Altrincham FC First Team / Re: First home game and at what game did you buy your first 'Robins Review?'
« on: January 11, 2024, 01:09:22 PM »
Scarborough at home. This was just before the Orient game, I recall tickets for that tie going on sale at the scabby game. I did buy a Robins Review at all games back then, but I have never been a collector of things so they will have been binned within days. Somebody out there can probably pinpoint the exact date, and therefore how many days I have borne the fortunes and flops of Alty!

Blimey, it was Boxing Day 1979! Taken from When we were Kings.
On a wet and windy afternoon, the wretched weather conditions steadily took their toll and the second half gradually died as a spectacle for the crowd of 2,521, which represented Alty’s largest home attendance of the season to date. As the match petered out, queues began to form at the various outlets within Moss Lane where tickets for the forthcoming FA Cup Third Round tie versus Orient were scheduled to go on sale directly after the final whistle of this Boxing Day fixture.

16087 days. I really must have better things to do...
