On the thread about music for old folks I was told I was really old. Now I will prove that to be the case.
I have had three spells watching Alty.
Very first game was in first season after the war, I think 1946, was a regular then with my dad and uncle. Who the opposition was I have no idea. I went to all home games and a good few aways until late fifties when an interest in the opposite sex took precedence over footy.
Returned to watching Alty when working with a guy who lived in Acacia Avenue about 1962, and went regularly for the next three seasons.
Women again spoiled things. I got married and did not go to watch the Robins until that FA cup game at Birmingham in 1986. Been a season ticket holder since then.
To pick the most pleasing game I have seen it must be away at the Moss Rose on a Tuesday night. Don't remember the date but we had a few injuries so they cleared tons of snow off the pitch and conned the ref into playing thinking they might turn us over. The pitch was more suitable for ice hockey, game should not have been played. In the event I think we won 1-0. The goal coming from a guy called Pritchard who was so far offside no one could believe the liner did not flag. Macc were to say the least more than a little upset. I still have a good laugh now when I remember the macc fans, players and officials reaction. It was even better than the Doncaster Alamo, if you remember that other famous 1-0
