Frickley away in the FA cup.it WAS the time of the miners strike,awful time at the ground,police horses charging up the side of the slag heap at the side of the ground trying to keep home supporters
if you call them that away from the Alty fans,coaches did get bricked,driver had to change the route out to avoid more trouble.

remember it well.  certainly a tense day in a very difficult time for South Elmsall and the whole mining area.  Most of the bitterness was aimed at the police, we were in the wrong pace at the wrong time.  Used to go back to South Elmsall on a fairly regular basis as my late Good Lady Wife was completing a series of paintings and pictures of the area.  There was no negative hangover towards Alty, plenty towards the police.  Not been for maybe ten years but suspect it's still the same.

Forest green rovers was pretty awful both times
3-1 up at HT to lose 4-3

But 1-0 defeat was wprse - im sure we had a second 45 minute stop at the services and a depresssing coach home (the atmosphere was class that day though...)

Forest Green Rovers is pretty awfult ANYtime - Trust me

Macc away winning 3-2 with Dean Pritchard getting a couple, worst the journey back after 7-0 loss at Morcambe. Straingest-seeing Hughie on the road walking from Alty to Congleton for a friendly, we gave him a lift and he said he'd walk back

Best was the very slow train back from Spurs in 1979... dropped off at Timperley about 4am.. went into work at 8am, sent home about 9am for falling asleep at my desk with all the daily papers laid out infront of me! Priceless memory.. Daily Mail headline "Super Robins".

Worst, most visits to Drill Field, particularly after losing the Bob Lord Cup on pens.

seconded.  Some terrific games.  Terrific atmosphere.  Loved going to the Drill Field, short hop on the train - short walk.  Always a good game, the games with the Tameside Tinpots are nothing in comparison.

The estate around the back of the ground was a bit hairy when leaving your car.
