...we thought that we had scored. The match officials were not so sure. Thankfully for us, Kane Wallwork decided to take matters into his own hands....
Wow. Little old Avro are top of the league. We are from Oldham, by the way. And yes, we know you don't get anything for being top in February. But please forgive us for getting just a little bit excited about it all right now. Up the Ro!

Michael Afuye.......SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have made it through to the First Qualifying Round for the first time in our history!!!!
We would like to send our congratulations to all Latics fans waking up this morning to a new dawn under local and passionate ownership, after such a dark period in their history. Good luck with the next chapter: we will be there whenever possible to share in it with you!
You're playing a local derby against a team who were two leagues higher than you in 22-23, three different players have gone in goal after your keeper got sent off in the first ten minutes, it's 2-2 and your stand in striker does this....don't you just love football sometimes...
Avro Football Club is delighted to be able to announce that Alex Frost and Phil Edghill have agreed to stay at the helm as we prepare for our first ever season in the Northern Premier League.
It is with great sadness that Avro Football Club announce the decision of manager Alex Frost and assistant manager Phil Edghill to step down from their roles at the end of the season.
We can now confirm that we have been drawn away to Lincoln United in our play off promotion final, which will be played this Saturday afternoon. Further details with regard to coach departure and approximate return times will be confirmed later this evening - keep those DMs…
We are not going to lie, this one had us welling up just a little bit this morning. One of our own, Lewis Murray, is out in Kenya coaching these kids and he managed to record this message of support from them. Come on Avro, indeed!
As a proud

for Joe O'Brien, a young man who was fatally wounded in a knife attack in Failsworth over the weekend. Everyone at the club sends their deepest condolences to Joe's family.
Many thanks to Alex Frost for giving us this brilliant interview in the aftermath of our momentous triumph in Lincoln on Saturday afternoon. What a day.

And talking of 'vital to our successes'...Jan 22: Thrust into the hot seat with a really tough act to follow. Apr 23: Highest finish in the non league pyramid in our history guaranteed, best ever FA Cup run, best defence in the NWCFL Premier Division. Our leader. Cheers, Frosty.
There are days when Michael Afuye is very good. And there are others like yesterday when he is pretty much unplayable. We never grow tired of seeing that goal celebration either.....
We are delighted that the fantastic food for which

Jack Worrall. One word. Immense. Kept his head last night when others might have lost theirs, and concentrated on doing what he does very, very well. An absolute revelation this season on the right side of our defence. What a player.

The wait is nearly over....however today turns out, to play in a game of this magnitude just five years after going semi pro is the stuff of dreams for our club. Thank you to all of those who have made it possible, and to the many others who have wished us well along the way.
We will be revealing the identity of one member of our 2022-23 first team squad every night for the next three weeks in the run up to our first league game on July 30th. We'll start with the new signings, and first up is experienced keeper Grant Shenton.

Goal of the Month? Goal of the Season? Yesterday we were not even sure what was Goal of the Game, so we will leave you to decide.....here is Goal A, his first for the club, scored by Matty Crothers.
Everyone at the club is devastated to hear that player of the year, and a heartbeat of Avro FC over many seasons, Mike Stockdale lost his dad at the weekend. More than a club, we are a family and we stand side by side with Mike and his family at this difficult time. RIP
Many thanks to the thousands of people who reposted Kane Wallwork's goal at Clitheroe on Saturday - it has now been viewed nearly three million times! There were a number of people who also spotted a superb assist from Jamie Rother, so in case you weren't one of them....
We are delighted to be able to announce that Courtney Meppen-Walter has joined us on loan from Radcliffe FC.

It’s two wins from two for the Ro! Liam Ellis’ goal early in the second half is enough for the three points. 3 clean sheets in three competitive games for Grant Shenton as well.

We know it is late and we should probably all be in bed after our late night in Leeds. But did you seriously want us to hang on to this until tomorrow.......we thought not.
A very special interview to cap off a very special time in charge at the club. Check out Alex Frost's interview following today's 2-0 victory against 1874 Northwich below.
Congratulations to our very own Grant Shenton on being named the NWCFL Premier Division goalkeeper of the month for November. This is Grant's second success in this fantastic season, having also captured the award in August.

After rattling the crossbar on numerous occasions so far this season, and with his side losing 1-0 last night at Burscough and time running out, Kane Wallwork came up with this absolute beauty when it mattered most....
What a night! What a team. A fantastic achievement after 210 minutes in which the two sides could not be separated until a 4-2 penalty shoot out win. Commiserations to
@AlbionSportsAFC
after what was a titanic battle over the last five days - and good luck with your 22-23 season.
Saturday afternoon ended in disappointment on the field, but it did at least give us the opportunity to acknowledge Kane Wallwork's 150th semi professional appearance for the club prior to kick off, a milestone which he reached on Boxing Day against Trafford.
Tonight's pre match playlist is dedicated to our opponents, and in particular Mr John T Ingram! As always, we hope that there is something in there for everyone......
