Let's talk about the Stockport County game

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Another game with what looks like an okay following. Already 1100 sold. I suppose it's one for the ground tickers.

Sign I'm getting old when this is classed as a ground we've not played at for a while.  Good win last time we went but scarily nearly 20 years ago now.

I’m looking forward to this one (being a ground ticket). I think I read that the away end is uncovered so it better not chuck it down. If the heavens do open I hope it brings a flood of goals and we get the 3 points

[Padge_DRFC]

Its across 2 stands on Saturday. Down the side is covered and behind the goal has no roof. Weather looks set to be bone dry.

Anyone had a beer in Stockport before? Looks plenty of pubs in the town centre.

[Cramby10]

Pubs in Stockport? Try The Grapes. But get their Early Doors. If you know, you know. To the regiment!!

Food at the ground looks far better than what we are served up

It’s a low bar. The bar is on the floor and is sinking in to the soil. It’s re-emerging near Adelaide.

Chalk and cheese - both the difference between our offering and Stockport's, and probably an accurate description of what the "cheeseburger" actually tastes like.

Jesus Christ I wouldn’t let my dog eat that

[Sammy Chung was King]

We will win this one.

I would avoid anything on Castle Street, probably end up in trouble tbh.

If you come out the train station, exit to the left is Edgeley side & Right side is town centre side.
 
The Alexandra is on the Edgeley side, aint too far away from the ground, Robinsons pub.

Town centre side, there's a bar called Bask pretty much right outside the station and a pub on the A6 diagonally right to the McDonalds called the Wellington.

10 Mins walk up the A6 (left at the McDonalds), the Magnet and the Railway are worth visiting for real ale.
Chestergate pub is a bit rough round the edges, but got all your mainstream stuff.

Head 3/4 mins down St Petersgate which is to the left of the Central Library and you'll find the spoons along with a load of other pubs.

There's two Sam Smiths pubs about 2 minutes from there, one on the underbanks (Queens Head) and one on the marketplace (Boars Head).

Plenty of places to drink on the underbanks and on the market too. It's a decent drink now Stockport tbh, come on leaps and bounds from when I first started living there nearly 10yr ago.

Any parking near the ground please

[DRFC-Hanksie]

Any parking near the ground please

It's not the best place for parking tbh, loads of side streets nearby are Resident Permits only.

Can get a few cars down Canal Street, SK1 3BZ for free, 10/15 min walk away but away from traffic. And maybe the side streets around the Alexandra pub.

Caroline Street car park is the nearest to the ground, but you need to pay.

Watch for the roadworks on Burdall St.

Anyone like circuses.

[Padge_DRFC]

This is surely at a time of the season where this is now must win. To go 9 points off is too much. Big game!

[Campsall rover]

It’s certainly a must not lose game imo.  Having said that we must go there to try and win the game 100%

We need a very lucrative March. 4 wins & 2 draws. 4 wins and 1 draw probably keeps us in it but anything less than 12 points from next 6 games means we may well have too much to do in the last 8 games.

It’s not impossible but looks unlikely now. Can we find that illusive consistency we haven’t had since the first 6 games of the season?

I'm using justpark app for the first time, a fiver to park safely on someone's drive for the afternoon, 5 mins walk from the ground

I’d rather not go up than perform like we did in those first 6 games

I have a spare over 65 ticket going spare if anyone wants it

[since-1969]

The longest competitive football match in recorded history was the showdown between English clubs Stockport County and Doncaster Rovers at Edgeley Park on March 30, 1946. The duration of the match was a remarkable three hours and 23 minutes and the world record has stood for over half a century.

A bit  like how this season is feeling 

[Chris Black come back]

That wasn’t a classic but a fantastic clean sheet, which should always be the priority. We didn’t have a single corner.

[Bessie Red]

Great result that. Stockport are very good at home so to get a point and not concede is brilliant!

[normal rules]

Most level headed rovers fans would have taken a point today.
Good result.

[Thorney]

Absolute solid in defense today.
Tom Anderson mom for me. Followed by Mitchell.

We badly need to work on the top half of the pitch now.

[steve@dcfd]

Yes you are right but we still can’t score. We have an attacking HoF and  manager yet we can’t create enough and we definitely can’t score.
8pts behind Mansfield on the same games and there in 8th.
We are now in the bottom half of the table so wil bounce back decisively or find our own level who will be right Blunt or Bramall
