Plenty of memories on this list:

I'd have to select this fixture:

26th December 1978

Macclesfield Town...1
Altrincham...5

Attendance: 1,105.

What better way is there to spend Boxing Day than to see the Robins trounce Macclesfield on their own ground?

The Alty goalscorers were John Rogers (2); Jeff Johnson; Graham Heathcote (pen) and Barry Howard.

Halcyon days.....and then Spurs away in the FA Cup to look forward to!

I think most people are going to say Northwich 3-0 at Moss Lane given that we've only won ONE  Boxing Day Conference fixure in the past 20 Years!!!

*gulps*

p.s. Jeff Johnson eh, wouldn't it be superb to see him in action at Moss Lane?

Wasn't that 3-0 win at Runcorn in 1998 the game in which Coburn actually scored and later saved a penalty?

I can recall Bernard Taylor's fancy slip-on shoes being caked in mud as he slithered near the dugout on the touchline!

The only time his shoes ever got muddy.

Just look at how many Christmas's  Alty have ruined....lets sort it this year please lads.

I was joined at the Macc game by a couiple of classmates from school who lived in the Greater Macclesfield area, which was satisfying.  We were 5-0 up into the last 10 minutes and took our foot of the gas.

The return match was embarrasing - delayed to the beginning of May.  By then the title was out of reach but I had hopes we'd score 8 in a bid for 100 league goals in a season.  Macc would not be joining us in the conference because you couldn't qualify by finishing BOTTOM of the NPL.  but we didn't score 8 - we lost 1-0 in lacklustre match, before a 3-0 win at Gateshead on the Thursday (the day  Thatcher came to power) and a 3-1 loss at Southport on the final Saturday (they also didn't join the APL - because "it wouldn't work")

The 5-4 win at Bangor City in 1980 was pretty special, particularly as we won 4-0 at Barrow on the NEXT DAY!

Brian,

That would've been up there for me also:

Game in Bangor, Bleeding Wolf in Hale til closing time, pub burns down overnight, up early doors to Barrow

Goals by Rogers 4, Heathcote 2, Johnson, Whitbread, Barrow - so 3 by the current management team.

And sorry Alty 2008 but ALL of them would be straight in the team today!  How did we ever lose with firepower like that?
