Your first Alty away game
« on: May 22, 2011, 09:30:01 PM »

Can you remember your first Alty match away from Moss Lane?

Mine was Stafford away in 1991. I think I was too young to realise the importance of the occasion at the time but I remember being amazed at the number of Alty fans that were there and assuming that we always took that many fans to away games! I also remember being gutted because I'd got so used to seeing us win nearly every week up until that point.

Think mine was the legendary Doncaster victory by own goal.  Great evening.

One of my first was, I think about 1969 at Witton, and did Dennis Viollet playfor them in that game?

Went to Wigan away with my dad, parked up ad queued up and very nearly entered the RL ground. Finally arrived at Springfield Park just in time to stand at the terraced end. Odd ground with a main stand straggling the half way line and the opposite end having a small shelter at the top of a huge grassy bank. Difficult accents even so local to Manchester.

Mine was either Northwich away in 1989 or Chorley away in 1989...

First game of any distance was Wycombe away in 1991 with Jimmy Hardman and Daz Rimmer. We lost 3-0...it didnt look like we'd go 28 games unbeaten after that!

A game at Loakes Park, High Wycombe late 80's when we were living locally and I was at school in the town.  Still scared from that season they went up.....

Macclesfield about 1961 ? Remember thinking it was a sh*t hole (a view which persists) and we lost 2-0.

Guiseley away - can't remember the year but we'd already gained promotion and the players were all a little 'worse for wear' so to speak. About 12 years ago?
