on that basis the stockport fixture will be away as well .

[Timperley The Best]

I'm sure we played county at home in a friendly in the late 80s but not since cos of the behaviour of some of their fans ?

I'm glad you said that because for years I thought this but no one ever mentioned it and I started to doubt myself.

Irvine has 2 teams and one beach - but the pubs are crap!

We played County four or five years ago at home.
Sure The Cult will give me the date!

[Mrs Warbouys]

So the possibles so far are, trafford (a), man utd (h), stockport (h), tranmere (h),TNS (?)

[bumble]

For friendlies, is there nothing we can do to entice people in?

most of the home friendlies are during summer holidays, which parents are oftne looking something for kids to do

 well advertised games, with maybe something as simple as penalty shoot out before hand, a face painter ect... perhaps a chilli night/bbq thing in the evening?

this may make a few people consider the first league game, and then we advertise that like mad!

I would like to see the CSC played pre season and put to bed prior to the important games ahead.

Apart from my location, a friendly against Chester either home or away would be interesting. They would love to test themselves against us and there is only one division between us at the moment. Should draw a decent crowd.

That might have been one of those games..........designed to replace reserve matches...... that were played during the first few months of the season in 2008/9.....I think?
There were games against Bradford City, Stockport, Ashton United & Wrexham, if my memory is correct?

Given Stockport's recent demotion to the BSB Prem. does that mean they will be taking part in the Cheshire Senior Cup next season ?

Brian,

How could I possibly resist your challenge...?

Pre-season Friendlies versus Stockport County at Moss Lane:

6th August 1988
Alty...2  County...2

I seem to recall that this fixture attracted a peculiar set of Stockport fans, some of whom seemed to spend the majority of the game singing anti-IRA chants, for reasons that escaped me then and continue to elude me even now.


25th July 1998
Alty...1  County...0


28th July 1999
Alty...3  County...1


2nd August 2000
Alty...0  County...0


However, I suspect that the game which lured the highest number of Stockport County fans to Moss Lane occurred on Tuesday, 8th September 1987, when Alty played out a goalless draw against Lincoln City in the GM Vauxhall Conference.

Hundreds of irate County fans descended on Moss Lane in order to berate their former manager, Colin Murphy, who had deserted Edgeley Park in favour of another spell at Sincil Bank.

The bumper attendance on that evening was 2,398.

Thanks Bry, that was the one I was thinking of.
Thanks Barry for all the other fixture dates.
