Deservedly great vibes after yet another confident win , have to say that Matt has deputised for Ethan superbly so much so that we have not even missed him !  Massive bonus when most of us must have had at least a few doubts . After what happened in 1980 and 91 can't dare to get too far ahead but this team has more strength in depth than previously so fingers and everything else tightly crossed .

Sonny !

Wow yeah that was a massive o.g. by them , maybe the real reason was finance related but defo no ambition to get back in the League again .
Fascinating reading through all the results , no one could have predicted then that the likes of Harrogate , Crawley , Fleetwood , Forest Green , Sutton , Accy , Morecambe , Salford , Burton etc etc would ever be League clubs and then there were all those that came and went like Rushden & D  ,
 Dagenham & R , Scarborough and the like.

Fabulous memories once again Ukrainian . I went to every game bar Workington away on the 78 run and can remember bits about every game . I felt a Wembley tingle after we beat a very good Matlock in the 3rd round . Apart from a Heathcote 'special' v Winsford all i can recall is our resident DJ Neal Davies announcing over the tannoy after the last goal "Jeffrey Johnson gerrin our 4th,  that surely ties it up" and upsetting the Winsford fans in the stand ! That semi was as tense as it gets with both teams feeling the pressure . Good old Mally took that off big time  , Wembley here we come . The final was expected to be another 'battle' but we came out totally focused  with our 'game on' heads while the leatherheads were waving to their mates etc in the crowd , game over .The Trophy win was the start of our great and unforgettable era at the pinnacle of the non league world. Wonderful to witness all of that ....just like now actually.  Looking forward to your next instalment  , i sincerely hope you are ok , i wish you well.

Second choice , could'nt afford Chris.

Other than what i have learned on here i know very little about drainige systems , water tables etc . What i do know is that we have beem plying our trade on this hallowed turf for 114 years of which i have been watching the action for almost halt of that. Other than the last 5 seasons or so i honestly can't recall our pitch being that problematical the previous 50 and certainly nowhere near the level of games lost due to waterlogging issues . We never had covers or the like over that time either and even for the times our reserves played here (and rugby too!) there must have been periods of rainfall similar down the years and the pitch always held up really well in the past. I've probably missed something here but i don't quite get it to be honest.

Too right mate , been like this for years worst luck .

What's everyone's beef (or should that be tofu?) with FGR? Why don't we like them again?

Google should give you a less biased version but i'll give you an unfiltered Alty fans pov.

That f**king C**t C*lin P*ake f**king f**ked us over a f**king unregistered player that f**king Accrington had f**king forgotten to f**king sort international f**king clearance for.

Lost 18 points, survived the season because someone else went out of business.

Brilliant 👍
