Amongst many reasons why we desperately need a win against Tamworth is the fact that securing an overdue three-point haul would thereby avoid setting an unwanted new record.
During the 1992/93 GM Vauxhall Conference season, Alty failed to register their first home league victory of the season until as late as Saturday, 19th December 1992, when Welling United were defeated 2-0 courtesy of two goals from the late Charlie Bradshaw.
That constituted our 8th home league fixture of the season (however, Gerry Quinn's team had managed to win four FA Cup ties at Moss Lane by that point, including that celebrated 2-0 replay triumph over Chester City).
Saturday's fixture against Tamworth comprises our 10th attempt to win a home league game this season - and in a lower division, too (although we have contrived to record three home victories in the FA Cup).
Should we fail to overcome Tamworth tomorrow, we won't get another opportunity to win a home league game until Boxing Day.
