Use this thread to list amusing things that have happened at Alty.
I smiled to myself today as for some reason I remembered that time when we played Barrow at home. They had a few nasty sods with them and one who looked like Barry Chuckle with a tash and cardigan.
We were giving him loads singing "to me..to you" and 100 people were swaying from side to side in one of the oddest things ever. He was getting madder and madder until he was literally jumping up and down.
We then promptly scored and he went so mad he was arrested and led out by the police.
The chant always raises a smile!
-
I have a few tbh however i can never forget poor Hue cooper being sh*t on by a pigeon at a home game
-
Some others would include...
GS- Winding up the Macc fans for an hour then them attacking us as we tried to leave on the coach then asking me why they attacked us :)
Jimmy H- and Donald being thrown out of a Northwich game and then appearing on a roof across the road and carrying on watching the game :)
Donald vommitting repeatdley in a pub on the corner opposite the train station at Northwich and being asked to leave:)
Personally singing youve all being on crimewatch to the Barrow fans away as they jumped on metal segrgation trying to get to us and there own police smiling and agreeing
Ian Houghton Taunting the Dartford fans with a Yellow Bannana singing Bananna Bananna Bananna for about 35 minutes :)
Sneaking in Beer to the North pay off final just before Extra time and the stewards helping us in with the beer :)
Shouting at a Boston fan that he had bought his Burton Jumper 5 years ago in the sale - he was devestated as i used to work there and i knew how old it was :)
I could carry on but i will save it for my Alty biography ;)
-
so far, a funny one, was the timmy mallet look a like that was from Cambridge who was unleashed on us by the cambridge fans, excellent example of 'taking the mick' out of someone, extremely humorous match and one we won :)
-
Listening to Hughesy winding up the Opposition fans brings a big :D to my face

:D
This reminds me of an incident at Woking in 1999/2000. After the game (which we won 1-0) Gary became involved in a pitched "battle" with a Woking fan in the car park. They were throwing stones of increasing size at each other until Gary upped the stakes by picking up a rock (complete with earth) out of the ground and pursuing his "opponent" with it.
Ecky made a timely intervention (no doubt to the relief of the Woking fiend) and order was restored.
GS is a legend!
-
Going 1-0 up at Aldershot, Rosie then proceeds to say ''If we get a 2nd,I'm pulling my pants down and dancing round the floodlights''.2 minutes later,the 2nd goes in,and he runs straight to the floodlights.....
-
i refer readers to the famous nasha sumersault over the advertising hoardings at frickley.
-
Guiseley away - we'd already secured promotion and the players had obviously been 'celebrating' the night before.
-
Hugh Cooper sat in a shopping trolley at Chorley.
Pete Read's story about rallying the troops at half time, getting everyone to gather at the tunnel and then as the Alty players emerged for the 2nd half making Lawrence Iro flinch and duck by throwing out his fist and bellowing "COME ON ALTY!!!"
Ecky's Gateshead car story.
Memories of Big Bill and Brian Sweeney.
Phil Reynolds telling a bald man with a beard who had nearly run us over as we crossed a road at Welling that his head was on upside down.
My brother at Welling asking a couple outside the snack bar where they'd parked their caravan...and then asking them again the next season.
My brother walking up to a Macclesfield fan asking if he'd enjoyed our 3rd goal going in and asking him "what's in the carier bag then?"
The winding up of opposition fans from the popular side during quiet periods in games is an entertainment in itself and always makes me smile especially the cutting remarks that get even the away fans smiling..
And memories of hearing "who's the skipper? I'm the skipper"
-
Skipper...a true Alty character he was..still find it odd he is no longer with us.
Every ground we pulled up was "sh*te.."
Never forgot him being desperate for a wee at Nuneaton (I think) and piling off the coach and promptly relieving himself in the road...just as Graham Kelly walked past and he was a top FA official then and was just shaking his head!
-
Mine have been mentioned with the Skipper incident that I always think about when the FA are mentioned... BRILLIANT...
Funniest Alty moment is Nasha at Frickley ... ABSOL AMAZING and laugh when trying to explain it as the image is marvellous (smiling now to myself whilst typing)
Enjoyed the "staying up, We're going down" song with actions at Woking when most of behind were doing it (Woking too) and how people were just disappearing behind the ad boards then re-appearing :)
A cork smashing the light in the coach as we celebrated the win on the way back from Chesterfield..
Singing to the Southport 'little hooligans' at Moss Lane.. 'You're not fans you're fourth year juniors :)'
Sorry for this Rosie but your g\friend coming to Barrow, on a wet windy night.. sat on the coach looking unimpressed, getting to Holker St, getting to sit in the stand as it was so blustery and wet and then her getting the ball kicked at her ... Then silence on the coach on the way back.
This list will be added to as I remember things...
-
Shouting dog's abuse at the ref at Great Harwood when he'd unbelievable sent off the legendary Jack Swindells - and the linesman turning to us and saying through clenched teeth "I've got to admit I've worked with better !"
-
Way back from Eastbourne last season on the minibus, pitch black, everytime it silent someone sang " mr and mrs" - and the look of annoyance after he'd finished - the person singing I'm sure was with steve Murray
Fa Cup vs Mansfield , two people infront discussing what the sheep in the field were saying to each other, and just general Sheep life
-
Skipper necking a bottle of vodka on his first ever away game and passing out we didnt dare ask his name so we knighted him skipper
-
In 30 years watching Alty i have had so many laughs to run through them all. One of my favourites though was when our kid fell out of the main stand at Holker St and landed in the Barrow dug out. The Barrow bench rushed to his assistance until they discovered he was an Alty fan then just left him to it. Due to being more than a little bit pissed he didn't really feel the fall from a fair height and just got up and walked off.

