WE'RE ON.

Town now return home following a brilliant comeback victory away at play-off chasing Chadderton.

To continue their good form though, they'll have to get past Stockport who, with a summer promotion under their belts have started well.

The Opposistion

For away supporters, the best two footballing pubs in Longridge that also happen to be in close proximity to the ground are Wilfrid's Club and The Towneley arms.

Wilfrid's are kindly offering member prices for Stockport supporters on matchday before and after the game.

Also, we are very dog friendly at the ground.

As for the side, Stockport have scored 55 goals this season, meaning goalscorers are fairly spread.

Attacker Daniel Lewis is their top scorer with 7, having bagged five of those in the first four matches of the season, however since his departure, Harley Monaghan is their next top scorer with six.

Striker Daniel McLoughlin fired the Lions to promotion last season but moved to Cheadle in the summer. However, he has since returned to Stockport in September and scored four goals since.

However, their key player so far this season has been Markell Foulds.

The midfielder has played in ever game this season and earned seven man of the match awards, the most in their squad.
