Matt Dickens was bloody awful in goal that night, not that the rest were any good though.

Sad news though.

Matt Dickens was awful in goal most matches!

Didn't Blackburn pay £250,000 for him before he joined us? Not the best bit of business they ever did!

if i remember correctlythey had a gainsboroesque mob with a massive website

Another recollection of them is visiting Moss Lane around 1995, being a teenager i was quite gobby and I remember giving their right back a bit of verbal when he was taking a corner, a small coloured lad - it was the first half and I said something along the lines of 'your teams sh*t hahaha' - to which he replied 'it's a game of two halves son' classic  I'm presuming we were winning but I don't remember...

Was it Bromsgrove when we we winning 2-0 and lost 3-2 at home?

Andy Reid tried to shepherd it our for a corner and the guy ran round him, pinched it and scored?

Maybe that comment did bite me on the arse then...

If I remember rightly, the stage for the first appearance in an Alty shirt of the legendary Ian Tunnacliffe? Shame, it was a nice place to go. Weren't they relegated for having a 3 sided ground? Oxford anyone?

Bromsgrove Rovers was indeed the setting for the peerless Tunna's Alty debut on 12th December 1992.

A momentous day for English football.

I went there once on a cold wet winter night around 1995 for a GMVC match when we drew 0-0 away, there were two heavy tackles that resulted in serious injuries, one on Alty's Chris Sharratt in first half after which he didnt play for months (knee ligaments I think) and one where Darren Royle broke one of their players legs in the second half, just a 50/50 challenge, nothing malicious,...following which Darren and every Alty fan/player/director got absolutely slated by their fans, players and officials, called us every name under the sun,... both during and after the match. Neither player was sent off by the way for the challenges. Poor Darren didnt have a malicious bone in his body, but they would have that!

It was a most unpleasant and totally one eyed experience and I never wanted to go back, so actually I wont miss them

my stand out memory of bromsgrove rovers is a car sticker I saw near moss Lane when we played them.

I remember the Darren Royle incident are their fans reaction, but I am fairly sure it was a Saturday game as I would not have been able to make an evening kick off down there.

I'm sure we played them once on a Sunday for some reason. I remember because it was the only time I ever went there.

I believe that this game was played on the first or second Saturday of 1996.