Probably one of the more enjoyable nights out we had together. ;)
I can certainly see the funny side of it now.

Over the years theres been many things that bring a smile to the face. 2 that i remember were both at Macc. Firstly Mr boyne being attacked by the macc fan previously mentioned with his tesco shopping bag. Secondly Alan Murray being thrown out at Macc for shouting at Alan Zelem the macc keeper in the first half and then seeing him reappear in the second half because mr Zelem let him back in. Classic.

Here are a couple;
For some reason Hugh Cooper wearing a bow tie and everyone singing "I'm impressed my Hugh's bow tie, I'm impressed by Hugh's bow tie, I know I am, I'm sure I am, I'm impressed by Hugh's bow tie"
When we first sang "with no disrespect your not very good" to Nicky Bull when we beat them 5-0.
When we beat Morecambe at home in our first season back in the conference and the referee was involved in the set up of one of our goals and to the tune of "We've go Colin Potts" we sang "we've got the referee"
There are loads tho!!
-
Far too many to recant and most too embarassing from the drinking years.
Liverpool ............the whole coach chanting souness at a poor unfortunate old man with two walking sticks.
Mossy and the fire extinguisher incident at Rhyl

Hummmmmmmmmm
-
Travelling to tottenham in the FA Cup and asking a blind man the way to the ground.
He replied with go to the next junction turn right, thru the park and the ground is second on the left, or something like that.
-
Ancient history: my dad used to tell of the time (1940s/1950s) when a mate of his in his ire threw a tea cup at the linesman and hit him (used to serve tea/bovril in actual china back then!). Linesman flagged, consulted ref, ref then proceeds to summon the one solitary copper (no stewards back then) who naturally was at the complete diagonal opposite part of the ground. The copper starts ambling all the way round as my dad and his mate head in the opposite direction at precisely the same pace. All the while other fans are shouting he's over here! he's over here! Better than a pantomime.

have you noticed how many involve alcohol peter? Funny that.
-
What was the game where a member of the crowd ran the line ?
-
Honourable mention for the pitch invasion at Grays when Kieran Lugsden levelled it at 90 + 7 on the day the floodlights failed before kick off. They all had no trouble getting over the barriers to get on the pitch, but it took em a long time to climb off!!
-
Taking about pitch invasions, the james bond baddie who was adamant we weren't going on the pitch at Bamber Bridge.. Then an own goal later and ......
-
Anyone remember the Barry Crowe song? With lighters?
-

I could be wrong (usually am) but was that not randomly one of, if not his last game for Alty ?.. Sung that for absol ages.
-
Poor Barry wasn't sure if we were taking the mick or not.
Eddie Hussin 'warming up' at FGR for 50+ minutes after GH was sent off? The police dogs at the end?
-
Rod Thornley song sung at hinckley (i think, although it could have been hucknall) for an entire half time break.
