We've never played Bishop Auckland in the FA Cup? Trophy do you mean - Shephard game!
Rochdale in the Cup at Moss Lane - 4 sendings off in an era when hospitalising someone led to a tciking off from the ref.

Have to share this comment as always do when this game is mentioned ... I was there as a guest of NTL in the sponsors lounge as they were match sponsors I believe (by the way I nominated George Shepherd as man of the match but was never announced ... he he)
Anyway, When it was kicking off John King came legging it down shouting at what was the previous chairman of B. Auckland (believe he had resigned not long before the game ???) and I was sat behind, too be honest being very scared of John King as he shouted as looked like shouting at me !!! ... Just as he was shouting a lady police officer came through the gate with blood pouring down her face .... John King turned to the ex chairman and said "Have you seen that, its a disgrace..." which is fair enough and then came out with something I will never forget... He pointed at the biggest 'specials; I have ever seen and said I "don't mind them kicking f**k out of them but thats a women" ... The Special coppers looked over and King shouted "Yeah you, you should be in there getting hit not her" ...
An Alty moment that will last forever, almost as good as the "Don't go over there" as though it was appealing :)

Also Boston away when Leroy Chambers was subjected to the abuse was not ideal for atmosphere with fans.
I remember Ashton United away as well as one where players \ management staff did not get on but can't remember the year.. HELP ??

The fracas on the pitch at the conclusion of that FA Cup tie at Kendal Town in 2007 was strangely entertaining.
Well, certainly more entertaining than the abject match itself had been.
I seem to recall that the home team's manager, Lee Ashcroft, said something that rather vexed Graham Heathcote.
Didn't the Altrincham FC contingent then depart without sampling the post match sandwiches?
-
That FA cup tie at Frickley in the mid 80s is the most terrified I have ever been watching Alty.
What a bunch of nutcases, even the police were being attacked in the ground.
Afterwards I couldn't catch the train back as the station was picketed by about 20 Frickley supporters. A bus came past, I jumped on and asked the driver where he was going. Barnsley he said, I replied 'That'll do' and ran upstairs!!.

conveniantly leading to drawing millwall in the cup, i was in the kendal clubhouse for that and their players were sat next to us, needless to say as we were jumping up and down at the prospect of millwall they were stunned at what they could've created if they beat us

I agree Darren, and if you recall, the TMBC licensing team chose that match to see how Alty was being run for the annual licensing inspection,...and were highly complimentary about how you handled it, albeit it was pretty shocking stuff both during the game and afterwards when several of their players beat up George Shepherd outside the bar after the game. Must be the worst trouble ever at an Alty home game.
-
I am just trying to imagine Millwall at Netherfield! They would have had to have moved it to Carlisle or somewhere.
-
Lewes at home, madness.

Anyone else recollect the visit to Moss Lane of Carshalton Athletic in an FA Trophy tie back in 1989?
I'm not sure if they managed to receive a red card on that particular afternoon....but, my word, what a team of cloggers they were!

I recall one Curtis Warmington as being a particularly 'robust' individual whom, I believe did get somewhat earlier use of the bath water than his team mates

miners strike. deep into mining terrority there - the police were seen as the enemy. still are in some places.

Carshalton Athletic!! That's a great shout Cult. Yes it certainly was robust, even with the team we had that time who although not great were capable of looking after themselves at least. If memory serves, we won 2-0 on a drizzly afternoon, Keith Mountford scoring at the Chequers end? Don't know who got the other, might've been an own goal.
I was at Frickley as a young lad two but wasn't that scared, there seemed to be rioting like you'd never imagine with the police but me, my dad and most other Alty fans were completely ignored. The closet I remember was some bloke barging past my dad so he could get at police a few hundred yards away. I don't think youngsters these days could ever comprehend what the miner's strike was like.
To me it was what the Civil War must've been like.
With regards to the incident with George Sheperd afterthe Bishop Auckland game I think there was an altercation that was swiftly put to bed by the intervention and left hooks of Ian Horrigan, our dimunitive and crap scouse midfielder who happened to be a pro boxer too!!
For the Bishop Auckland riot itself I don't know how on earth to explain it to our newer generation, not sure they'd believe me. Let's just say that when you see police horses charging IN To the Chequers end you know it's unprecedented.
My actual favourite footnote to that day was that the whole Specials Unit and Tactical Aid Team was sent down to Moss Lane, everything that the GMP had was here. They all left their posts from the Man Utd game (who I think were at home to Coventry). Unbeknow to everyone at OT there was about 2 policeman and a dog on duty the second half for a crowd of 55,000 absolutely anything could've happened!

bizarrely i recall the referee for the rochdale game was one Vic Callow. Derek gouding was one of the sentofees.
amusing anecdote on the day, Ozzie the punk was in attendance wearing his f**k argentina england shirt (which slightly perturbed my mother when he called at our house to pick me up)
during the first half i went for a pee at the golf road end and on the way back got punched on the back of my head by a rochdale fan who was part of a gang trying to take the golf road . i turned to square up to him only to see a very large bundle of pink mohican go flying past doc martins first. said bunch of rochdale fans fled shouting " sorry ozzie didnt know you were an alty fan we'll go back to our own end". apparently they knew / had heard of him from clubs in manchester.

Flixton was home to the mohicaned one further stories include him being Arrested and locked up at wycombe " for his own safety" The coach had to go and pick him and a couple of others (possibly including a proltz brother) from the police station on the way home. he was last gheard of living in Perth Australia and is probably a fine upstanding pillar of society or may be not.

Mr gazelle,
Derek Goulding had left Moss Lane by then.
The two Alty players sent off by the aforementioned Vic Callow were Gary Anderson and Roger Kenyon.
