Wasnt 78/79 another season when we should have won the NPL and ended up with nothing (apart from playing Spurs)?
Redhill Alty,
Not sure that I would state categorically that we "should" have won the NPL that season, as we were competing against a superb Mossley side that scored an impressive 117 goals in 44 games.
They finished as worthy Champions and were eight points ahead of Alty.
Oh, and they also knocked us out of the NPL Cup at the semi-final stage, notwithstanding that epic 5-4 win by Alty in that unforgettable first leg at Moss Lane!
The FA Cup that season did indeed feature our two games against Spurs.
The FA Trophy was an utter disaster, as we (as the holders) went out in the First Round at Moss Lane to a Cheltenham Town side who were forced to play a centre forward as their goalkeeper for the entire match!
As for the Cheshire Senior Cup, well, let's just say that we lost to Northwich and leave it at that, eh....?
