Northwich at the Drill Field on New Years Day 1995 (just before we played Spurs) was freezing, I recall snow on the ground outside and the pitch looked rock hard, how it went ahead I'll never know, Chris Sharratt IRC got our last minute equalier in a 1-1 draw. In the same vein the legendary 3-2 win at Macc about a year later when there was literally huge mounds of snow piled up all around the pitch and the 250 or so in the away end couldn't quite believe their eyes as stabby backilroy's men got a well deserved beating after his typically underhand tactics in getting the game on. In more recent times Stafford in the play off season was weird, how was that pitch passed as playable?!
I remember that Macc game, they moved Heaven and earth to get it on as we had about 10 injuries.
A bloke with ginger hair scored for us I think whose name escapes me.
Ecky,
The goalscorers that night were Stuart Terry (2) and Dean Pritchard.
I suspect that you are thinking of Mark Clancy, a small ginger haired character who played on the left side of our midfield.
A couple of weeks later, he got bulldozed at Guiseley in that 4-0 FA Trophy defeat and was never seen again.
