Altrincham FC plays its home matches at the J Davidson Stadium on Moss Lane, a traditional non-league ground a short walk from Hale railway station. The club, founded in 1891, currently competes in the National League – the fifth tier of English football – and has a loyal local following built over more than a century of competitive football.

A matchday at Moss Lane offers the classic non-league experience: close-to-the-pitch terracing, a club bar, a tea hut, and a crowd that feels like a community rather than a crowd of thousands. Home fixtures typically kick off at 3pm on Saturdays, with occasional midweek evening matches under the floodlights. The club shop and ticket office are open on matchdays, and tickets can also be bought online in advance.

Ticket prices are £22–£23 for adults, £17–£18 for concessions (over-65s and students), £10–£12 for juniors, and £1 for under-5s – making it an affordable family outing. Check the club's official website for the current fixture list, matchday arrangements and any changes to kick-off times before travelling.
