There are some things in life you can not buy.....

The site of Jimmy and Donald on the roof celebrating the equaliser in a 2-2 draw will stay with me forever more.

The site of Jimmy and Donald on the roof celebrating the equaliser in a 2-2 draw will stay with me forever more.

You beat me to it!

I also remember walking out of there after a 1-1 draw in January 1995 with the Alty fans all singing "Tottenham, Tottenham you are next!". Happy days!

Memories of my first away games on the train there, seemed like such a big thing at the time.

I'd love to know who I was with the day we got chased back to the train station by Northwich fans and I had to jump off the end of the platform!

I ripped  my beige cords right down the seam on some buffer thing and remember being scared to tell my Mum.

Jimmy and Donald on the bus station roof was classic as well..and I always associate "oooo Barry Diamond" with Northwich games.

I remember getting the train there one cold monday night, walking through a suspiciously quiet Northwich, then getting to an empty ground and seeing that the match had been postponed.
Got back home at about quarter to nine, to the sight of my mum watching Cliff Richard on the telly.
Terrible night all round.

Well, early February 1976 not a football day, but the day I met Mrs Bogman in the shadows of Drill Field.
It was RAG week and students from Manchester, Salford, Alty etc..descended on that small inconsequential town in mid Cheshire to take part in various It' a Knock Out Games just by the footbridge over the Dane adjacent to Drill Field.

I spotted the young lady and sepnd the next hour or dumping her in the then fishing her out! There began a long story...

Just about the only good thing that happened to me near or at Drill Field!

Pic attached recorded the event.

Lovely story - but my eyes kept being drawn towards the flares!

and the cheese cloth shirt was so 70s and not a little itchy!

Who remembers this little gem in net....the infamous Dave Ryan!!

[JackSwindells No 1 Fan]

Dave Ryan was indeed a pretty good keeper, that's why we abused him so much.. slob...slob..slob...

If he had been rubbish we wouldn't have cared less!

He took it all in good spirit.. football tribalism is not as bad as some folk make out!

[Knutsford Alty]

Rubbish, he only had three good games a year! 

Twice in the league against us and the usual game in the Bob Lord Trophy!

Re. that 1-1 draw at The Drill Field back in January 1995:

I've mentioned this before in another thread but it surely merits repeating....

I also fondly recall that, as the Robins' supporters left the ground after the final whistle, the Vics fans were serenaded with a marvellous chorus of: "We're all going to Tottenham; you're all going to Telford."
