I remember that night well.  Didnt we equalise late on through someone odd like Keiran Lugsden?  I remember celebrating like it was a world cup win...

It was the Alty hardcore v Coiln Peake. 

Didn't we have loads of police dogs at the end waiting for us?

Quote from John Laidlar:

"Alty.....staged a fine comeback in the second half after trailing 2-0 at the interval and having manager Graham Heathcote sent off for alleged "sarcasm".

Tremendous stuff!

Yeah, I well recall Ecky that Gloucestershire's finest were present in full Robocop gear along with a load of specially imported for one night only Swindon Town stewards. Also the night of JTH's infamous heckle to Jim Harvey that is still brought up every time we see him. The thing is you could actually see the looks of fear on their fans behind the goal as we vented our spleen. A very bizarre atmosphere for a midweek Alty away day in the south!

I wasn't there that night but remember getting texts and phonecall updates from "The Duke" and Daycare Dan. Both of which have a rather amusing story of Swaying Dave and the very same police dogs. As I wasn't there I wont ruin it and I'll let them do it justice.

I think it was Kieran Lugsden that scored that equaliser but I thought it was earlier on in the game, around the hour mark? I seem to remember a very late goal away at Grays from Kieran though, could be that that you're thinking of?

Having just re-watched my match DVD of this game i can confim it was Mr Lugsden with the equaliser around the 70 minuet mark. and it was a make shift squad as we had a lot of players out.

As for swaying he had two classic moments during this game, one at half time as the camera follows the ref towards the tunnel he is followed by many alty fans who have several choice words for him followed by swaying attemping to lurch forward over the barrier to grab the ref but he misses and it looks hillarious and if you know swayin' you will understand the hillarity of it.

as for the dog lets just say he thought it was a nice friendly dog and went to say hello and had he been a touch slower....

That looks like our very own Hugh all bearded up, just about outside my work. Has he hitched from Stuttgart?

I'll always remember the first game we played them post the 18 points affair at their place on a Tuesday night. There were only about 80 of us there but the pasion and support we showed that night for the team was something else, we need more of that on the 9th.




Neither will I, after all it was quoted in my divorce, still we came back from two down.....

Sacrifice for the Alty.


Schoolboy error there. Travelling from London to Nailsworth on a Tuesday night in September, when we could barely raise a team, was always going to be cited as 'unreasonable behaviour'.

Especially when I was supposed to be at Stansted picking up my Mother-in-Law.......still the trains were running.

This has to be one of those matches where people who never go to away games go.  Like Droyslden away that year.

Now I know its not a bus ride away and times are very tight but I hope we can get 200 down there at least.

Sell stuff on ebay..buy Tesco value food that week...get the bike out of the shed to save petrol.  Do everything you can to get there.

All packed in behind the goal could just be one of the best away days since yesterday!

I'm in.

Let's hope we keep up the good form, for once can we go on one of those incredible runs that the other teams all seem to do when we are down amongst the dead men.

Yesterday's win at Darlo will have had a few people bemused down at the bottom, keep em out Alty!
