Agree on surprisingly Alfreton. Think I went four times and enjoyed all of them. Halifax is a big miss too but even more surprisingly Kings Lynn and I went on a Tuesday night though I did stay over and it was spring. I enjoyed Alfreton but you can't have enjoyed the 6-1. I certainly didn't!! Was going to give it a miss as people I normally travel with didn't fancy going, at the last minute I decided to go on my own, got there late and only then realised I'd forgotten my wallet. I then remembered that if you scrambled thru the bushes to the left of the away entrance you could view the game from a raised position there. My two 'companions' there were a pair of Derby fans who spent most of the game listening to Derbys progress on a radio and drinking bottles of White Lightening. They started off quite friendly but there mood changed the more the game went on, I think they were offended by me turning down their offer of sharing their drink. The only plus point was I had just enough petrol to get home, literally running on fumes when I got back to Stockport.

Mumtaz Indian Restaurant is brilliant and on Great Horton Road close to the junction with Horton Park Avenue. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. We went there when we played Bradford away over Christmas, as you say it's brilliant and probably one of the best I've had. If that's the best you've ever had then their mustn't be many good curry houses around Stockport as mumtaz is good but ackbars is loads better. It's on leeds road in Bradford and Eastgate in Leeds.

I said one of the best, it was recommended by friends in Bradford who say it's the best in the area.

Always enjoyed the short trip to Curzon Ashton - the tram in particular was a big plus, and when the Metrolink Stockport extension from East Didsbury to the town centre happens, I hope we can exploit this and draw more from Didsbury, and South Manchester generally, including tapping into the enormous student numbers.
County usually gave Curzon a gate of around 2,000 instead of their normal 350, which with all the add-ons made it a bumper pay-day for them to which I was always happy to contribute.

Mumtaz possibly gets more publicity than the rest for being good and if you ask many locals who may not use any of the type will tell you its the place to visit. Not a curry fan by a long way and being localish i have heard of Mumtaz but never Ackbars even though i have passed the bradford one on numerous occasions.

Curzon was great especially compared to FC and salford which i disliked to the point of hatred.
