42 Macc Lads/Lasses


Recommended Posts

Only 42 Macclesfield supporters could be arsed to go to Hereford tonight, but those who did will never forget it. Macc won 4-0 and the gallant 42 witnessed a goal scored from 50 yards! :pow:

 

Keeping the faith through all those wasted journeys and then all those dreams come true.

 

Having got back from Scunny I know how they're feeling. :applause1::bluearmy::dance::bblue2:

Have we taken less for an away match in recent seasons?

Have we taken less for an away match in recent seasons?

 

Not recently but on 5th September 1995 Ancona 1 Latics 0, in the Anglo-Italian Cup, a sparse attendance of 311 was the record lowest crowd for a Latics’ match in all competitions, because all but a few of the Ancona fans boycotted the game, due to some local dispute with their club.

 

Only 33 Latics fans were present, including 20 fans who had flown with the team, and a young baby with his parents, who had travelled from Verona after not being impressed with their first and only visit to the opera. However, the gallant 33 were joined by over 100 sailors from H.M.S. Glasgow, a destroyer docked in the port, which had been visited in the afternoon by Alan Hardy at the invitation of the captain. The sailors had been given complimentary tickets and Club badges and, although they supported other English clubs, they became honorary Latics fans for the evening and joined in with all of our songs.
