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

[wayno]

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

[chris888]

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

[distancetraveller]

Listening to Hughesy winding up the Opposition fans brings a big  to my face

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

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

 

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.....

[Toff Apple]

i refer readers to the famous nasha sumersault over the advertising hoardings at frickley. 

[bigcol]

Guiseley away - we'd already secured promotion and the players had obviously been 'celebrating' the night before.

[Jezza]

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"

[markecky]

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!

[gazwarrington]

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...

[taxi Phil]

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 !"

[bumble]

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

[wayno]

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
