Stockport Predictions

We will get our elusive winning 3 games on the run at last,


Stockport   1   Town  2

Hearn 2,  ( one off his bum and one that hits him while lying on the floor )  


ATT, 3,894    408 mariners

Another 3-0 (Hearn 2, and Duffy)

3-1 Hearn x2 Coulson 4,052 (504)

1-0 town another solid defensive display utm

Stockport have drawn 6 of their 8 games 1-1.

My prediction: 1-1. Hearn 90.

2-1 Town.
Hearn with both,499 Mariners.

stockport county 1-3 grimsby town (hearn 2 ,makofo)

att 3871 (631 mariners)

1-1 Still unbeaten in 3 games mind.

Clean sheet and snatch the win  

We surely can't win 3 in a row can we? I'd be happy with a point, over the moon with a win.

1-1, Hearn with a last minute equaliser!

The crystal ball clears..........Out of the blocks and a solid 90 minutes by all Town players - so.... Stockport 1 Grimsby Town 4..... Hearn 2, Disley and Mafoko.

3127 gate of which Town have 546 fans.

do i sence a tad of optimism in town fans? happy days!

3 - 1 Town Hearn Makofo Coulson

1-3 town hearn eagle and coulson. UTM

2-1 Town. I really really really hope Hearn gets at least one of them.

Just to clear up that you dont have to be an "idiot"to get arrested!

what would you class someone as then?

after the burton sentencing. i think anyone who would willingly put themselves in a position to get arrested at a football game lacks a certain degree of intelligence, therefore could be classed as an idiot imo .. we know the score, we know the consequencies

Some of the sentencing for the burton incident was absolutly ridicolous!infact pathethic!i,m going over abit of old ground,but travelling with town away for the last 25 years i,ve seen town fans collectively treated like 2nd class citizens and it doesnt matter whether your 15 or 65,,ok i agree that some of the behaviour warrants a tough response,but i,ve seen some disturbing evidence of stewards and police antaganising and gourding town fans into a reaction,,mansfield,lincoln,notts county to name a few!The burton episode was in my opinion blown well out of order especially the sentencing!Derby stewards that day were inciting a reation from town fans,,and even outside the ground prior to kick off,police using snatch squads randomly picking innocent people out and refusing them entry for no reason!

Draw 2.2

1-1

I predict a riot

I know he hasn't really done anything to warrant a starting place, but it might be worth sticking Elding on so he can inevitably raise his game and stick 3 past his old club!

Town win 2-0 and 800+ Town fans will make the journey,loads going who havent been for a while usually spices up the atmosphere.

some of it might have been over the top, but i bet it makes people think twice about how they behaved/behave at football now, 3/5/10 year bans, prison sentencing, all for  60 seconds of aggro.. like you say its old ground, and it seems talking about FV really pisses people off, i  have followed GY since the mid 80's, and seeing the relationship between what happened then, and how some fans are treated nowadays, i can honestly say i am not surprised.Grounds were trashed etc, and maybe if the harsh sentencing was out back then, we may not have had to put up with years of FV, and the majority of fans are treated with the respect they deserve. I'll be going on the train on saturday with a decent group of friends, all pushing 40 or in our 40's, we choose a few games a season were we all turn out for a good day out, no trouble(unlike days gone by) if were antagonised, we turn the other cheek because we know that we would be idiots to even think about causing any aggro.

iirc don't we have a rubbish record at stockport.
time to put it right 2-1 town. hearn and eagle

Unbeaten in 2  

I'm going for a 1-0 win to town Duffy to score, I think Duffy is more than proven at this level especially his goals for Oxford, I remember when watching the live scores on tv Duffy 's name always seems to appear.  Elding also has a good record as does Hearn albeit bps north so all in all we have 3 very good strikers who can quite easily score many.

Anyway past meetings with Stockport and I agree that we don't have the best track record against them but it's time to put one past them.

History not really on our side then. I'm superstiitous about stuff like that. Was worried about Darlo at home for the asme reasons

Difference is though, we play Darlo every year. We've not played Stockport for 4 seasons and they got promoted that year. (And we won there that season in the JPT).

That's true. Still feel a bit edgier about it than I was before though

Don't forget, we won them in the cup in '08 at their place  .

the 3-3 draw at their place was my first visit, and when town scored the 3rd i got pictured in the sports back page going mental, this will be my 4th trip now, so hoping for more of the same

2-1 Town. Hearn to break his duck. 3700 with 510 Fishy People

2-0 to the hatters

1 - 1       483 town fans

I think it will be a tight first half, 0-0 at the break. towns fitness and new found confidence will tell 2nd half and we'll run out comfortable 2-0 winners.

800+ town fans in attendance.

Stuff history imo, we havent won 3 games on the bounce for years (Buckleys last time as manager?)  and clearly we dont have a good record at their place but i havent seen hands mention it once. Nor should we. UTM!
