You have to go a long way to get hold of as fine an ale as Dunham Massey Ales.

[RockyRobin]

Almost more worth the trip up than Alty!

[SW]

The sad remains of Boddingtons are now brewed in Preston by someone called Samlesbury or similar. The cask version continued via Hydes brewery in an inferior form until Hydes moved last year. In fairness why would Hydes produce a brand not featuring their own name to a high standard? All that remains is an inferior keg and canned version that bears no resemblance to a once great and iconic beer. A beer I cut my drinking teeth on, such a travesty.
We are however well blessed these days if partial to real beer, more around than ever and Dunham Massey ales are as good as Boddies ever was if you ask me.

So many bland, stereotypical mass produced beers; it is always a treat to find that oasis of quality now and again. Up this neck of the woods I have to rely on the odd bottled ale

In your neck of the woods (do the bears actually **** there ?) you should be able to pick up an excellent bottled ale called Joker IPA, brewed by Williams of Falkirk. Usually buy it in Booth's down here.

I'll look out for that. I wish we had Booths up here; best selection of ales.

Booth's are bad for my personal economy.......every time I get a £20 fare to Knutsford or Media City, I spend half as much again on ale !

... 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

How did we do in the 6th game of 1967/8?

[Altyroo]

Going back to that brilliant day in 91 against Barnet, the attendance that i was unoficially told was 4450. Still to this day dont know what it was actually but Moss Lane looked wonderful packed to the rafters. I was in the Golf Road and beleive me it was full. Alas times have changed and NON league football is now all too proffesional. I still believe we are the biggest NON league team and attract some of the biggest crowds for semi professional football, apart from these new fangeled AFC or FC glory hunters with no history. Long live the Alty.

3-2 victory at Ellesmere Port....followed by a 4-3 defeat at Buxton in the seventh league fixture.

So a win tomorrow makes it our best start since 1962/3 by my reckoning.

Did we draw or lose game 7 in 1962/3?

Thanks Mike....so a win today & we match our start to 1962/3.

Do we know if that was our best ever start?

[ManagementGuru]

65/6 must be out best overall start.  When the draw was made for the 3rd round of the FA Cup in December ( away Wolves), we were still unbeaten in ALL competitions.  I will look at where we were after 6, 8 and 10 games later. 

However the sting in the tail re 62/3 (and why I missed it in looking for 5 wins on the bounce) was that we finished mid table with a woeful second half of the season
