Stockport (Hive) The Match Thread Helped by the Halifax
Posted: 28 Nov 2018, 14:36
So... Sunday sees the bees enter the second round of the FA cup after an improbable win against Bristol Rovers.
Unlike in previous years it is clear that the club is prioritising this competition, even at the cost of its own supporters, in an attempt to draw a plum third round tie.
Having taking down Yeovil in the previous round Stockport County will provide stern opposition as the sleeping giants of Greater Manchester travel in great numbers to Tony's wedding venue and medical facility. With over 1,000 tickets sold to away fans it will feel like an away fixture for Barnet fans, but without the nice beer and atmosphere.
My memories of travelling to Stockport involve a glorious 4-1 away win, and another occasion where we had to don £1 poncho's as the away stand took a battering from the seasonal north west weather, followed by a bunch of kids throwing stones at the Supporters Coach (when we had one).
It is hoped that we will be able to progress at the first time of asking and after we struggled to get a foothold in the Gateshead game, this may be the time to return to a more tried and trusted John Still formation.
My team:-
----------------------Cousins--------------------------
--H. Taylor----Reynolds----Sweeney---Johnson--
--Walker----Robson----J. Taylor----Fonguck------
--------------Duku-------Coulthirst-------------------
Subs: Matrevics, Alexander, Adams, Mason-Clark, Sparkes, Harrison, Bettamer
I am going to the game, despite the club screwing over me and many other loyal fans during the week, and despite the match being on at the same time as the NLD as I still love my club and want them to be successful.
