[Timperley The Best]

I know Dagenham beat us 5 nil in 2005 but what was the biggest before that ?

[MarpleAlty]

Daggers did it twice in succession if I recall...?

Craig Mackail-Smith's performance (in their title winning season) was arguably the best I've ever seen from an opposition player at Moss Lane.

I remember it well unfortunately. I know we lost 3-7 to Slough way back, but I can't remember seeing us beaten by a 6 goal margin at home in my 58 years of following the club.

Stevenage beat us 0-5 when we played scott my and azza in central midfield

There was definitely no bigger home defeat in the League all the way back to 61-62 season.  The 0-5 against Northwich was our biggest home defeat until equalled by the Dagenhams recently.

I can find nothing in the 50's but I do not have all our results.  Certainly our biggest home defeat for at least 56 years, and may be way longer

I said that last night in the bar to Flynny and Son but they didn't believe me. I always remember saying before the second game, "well at least it won't be a repeat of last season's game"......oh!

You still haven't seen us lose by a 6 goal margin, seeing you buggered off at half time !

I've been back thru my records & can find no other six-goal margin of defeat at home in the history of Altrincham FC as such. I can find a couple of occasions on which we've conceded seven at home, but each time we did manage some of our own - the infamous 3-7 v Slough & a 2-7 v Chester in the Cheshire League on 28.1.1928, a couple of years before Chester got into the Football League. If you go back into pre-history, as it were, there is a record of Broadheath 1 Stretford 13 in the Manchester League (4.11.1893) - Broadheath's first season in the ML (Broadheath FC took that name in 1891 & became Altrincham FC in 1903). For the record, our heaviest defeat anywhere as Altrincham FC as far as I know is 2-13 in the CCL at Chester on 30.11.1929.
I don't propose to comment any further on this matter - it's frankly too embarrassing for words.

Think it's pretty safe to say then it's a new record defeat ...

[Mrs Warbouys]

On that bombshell, the current team should be in no doubt what is expected of them over coming games, seriously we need to go out with the mindset of C**ting both Gainsborough and curzon, for both restoration of pride and goal difference..

Sackcloth & ashes for Niall & me.....superb recollection there, Nic.....that one really did pass me by. I would plead that I was in shock, but I still can't remember that happening twice.
