(Just to try and take your mind off tomorrow's possible permutations for a few minutes or so....).


Name a Spanish team who have played a match against Altrincham FC.



 

[RedhillAlty]

I cant remember the name but I recall we played and I think won 1-0 in a game in Spain or on one of the Spanish Islands, as part of the end of season treat for winning either the FA Trophy or the APL. I remember because at the time Martin Walsh, the brother of an Alty director at the time was at the game and promised me a programme - which I never got.

Can't recall any Spanish Team

I do however recall us playing a Scandinavian Team (Swedish I think) at Moss Lane - Anyone else recall their name?

[Uncle Globnasty]

Damn, I have something niggling at the back of my mind, but can't quite recall...do remember a Japanese side and many Scottish ones

Djurgardens......from Stockholm.

11 Swedish League titles.....finished 10th last year.

I think they won 2-0 & the game was played prior to the start of their season (Feb/March??).

They were good!

[AltyTunnelSteward]

Spot on Mr Flynn although I expected nothing less from you to be fair

No, but it's in there somewhere....well done on the pagoda mysteries, there was me thinking it was Trisha Toyota when all along it was Mandy Mazda.....knew there was a car manufacturer somewhere in the mix

The match in question took place after the conclusion of the 1979/80 APL season.

The answer will be revealed in today's issue of the Robins Review....!

Didn't we also play a scandinavian team called Ilnest in a mid-season friendly in the 90's?
