[Mrs Warbouys]

Lancaster 11/4
Draw 11/4
Alty 8/11

A nice Away day Lancaster, and a straight forward away day. Hourly train departing from the airport on the hour and at quarter past the hour from Piccadilly
£20 return from the airport, £16.90 return from town, let’s get this done.

[One Foot in the Grave]

Driving up with a stop in Preston en route. I love Giant Axe as a ground, despite our comparatively poor record.

2-1 win (Hulme, Hancock). Hope Hampson is fit enough to play his part (half a game each for him and White would work for me).

Attendance 468

[Alty Bri]

It's one of the fixtures I was really looking forward to. Many happy memories of Lancaster. Just hope 1) It's on 2) We turn up
Lancaster aren't playing well and for me it's a must win.

[Hale Alty]

we had  a cracking win there in a cup replay. who remembers lee poland's screamer?

[andrewflynn]

First visit to the ground for me. Looking forward to it.

My memory is about as reliable as the calendar method, but I think that was my only ever visit.

What a night that was! We had an absolute legion there and eventually prevailed in extra time.

What was the date of the last game we played there, anyone?

[Cheadle Hulme Alty]

I recall us playing there against them on the day i took my daughter back for her secomd year at Uni in September 2003 and we were woeful as we lost 2-0 in the FA Cup. Not sure if we've played them since,

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

What was the date of the last game we played there, anyone?

They were members of the Nationwide North during the 2004/05 season that culminated in us achieving promotion via the play-offs.

Therefore, my guess for the date of our last appearance at the Giant Axe would be Tuesday, 21st September 2004, when Marcus Hallows scored in a 1-1 draw.

Over to Mike Garnett for confirmation/correction...!

... and the attendance was 356.
I note in passing that we have been given the Fair Play Award for March for our division. I trust this will not have the effect that Manager or Team of the Month usually does - namely seeing one or more of ours sent off tomorrow ...
By the by, Lancaster City must be in the running for easiest ground to get to by train, on the basis that as you get off the northbound train you can see the ground beyond the bay platform and the walk down the path takes just a couple of minutes ...
Hopefully our game tomorrow will be a better spectacle than the women's international this evening, which had all the intrinsic excitement of watching paint dry - which is a comment on the way it was played, not the gender of the players!
