That's a very misleading headline; it makes it sound as if we will be making FA Cup history by avoiding an upset. Of course you could argue that everything and anything you do is creating history.
We can't lose this.....can we?

We can if we dont turn up , if it happens it would potentailly be the worst result in our history ?

History offers you a couple of contenders:  FA Cup 1Q 1960 - Earlestown 4 Altrincham 3; and my personal "favourite" in this category, FA Trophy 3Q Dec 1973 - Altrincham 0 Pwllheli & District 1.
Having been at Brantingham Rd on Monday evening I would say first that the best goal of the game was he one not filmed (Maine Road's 93rd minute screamer from about 20 yards which should have set up a grandstand finish but didn't) & second that 19 times out of 20 we should beat Abbey Hey (& we shouldn't lose the 20th) but on the day it's 11v11 & all the other clichés you care to name ...

I remember the Pwehelli game as a result, I was at school, wasn't it played midweek during the afternoon, miners strike possibly?  There was quite a stir after it and if I recall the attendance was about 500, reckon we'd take that for a midweek afternoon game now

Wednesday December 5th 1973 - afternoon kick-off due to power emergency (the same reason as for the early kick-offs v Blackburn in the Cup later that month); attendance 588. I was at Uni at the time & remember not believing the score when I first saw it in the newspaper.

Those driving to the match should avoid Old Trafford. United v Barcelona Legends 3pm kick off.

I know the ground. Easiest way is to go round on the M60 and come off at the Denton exit, avoiding Manchester/ Old Trafford etc

It's cheaper to buy seperate, Altrincham to Piccadilly return £4.60, Piccadilly to Ryder Brow return £2.80 = £7.40

[Mrs Warbouys]

What if you don't live in Altrincham but else where in the GMPTE region?

[Mrs Warbouys]

I assume we have agreed to the decision to let Manchester United and city season ticket holders in for half price? With the stadium only having a capacity of 1,000 and us likely to take several hundred i hope this has been thought out Properly and no proper fans miss out if the uptake is brisk

My fix of FA cup football today will consist of me watching Haughmond who play in the midland football league prem Div v Matlock town.

Haughmond play on a very good pitch with decent surrounds at the sports village in Shrewsbury, just a ten minute drive from my house

[old alty fan]

 3-0  up in first 25 minutes very professional performance so far

 Could be a cricket score for Alty on current viewing.

[Sarf London Alty]

That cricket score then...oh dear.

Any news on Poole and Harrison's injuries?
