Something to pass the time whilst we wait for the snow to thaw/George Heslop's next weather forecast:


On which of the current grounds of the present 92 League clubs have Alty both played at least one competitive game and never been defeated?


(By my calculations, your target is NINE).

[jimmyhank]

Fairly wild guesses based on a small amount of knowledge (always dangerous!)

Spurs
Sheffield United
Birmingham City

[jiminlondon]

sC**thorpe and blackpool?

Spurs

We lost 3-0 at White Hart Lane!

Rocky - the game that comes to mind was the draw at WHL in the FA Cup - we then lost the replay which was played at Maine Road (ground no longer exists). I don't remember losing 3-0 at Spurs but I am trawling the depths of my memory! More than happy to bow to the astonishing knowledge on fellow forumers!

Here goes for the 2nd time (how could I forget Blackpool and Sheff Utd?)

Goodison Park - Everton FA Cup
Saltergate - Gainsboro - Unibond Cup Final
Ewood Park - Blackburn FA Cup
Britannia Stadium - Conf Play Off
St Andrews - Birmingham FA Cup
Layer Road - Colchester Conf
Valley Parade - Bradford PA NPL
Edgar Street - Hereford Conf
Spotland - Rochdale FA Cup
Bloomfield Road - Blackpool FA Cup
Bramhall Lane - Sheff Utd FA Cup

I make that ELEVEN!

1974 - a dour 0-0 draw, this was in the Heslopoian bobble hat shouting "abuse" era.  BPA were playing their last NPL season in their original incarnation at Bradford City's ground. Being a ball boy I was allowed to get a free trip on the team coach and put the shirts out before the game! Most memorable moment was witnessing Tony Sanders having a go at Graham Heathcote all the way back on the M62 for being a pansy for not fancying it because of the muddy pitch. I think I had chicken and cashew nuts for my tea and later on watched Kojak and Parkinson on the telly.

I remember watching us at Gresty Road in a CSC Final v Runcorn in the early 80s. I think Phil Gardner scored with  a header in a 1-0 win.
Have we been beaten there?

[JTH]

Sadly yes 2-3 v Runcorn CSC Final '75
