02:21:27 PM
I've gone on at length on other threads about Macc so I don't need to re-visit that but having only been re-married three years and having made the "new" Mrs Saughall come to Alty matches with me, I asked her for her opinion on it.
Her reply was, quote, "Forest Green Grassers"!
Seems like I've married someone who knows how to bear a grudge (in football terms only, I hope).  ::)

Incidentally, her first game was the Runcorn decider to get us out of the Unibond so it's been non-stop "success" for her at Alty with 2 promotions, 2 "let-offs", and a CSC win (possibly a second of these coming up too?)
Title: Re: Local Rivalry
Post by: thegazelle on November 15, 2007, 04:00:33 PM
sounds like you will lose more than half the house if you were to ever stray from mrs saughall, beware.

we will rise again in a pheonixesque type way and plunder a 5-1 win at the moss rose a la 79 vintage just hope i get home without the black eye this time.

nevertheless would swap that for a 1-1 draw at vics with a last minute equaliser oh just how good was that.
