I still have the not-so-fond memories of our last encounter with them at Moss Rose which ended in a 3-0 defeat and most of their scrotes following us back to the station.

To be honest I've quite enjoyed the Chester rivalry and it's a much better away day than the weirdos in the hills.

It's been a novelty to have a game with bite with Chester, but it'll be soon be forgotten like Warrington and Shaw Lane. Stockport will never feel like a rivalry - but may have if we'd both stayed at National (rather than North for a prolonged period).

I imagine Bill and Ben will manufacture a rivalry with York and possibly Fylde; the siege mentally and distraction tactics work well there.

Just a thought, but have we ever played Stockport in the National League before?

No, they got relegated into it in 2011, just when we were being relegated from it, although it wasn't called the National League then, and they remained in Conference North/National North while we had two seasons above from 2014 to 16.

Didn't we pass each other? Them coming down to the North as we got past Guiseley and went up?

No, they had come down the previous season, so we played them in Conference North in 2013-14, beating them 3-0 at Moss Lane early in the season, then drawing 0-0 at Edgeley Park on Good Friday.

Oh yes. Thanks for that SH. How could I have forgotten that 3-0 game? 🤯😉

I distinctly remember a rather portly-looking Ian Craney taking to the field for them.

Any excuse to dig out this old favourite:





26th December 1978

Northern Premier League

Macclesfield...1
(David O'Neill - injury time consolation goal)

Altrincham...5
(John Rogers (2); Jeff Johnson; Graham Heathcote (pen) and Barry Howard)

Attendance: 1,105.


Jeff Johnson scores Alty's second goal after 13 minutes - described as follows in the Altrincham Guardian match report headlined "The Rout Of Macclesfield!": "Barry Howard crossed again for Jeff Johnson to head home."

What a blast from the past. That's the 28 years old me extreme top right! I've got no idea why I'm in that end of the ground though (well it's 42 years ago after all)

Are  they Alty fans behind the goal ? No segregation back then there again there wasnt in 95  from memory

[Saughall Robin]

I think they're mainly their fans although I can spot a couple of ours. I think the Alty fans are grouped off the picture to my left (I. E. Off the right hand side of the picture)

PS. Segregation was something which only happened in South Africa in those days 😂🤣😂🤣)

[ManagementGuru]

Am I right in saying thats Alty keeper (never played a first team game) Mike Sherlock being drubbed?

Proud to say I was there!

[Saughall Robin]

The dates match but don't recognise him. I. E. Probably yes.

[Brian Flynn]

This is a fascinating photo & very decent quality.

I'm fairly sure that this is all Alty fans.

I am to the right of the left hand post, above the Macc Number 5's left arm.
