Looking at the tickets section of their website suggests that the away section is the open (Railway) end +/or the two bays of seats on the far (Popular) side nearest to that end. Adult admission £15.

Expect you will be in either the railway end (open) or if there is any chance of rain you will be in two blocks of the pop side.

Expecting 500- 1000 given your position.

About 450 would've been a thousand if we were going for tittle

Given that our average home gate is under 1000, 500 would be a very good showing - but we could well be close to that.

Anyone know what parking is like at the ground? Looking to keep the walk as short as possible.

Average home league gate by my reckoning is currently just over 900, not being published as such by the Non league paper and football web pages listing yesterdays gate as 160 rather than 1060!

Given the last few night games at Moss Lane have had crowds around 600-700 we will take 300-350

Taking yesterday's official figure of 1160 into account the average home league gate so far is 914.

Post by: SW on April 13, 2014, 05:53:36 PM
1160, my mistake. Not a bad showing these days considering what, 20-30 from NFU.

Wish we could get 1100-1200 in every week, what a difference that would make.

I know a few people who rarely go to home games who are thi kong of going,should be more than 300-350

That's a similar number to the following we took to Wrexham in 2009 when we secured our place in the BSP for another season.  350 would be about right, 500 isn't realistic even though it's only a hop, skip and a jump away.

Been looking forward to this game all season, Me and my friend are doing an overnight from London to be there.

Anyone that can possibly get there needs to make the effort for this one and show that the season isnt yet over and that we still believe we can achieve play off promotion, whatever you think our chances are!

Potential to be one of our biggest away followings in years.
Title: Re: stockport away
Post by: Mrs Warbouys on April 14, 2014, 10:43:32 AM
A win on Tuesday and Friday will leave us one point off the top of the table, I'd expect everyone who can go on Friday to make every effort to do so, away followings of 500/600 were common at northwich

I am going, but do not have a clue as to how best to get there, and what to do/where to go when I do get there.

Thought the train may be a good idea, combined with the tram via Piccadilly. Is the station far from the ground? Parking sounds crap!!

Post by: Paul Cain's Chip Pan on April 14, 2014, 11:16:33 AM
More importantly, we need to put some daylight between ourselves and Boston/Guiseley before they play at the weekend. If we (god forbid) were to lose both games, even getting into the playoffs could be out of our hands by next week.

For me, the title is gone, so playoff qualification is paramount. Would be nice to have that in the bag before we go to Histon in order to allow us to rest a few, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Tram to Navi Rd then one stop to Stockport. 15mins

Trains leave Navii Rd at 06 past the hour, return from Stockport at 22:28.

I think if you bring between 400 and 600 that would be decent, in fact Macc only brought more than that when they were pushing for promotion.  I know a few County fans who'll say 500 is poor but we're all struggling to come to terms with this level and that's not being a big time Charlie, when you see 7 away fans in the away section it's a bit of a culture shock. I went to Brackley on Saturday and it was like going to Cheadle Town, compared to clubs like Brackley, Ferriby and others you're a proper club and your support is pretty good at this level,  we're just pretty much a fish out of water.
Anyway if you're coming over pop into The Armoury you'll be more than welcome. I'd like to wish you well but this Northern division is short on Northern teams and you've also got a decent ground with a good chippy and some good pubs in town so I don't want to lose a day out like that, wait a season and come up with us.

Coco's is now a huge car park, Castle Street on Edgeley used to be a busy shopping street, now it's deserted but it's still got plenty of parking, in fact Stockport will soon be a huge car park with NCP sponsoring County. Anyway come on the train and have a beer.

Make sure you do go out the back way, as going the front way makes it a long walk.

Out the back entrance, up the hill and turn left. Keep walking up to the roundabout (Army Reserve barracks on your left hand side) and you will see the floodlights. Keep to the left, follow the road past the old tip (now a car park) and you can't miss it. Away fans are in the first set of turnstiles you will encounter.

350 would be an awful turnout surely? A new ground for most with Alty,15 mins down the road, potential for a decent day out and even though some are disappointed at recent results we're still in the top 5.

I'd expect at least 400 to 500 for this one.

I think we'll have a northwichesque 550 on Friday night, I know its only a local game rather than a derby match, but its a new ground for a few, easy enough to get to and a win would put pressure back on Telford and ferriby, looking unlikely we will win the league but we have a chance of going a point behind the leaders and that will entice a few more along also
