Mossley away.
It must be a good few years since we played a competitive match at Seel Park.
-
Probably our last pre-Conference season.....so almost 40 years.
-
Last away League meeting - Sept 9 1978, drew 1-1
Last away Cup meeting - April 19 1979, NPL Cup SF 2nd Leg, lost 1-5 (aggregate 6-9)
Last 'competitive' away match - Sept 24 1979, NPL Challenge Shield, won 4-2 (if you count champs v runners-up match as competitive)
Last competitive meeting anywhere - Sept 30 2000, FA Cup 2nd Qual Rd, lost at home 0-2
The original fixture list scheduled this round for the week commencing Nov 27th, but that could prove to be a moveable feast given the way this league 'organises' its fixtures ...

mossley away will bring back some scary memories for people who went there in the late 70s . i can recall hanging onto to the emergency exit door on the coach afterour 5-1 defeat in the second leg as 50 yobs in white skinners and harringtons s tried to get on to our coach to attack us despite them winning. my dad lived up there in the 90's and they still dressed the same . wouldnt be surprised if the home fans are all wearing crombies and oxford bags when we go there .

A few memorable games there, Mike.
I'm fairly sure that the FA cup defeat was 0-3......Danny Murphy tore us apart & we signed him about 2 weeks later.

Yes, Mossley's rather good website confirms it was 0-3 with Dicken, Burns and Garside the scorers. I think Danny Murphy signed for us while Mossley's cup run was still ongoing.
Peter Band is manager there of course, and he was still playing until fairly recently in 2013-14.

As soon as I saw the name Mossley I started having flashbacks Pete, the things we did for fun in those days
That 5-1 was the second leg of the O'Keefe/Allen semi wasn't it. Not very welcoming, as was often the case it was lads outside who weren't at the game - those were the times though, I'm glad to have lived through them but I wouldn't want anyone else to have to.

Point, Brian - proves I should remember to put my specs on when I'm reading off my computer screen! Sign of advancing age ...
By the by (ref Sale Holmfield) - the Mossley archive is indeed an excellent resource. The same may be said for the Chester and Macc archives.

Remember the great Mossley side of the late 70's especially Leo Skeete who later came to us
