[Mrs Warbouys]

Buxton 13/5
Draw 14/5
Alty 8/11

The first of three chances this week to get over the line. Probably a first visit/new ground for a lot as I can’t recall us playing at buxton for many many years in a proper fixture. I’ve seen us there in a friendly numerous times though. It’s only 30 minutes away, let’s try and make it like a home game and get the job done. There’s a very regular rail service from Piccadilly and Stockport.

[One Foot in the Grave]

I'd guess it's our first league visit since we were in the Cheshire League 50 years ago, though we did go there in the Trophy late 70's.

The lads won't need motivating, but they took points off us at Moss Lane (only home game I missed) and are decent on their day (9th in the league). They've only lost 2 of their last 10, including a win over Ashton.

I take us to win 2-1 (Harrop, Hulme). Hardy to make sure all scorers begin with H !

If we turn out in the numbers we should, the gate should top 400.

[Sale Holmfield]

We played them in the NPL in the seventies so the last league game would have been in 78-79, and we have since been there in the Trophy more recently as you say, but later still.

I can't make it myself, but I anticipate a narrow win, or even a draw, as they gave us a very good game at Moss Lane as I recall.

[Timperley The Best]

Think we will win, just  2-1 and maybe seal the deal ,maybe 200 plus away fans ?

[Alty Bri]

I saw them get comprehensively outplayed by an admittedly very strong looking Matlock team a fortnight ago. Having said that, that fame apart, their results have been pretty impressive lately. A draw would be okay.

Last League game at Silverlands - October 17th 1978; won 4-0 (Rogers 3, Heathcote)
Last competitive visit to Silverlands - January 14th 1989, FA Trophy 1st Rd, won 2-0 (Cook, Brown o.g.) Gate 1005

Pleased to read this as I was convinced I went there for a league game in ‘78

Good service outward (trains ex Piccadilly 1621, 1649, 1722, 1749 or in extremis 1821, journey time approx. 1 hour) but very restricted return (2257 ex Buxton arr. Picc 2355 is the only possibility).

[anglo alty]

Used to smash them in our Cheshire league days, having said that they were the first side to knock us out of the trophy. I thought they played well at the JD and it will be a difficult game, but we have momentum after Saturday

[distancetraveller]

3-1 Alty
Let's hit the ground running lads

[robininstockport]

Hoping Hannigan is available.

 Buxton 1-1 Alty. Hulme.

Can't make it tonight. Good look  and safe journey to all.

[old alty fan]

 My hopes for tonight.

Alty victory(goes without saying)

A big away following 250+

Warrington and Grantham getting beat

Celebrating been Champions at 21.50 tonight

The last 2 points probably unlikely but you never know.

[andrewflynn]

Results go our way, but...

Buxton 2-1 Altrincham.

Hancock 52'

How very Alty. We go on to win our four remaining games.

[Birkonian]

Hoping Hannigan is available.

Happily take a draw and see what gives elsewhere.

 Buxton 1-1 Alty. Hulme.

Can't make it tonight. Good look  and safe journey to all.

Saturday's substitution was purely tactical at 4-0 up. It was just to give him a rest before this tough week. Fit and well.
