I'm starting this thread again because it seems to have been a casualty of the change over to the new site. The Terriers scecured another away win last night at Burton. Two wins in a row now after a barren spell. It'll all go pear shaped on Friday when we go to Norwich because the game is to be televised , we haven't won on the telly for ages.

Not posted on here for a while. Good to see Brian’s still following t’Alex! (And I’m still watching out for Accy Stanley)
A friend of mine (another lifelong Alex fan) went to Gresty road yesterday - but sadly didn’t come home. He was taken ill during the game and has died.
At least he went to the great game in the sky doing what he loved 👍⚽️
No need for ‘sorries’ enjoy watching your teams 👍

Hi, Jonray { Ex- Tugger 
}
T'Alex confused yours truly today !
Regular checks away at 'Arrowgate 1 - 0 down then 2 - 0 down.
Looking ominous until I checked late on in second half 2 -- 0 became 2 -- 1 then, just before the Final Whistle 2 -- 2 ~~ Perked up the ailing one quite markedly !!
So I might even get a decent crikit result tomorrow morning as well !!

Indeed we are , EX--t !!
But a sad memory in todays news papers about that young lad in the Milk Adverts -- the one Mr Rush told to drink Milk and he'd play for Accy Stanley ~~ the dozy scamp went left instead of right thereafter and got this week, I believe, a couple of years at His Majesties Pleasure. Oh how sad are the choices that we make along Life's Highway.

Sad indeed Brian and not the sort of ‘advertising’ Accy Stanley need!
Some might know this, but if not - from the ‘Milk Advert’ Accrington Stanley, who were at that time playing in the eight or ninth tier of non-league football, received a sum of money (from memory it was £10k) which allowed the club to buy a lease on a ground and afford a manager, John Coleman. The meteoric rise back into League football followed and those years were probably the most enjoyable as a spectator and are indelibly etched into my grey matter. Swapping ends before kick off, banter with the opposition as we passed each other (some times as few as 6 turned up!), Other times we all stood together whilst standing on the terraces and the inevitable Holland’s pie, peas and gravy at half time, followed by a few pints in t’pub afterwards.
Ah! Those were the days and I still drink my milk 😀
