This time 10 years ago, they were between seasons of their last in the NW Counties and the Northern Premier so we're both right!
I fully understand your point. From a personal perspective, I do prefer how they were before, simply because before they did the ground up, I enjoyed sitting on the grass banking watching the match, but that's gone now in favour of the bog standard rectangle stadium! I'll also never forget the season when they were bottom of the Northern Premier First Division with 10 games left and on 4 points, then went on to win 9 of the last 10 and stayed up on the last day under Rhodri Giggs (of all people!).
I'll always back them because I remember when I used to be jealous of places like Bury, Oldham, Rochdale and at that time, Altringham, Hyde and Droylsden having Football League or top to near top level non-League clubs in Manchester but my area didn't so it's great to have that now and a proper alternative local to Man Utd and City.
