[Timperley The Best]

Born and bred there. It used to be a nice area with lots of friendly people. Not so much nowadays, sadly.

Did you have links to Alty? im just being nosey as to why you  chose Alty being from North Manc.

In my early teens, I went to City when they were at home and chose a local match when they were away. One fine day towards the end of 1965, I chose an FA Cup cup match, Alty vs Scarborough and the rest, as they say, is history.
Went to the Rochdale game and the Wolves games in subsequent rounds and started coming to Moss Lane on a regular basis . Was still 15 (birthday is late August) the following season and was able to get a Junior Season Ticket for the princely sum of 2 guineas (£2.10) I've never looked back.

Crazy eh? Well you did ask! 🙄😂😂

Fair play  fairly rare to get fans from north manc but I have heard of one or two others . Most dont mind Alty fc but a few dont like us due to the posh town image.

Went all over watching Alty with Swindellsworth for a good few years. He's another North Manc! 😉

PS. I've never thought of Alty as 'posh'. That was always Bramhall or Alderley Edge!

We always enjoyed a ground with an adjacent railway track. Bamber Bridge, Lancaster and Burscough come to mind. There may well have been others.

Kidderminster, and their famous soup - the perfect ground for the railway enthusiast foodie! For the first Cup match against West Ham, the Severn Valley Railway ran a football special. One away day there when I treated myself to a trip on the railway, a Harriers fan on the train asked me if I was ready to get beat - I pointed out we were on a decent run, and we duly got something there. I think Kidderminster were top then though I can't recall the season off hand. About the 10th of March anyway.

I used to work with someone from Collyhurst, a keen City fan, who tended to show a bit of antipathy towards Altrincham. Poynton is probably posher than us as well. To be fair to City, I seem to remember them encouraging people to watch local non-league teams when City weren't playing (though back around 1999, there maybe wasn't that much difference!).
