... we never have!!

But two precedents for 4 wins on the bounce:

77-78 Worksop (h), Lancaster (a), Scarboro (a) (from 1-0 down with 10 men), Gateshead (h) - but followed by 3 draws and then consecutive home defeats by Frickley and Buxton.  Finished in second place a long way behind Mossley

67-68 New Brighton (h), Stalybridge (a), Frickley (a), Stalybridge (h) - followed by home draw with unfancied Buxton.  Finished second behind Macc that season.  Our first 3 home games attracted crowds of 3395, 3719 and 3812.

In terms of crowds the Stockport game was our biggest home league gate since "3000" saw us beat Barnet 4-1 on 30 April 1991 and before that 3146 saw us draw 2-2 with Wigan on 28 Dec 1974, when Everton tickets were on sale.

The last time we had more in Moss Lane in any competition than for County was 3302 against Darlington in the FA Cup on 8th December 2001, so a bigger gate than the Cup matches against Burton, Millwall and Luton

I think we had a very similar gate to Saturday at home to Yeovil in 1981 after clinching the APL title at Worcester.

This suprises me I thought wrexham brought a lot the first season we played them

[Mrs Warbouys]

Without looking, i think that Wrexham game had a crowd of about 2,600, I remember a gate of around 2,300 for a midweek game against Macc in about 94 also

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

Didn't we get about 2600 at home to Northwich on Boxing Day 2006?

1962-3:
18 Aug Chester Res (A) 2-1
20 Aug Winsford (H) 4-2
25 Aug Sankeys (H) 1-0
29 Aug Oswestry (A) 3-1
3 Sep Oswestry (H) 3-0
12 Sep Winsford (A) 3-2
We lost a League Cup game at Ashton 0-1 on 1 Sep but that doesn't count as far as this thread is concerned.
Re crowds -
Wrexham was 2619; Yeovil was 2864.

That Macc fixture was on 22nd October 1994 and the attendance was 2,275.

2,330.

All the statistical big guns are on this thread!

[taxi Phil]

Absolutely stattastic.

[JDN]

Macc in 87-88 season was 2,630

And was 2,139 and 2,023 the following two years

Also had 2,834 and 2,306 in FA cup replays against them in 88-89 and 90-91

[anglo alty]

Remember the 67-68 sequence also remember the team got some stick for only drawing 1-1 with Buxton we usually beat them 5 or 6 nil

"In terms of crowds the Stockport game was our biggest home league gate since "3000" saw us beat Barnet 4-1 on 30 April 1991"

20+ years on does anybody now the real attendance for this fixture?  I was on the Golf Road and it seemed to me that the whole place was rammed to the gills. 

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

I thought it was 4500?

Well, the last game of that particular season (v Boston) had a published gate of 1736. Popular belief at the time - based on what the eye could see - was that the real gate was 736 & the 1 on the front had something to do with the Barnet game, when the official maximum capacity had been 3000; so 4000 would certainly be a realistic minimum figure for that fixture. I don't think any figure other than the 3000 was ever published, though.
