Things like that consolidate why I love Alty, hate Macc and will never feel inferior when one of their farmhand fans is bangin on about being the bloody football league???

Good man - you'll like this, just a reminder of the natural order of things and how they should be

Wigan, Runcorn Boxing Day 98 when we went top of the Unibond for the first time,Emley,Weymouth in the Trophy when no-one gave us a chance,Runcorn for Conference North, the whole play off run from Bradford to Stoke, Aldershot last game with Little through on goal in 89th minute,Weymouth last game.

Think that covers every emotion I've been through with this club!!!

Pritchard at Macc!

[Sarf London Alty]

The 3-0 demolition under the lights against Macc in the FA Cup in October 1990, the first sign for me that season that we had the makings of a truly superb team.

[Bath Alty]

As an exile I don't see many games but recently Senior vs Millwall and "We're here and we're from Altrincham" at Weymouth.

[Saughall Robin]

Pritchard at Macc!

So good he said it twice! 

[gazwarrington]

We're here and we're from Altrincham does make the hairs on back of neck stand up babe when I watch on youtube..

A good call that Gaz. I recall how emotional it was as that song echoed around the ground at Weymouth on the last day of the season. As the players emerged from the tunnel I can remember the look of shock on their faces to see how many of us there were and how loud we sang - a great and very proud moment.

Obviously being too young to have all the 'glory days' memories, for me there are two moments that really stand out.  The play off matches in the Conference North.  At Nuneaton, I remember hiding behind the ad boards during the penalty shoot out cos I was so nervous.  Peeping over the top it was so tense and then so amazing seeing Stu saving a couple and then Eddie's celebrations when he scored.
And then at Kettering with the own goal in extra time.  I agree with what has already been said that it seemed to go in slow motion.  And the celebrations at the end were fantastic, with the excitement of knowing we were going to Stoke. 
Although those two matches were leading up to the big one at Stoke I think it was definitely those two wins that were the most spine-tingling moments.

agree with both the whole of weymouth knew that there had been a mini invasion from the north we made ourselves and the club proud that day shame about the result

Mossley 5-4.

 4-1 down looking hopeless, small crowd.  Mid week .  4-4 was amazing.  But 5-4? The crowd went bananas, hugging each other and jumping up and down, like they were standing on the fires of hell,  and I 'd say the noise could be heard over the hills of Ashton-Under-Lyne!

[crewe alty]

[JackSwindells No 1 Fan]

Mossley 5-4 was indeed amazing. Load of folk went home arly ar 1-4. Spent the evening popping in on some of them to give then the good news and gloat about having stayed  to the end!

[Alty365]

I've just gone downstairs and watched the goal on video cos I thought Ecky had made a mistake with the commentary for old times sake but is there ANY Alty fan out there who didn't get his mush on tv that night particularly after the goal, straight off I can think off Joe, Gaz Morris, big Ross, my mate Al, the Gazelle, Ray Armstrong, ATS, Malcolm, Margaret, Mr Brocklehurst jr, the other chap whose name I don't who stands with that crowd, Gavin Torpey....

I was on it shaking hands with Clive Freeman during the pitch invasion!
