Wasn't at either sadly must have been amazing

The pre-Rowley era for me. The Bernard Taylor and Gerry Berman years were fantastic and as a fan we had some great times.

agreed they were always eventful with some big signings.  Wasn't Keith Russell the only player we ever paid money for ?

the ones that always come to mind when i discuss with other fans what my best moments as an alty fan have been are probably....

1) the whole day of the 3-0 win over V*cs on boxing day (down to 10 men as well)

2) celebrating the winning goal away to v*cs the year later (the one with the photo we all love to share on social media in darker days to remind us why we do this)

----a theme seems to be developing-----

3) Barnsley, from the game it's self (best atmosphere i have been part of in a non playoff game) to the 30-40 minute rendition of "when jimmy goes marching down the wing" in the pub post match....good day

may go dig out that V*cs game DVD and watch it again.....

Sheffield United at Moss Lane - we absolutely humbled the team who went on to win the 4th Division title that year

Our first title win at Gravesend - I doubted all the way up to the final whistle of the final game that we would pull it off

Jeff Johnson's equaliser at Spurs - no less than we deserved

great shouts the issue with the Vics games was I was always smashed and didn't recall much

Barnsley has to top it for me, organising a £120 whip around to put on us to win at 9/2 set us up for an unforgettable night. I'll echo the late winner at Northwich and giving their fans some of that during the celebrations, as a young lad that was one of my first away games and I'll always remember it. Going away from particular matches, there was a summer when about five or six of us went down to Moss Lane and repainted the red on the pitch-side fencing. That was a good day.

Good topic Wayne, a little reminder for many of what we are about.

In recent times, it's got to be Guiseley for the sheer drama, the fact we never ever do that and that 4,600 turned up out of the blue and we didn't let them down.  Both games against Hednesford were great as well.

James Lawries goal against Macc was wonderful as well.

Stoke playoff was great

I loved winning the league cup at Chestefield even though it was only the league cup, just seemed like a special night.

Going back further, the last minute winner against Southport that took us to Tottenham.

Every bit of the Tottenham 1995 day, from celebrating the draw in 42nd Street to seeing the lads run out on the pitch.

The 4-0 FA cup win against Macc in 1988 is one of my earliest memories - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32edBVC-7-g

The 3-0 win in 1990 against Macc in the FA Cup was special as well.

Beating the real Chester with the Freeman goal was a great night as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6ffVMVmonY

For me though it has to be Altrincham 4  Barnet 1.  Erase what happened after that to marvel at Showler and the whole team, everything coming together at once and spanking Stan Flashmens men.  Still the greatest DVD of all time after The Shawshank Redemption.

I've missed loads as well...

[im not really here]

Beating Northwich 6-1 and 3-1 away was amazing as was that night at Chesterfield - the start of things to come.

[Spring]

The equaliser at Spurs and the awaybwin atvRochdale which was our first real giant killing.

The revival of Alty under White and Swales with the recruitment of Tommy Banks, Ernie Taylor, Paddy Falange, Charlie Mitten etc......they brought a touch of glamour to the club.
