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.

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.

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!!

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.

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!!

[gazwarrington]

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?
