Looks like we've been allocated the cemetery end at gigg lane for the FA Trophy game, away fans are usually housed in the main stand, but we've got 2,000 seats behind the goal for out vidit, so plenty of room for everyone and their numerous amounts of flaggage

The Cemetery end - at least the neighbours won't complain about the noise!

According to the above link, the away end is the Manchester Road End?

It might be for bury games mate, according to the Fcum forum  they use the mainstand and usually put away fans in one section of it, but for this game we will be in the cemetery end,

For Bury games the MRE is the away end. For most FC games, FC fans get the MRE and most of the Main Stand, with away supporters in a section at the end of the Main Stand. For some away teams who are expected to bring more than usual, they get given the Cemetery End, which looks like will be the case for you lot  :)

Also, FC fans will probably just be in the Main Stand as we do with most cup games to try and save money.

What do you think the home attendance will be.

Normally I'd expect us to take 350 for a big cup tie at a local team, but given our poor away form and recent poor history in the trophy, it might be closer to 250.

Honestly haven't got a clue. Our attendances are all over the place these days, we literally could have anything from 1200 to 2200.

It has now been made official that Alty fans will get the Cemetery End and FC fans will get the MRE and Main Stand

The Non-league Manchester derby? It's nice to see they acknowledge we're the premier Non-league team in the Manchester area, but I await all those born before 1974 bemoaning the fact they're being stripped of their Cestrian identity.

A team from a semi rural Market town nestled in the bollin valley, south of the Mersey boundry and on the tip of the Cheshire plain against a team from a Lancashire mill town is as close as it's going to get :D

I've started replacing the letter r at the end of words with o and have bought a Stone Roses hat in preparation.

I'm hunting grouse on the Saturday so it'll be a real culture shock for me...

Or 672, like you got in the previous round's replay against Durham City.....
