We started playing at Moss Lane in 1910.
-
Funniest incident has to be the two southport fans fighting each other this season
-
Any Northwich fan worth his salt should already know the answers to all these questions.
They'll be asking for directions to the ground next.
-
Worth his salt? - nice one Jezza
-
Famous Fans?
Adam Gilchrist and Shane Warne supposedly ...... Statto? (although havent seen him since Droylsden away in early 2005).
-
Michael Le Vell i think his name is? ( kevin webster out of cora) dad and me seen him a few times in the bar (doesnt mean he is a fan tho)
-
Many thanks esp to Longsdenjr- you (+ anyone other positive respondent) are being good ambassadors for your club, as this may well go in our prog v Man U- lots of annecdotes and (printable) views will make your club/ the match sound interesting/ passionate etc
So pls keep the answers coming.
Think my blood pressure has come down a bit, Jez! ;)
-
Memorable matches for me are both cup replays, Sheff Utd and SC**thorpe the second time which took us to Anfield.
Stewarding is excellent, helpful and professional.
-
John Squire of the Stone Roses grew up locally, in Timperley i think.

1- GROUND
A What year did you start playing at Moss Lane?
1910 BETTER THAN THE DRILL FIELD
B Have there been any funny/ dramatic incidents at the ground?
PROBABLY LOADS, THE RIOT THAT BISHOP AUCKLAMD (NEWCASTLE) FANS PERPETRATED WITH THE POLICE A FEW YEARS BACK WAS SURREAL
C Most memorable match at your ground?
DEPENDS ON YOUR ERA, PRE 70S ITS JACKIE SWINDELLS WHACKING GOALS IN EVERYWHERE, 70 EARLY 80s THERE'S ACTUALLY TOO MANY TO MENTION ;D ;D FOR MOST FANS MY AGE (27) THE MATCH THAT STICKS OUT MOST IS CLINCHING PROMOTION ::) IN 1991WALLOPING BARNET IN FRONT OF MORE THAN THE OFFICIAL GATE OF 3000.
D What is your pitch like currently?
SORRY BORED OF CAPITALS NOW
2- FANS
A What are your hopes for this season? Staying up, FGR (and others down), Macc down. 2 wins v your lot and FGR over xmas, increase in home support
B Any eccentric/ O-T-T supporters? 8)
C Are you expecting any City/ Utd fans for the Boxing Day encounter? No
E Any original chants/ rituals? See signature at the bottom
F Is there a fanzine? no
G How long have Vics been your main rivals for (assuming we are)? Alty v Macc, Vics v Witton twas always thus
H Has the rivalry become more friendly (just my opinion, perhaps?) with the absence of League meetings for 5 years and mutual support between our clubs over (proposed) demotions by the Conference? Er, not so fussed either way, amcc are the main rivals. Certainly missed the derbys tho. Vics have lost a lot of respect for their fraudulance in going in to admin so as not to pay debts and then throwing money about left, right and centre. Also, a bit embarrassing hearing Vics say their part time and not big spenders, yeh Brayson and the gang come down from Newcastle for £150 a week ::)
3- PLAYERS/ MATCH
A Best players over the years? Jackie Swindells, everybody else is subjective. You know most of them anyway for Gods sake
B Who are the best players in your current squad? Colin Little :) class act if ever their was one, follwed by Stuart Coburn, Steve Bushell, and surprisingly this year, Lewis Chalmers, Robbie Lawton, and Karl Munroe . oh and Bandy
C Any memories of matches against Northwich? my 1st away game at the drill field, dad was mates with a big vics fan called pete wilson, naturally we won 2-1 Davidson penalty
D What sort of attendance are you expecting when Vics hit town? Some people say 2000 but lets be realistic, our combined average attendances only just reach that and not everyone will come. Nuetrals don't go to Boxing day games like they used to in times past. Possibly the 1700 like last time we played you (2-0 Ellison, Landon) but could be 14-1500. Doesn't matter, it'll be called off cos of a cold snap anyway >:(
E Any score predictions (for the derby at Moss Lane)? Hmm, hoem forms good, as it stands tho i'd take 1-1, no harm done.
F Best-ever manager? There's been a few, nobodies probably done as good a job on a (realtively) small budget as GH has done. The conf seemed a long way off at times these past few years
4- TOWN
D Is the name `Alty` used to refer to your town- or just reserved for the football club? both
E What is the town`s claim to fame? Being nicer than Northwich
5- FODDER
A What is the food/ drink like at the ground? Try the cottage pies, peas and gravy at the away end. As good as it gets at footy.
B Can you recommend a chippy near the ground? Barneys across the road.
C Which is the best fast food joint/ take-away likely to be open on Boxing Day? Mr. Yungs across the road is frighteningly good
D What pub anywhere near the ground could you recommend for real ale? Don't be so miserable, come into the bar under the main stand, accessible before the game, go back out to away end
E What is the best pub near/ en route to the ground for footie atmos?

John Squire of the Stone Roses grew up locally, in Timperley i think.
Ian Brown of said band grew up in Timperley, going to Heyes Lane juniors and then Alty Grammar.
-
Still amassing the notes-
By the way the official site v informative from an outsider`s perspective too.
Cheers

Michael Le Vell ( kevin webster out of cora) seen him a few times in the bar

wasnt sure what his real name was i jsut call him kevin ;D
-
he's just been on soccer nite odd the people they get on there some weeks
-
re mr webster
His name is not michael smith
he is not an alty fan
but he has done some good work for us and he is interested in alty (even went to the lancaster cup game away)
MIke is a good mate of mine and i am sure he willl continue to support the club if YOU want him to, in no way is he a sidebottomesque type character
sorry if i've misunderstood the previous threads as trying to take the p!ss but if you were your very wrong

The supplement inside this week's SAM reveals that , Owner, Barney Manoli says "I won't compromise on quality with our menu, so when fresh fish becomes unavailable during the Christmas and New Year break, we will not lower our standards. We will be open until Dec 23 and then not until a few days after the New Year when we can use fresh fish again"
So hard luck - you'll mis out on Barney's fish and chips on Boxing Day :-\
But I'm sure the Alty fans will warm you up with good banter, plenty of songs, a net full of goals and a fine battering to take home with you! (in the non physical way of course! - I meant the result)
