New from Wikipedia...On March 6th 2024 the battle of Moss Lane, Altrincham....what am i saying ! That second half was Alty's version of Bannockburn , Dunkirk and Waterloo all rolled into one !!! Whatever happens now from here on in , we must not doubt the lads belief, passion and fighting qualities that we witnessed in that epic second half . To misquote a famous speech..."we will fight them on the pitches , we will never surrender ".Truly heroic .

6 of the 8 teams above us play each other so somethings gotta give . Now's the time to start a good run and get back challenging again . Nothing less than a win will do imo , come on lads you can do this.

They did a proper job on us , energy levels all over the park outstanding , our wingers and Chris were all forced deeper as the game wore on and they thoroughly deserved their win.

It says it all when a couple of dozen on the open end outshout almost 2,200 home fans throughout the second half .Can't find a single positive from today and even some other results going our way barely seems to matter after that performance . It's obvious only our very best starting eleven can rescue our play off push and just as obvious our squad isn't strong enough in depth . New blood needed to reinvigorate us.

« on: February 13, 2024, 06:15:33 PM »Never forget that one , the club hired a minibus with around 10 of us on board . The driver got lost and we got there at half time, on the way back we got a puncture in the middle of nowhere with no spare so had to wait for a breakdown truck , eventually got back at around 3am . The hapless driver was called Mike who also owned the business . Not the best away day 🙄Thanks MG that’s really helpful. The Bangor game certainly wasn’t a 5-4 I’d have remembered that! I think I might be muddling games up, part of getting old, although I’m sure we played against Gainsborough on a Sunday some years earlier possibly in the league cup.
That’s definitely the Great Harwood game though, cheers.
I remember that Gainsborough Lge Cup game, 2nd leg semi final following a 0-1 at Northolme. Brian Taylor equalised in the second half, only for Trinity to equalise in the last minute to send us out. 1972 I think?

« on: February 12, 2024, 12:29:14 AM »The Great Harwood game was in the run up to the Trophy semi final second leg against Runcorn. We had drawn 0-0 with the Linnets on the Saturday, and this game was played on the Monday. Notable for the debuts of Graham Tobin and Larry Garrity. I remember turning up at The Old Showground and saying "who the hell are they?" Graham Heathcote scored both goals in a routine 2-0 win. Garrity made it into the starting 11 at Runcorn the following Saturday for the second leg where a mal Bailey goal took us to Wembley for the first time'Toby' joined us from a Wythenshawe Sunday league team he was a friend of a friend , good player but never a regular at ML because of Mal Bailey and John Owens . A legend at Macc after leaving us btw !
Larry Garrity came from Burscough and despite looking promising in the few games he had for us including the Runcorn 2nd Leg he did'nt make the final team or subs and then....who knows ?
