I see Stockport have only got 536 tickets for their game at Salford Stockport have a very unsavoury element of fans, the police asked for a reduced amount to make the very local game far easier to police. Normally it can hold 1,420 away fans so thats about 1/3 of the normal allocation.

National league play off final worth a watch tomorrow. I'm also looking forward to the championship play offs, would love to see Luton go up to give hope to clubs such as ours.
L2 looks a good contest and I'd prefer to see a Bradford v Stockport final to fill up Wembley.

Surprised to see Coventry going into the play offs on the best form with 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5. Often its momentum that gets teams over the line in the play offs.
I hope Luton win promotion.
In L1 Sheff Weds must be favourites having won their last 4 in a row.
In L2 I want Bradford to go up for their long suffering fans.
In the Conference it would be a travesty if County do not gain promotion after their points total in the season, but funnier things have happened.

Agree with all of that PV.
Play Offs are the best bit of the season for me, love the drama despite our dreadful 21st century record.

Proper old school football club in the shadow of Man City so do well to get decent crowds.

They have benefitted by the fervour of the new owners, doing away with the previous owners who were as dodgy as Power it seems. Now run by a lifelong fan of Stockport who has used community spirit to gain extra backing of fans by investing in the ground and the playing staff, they were a top 2/3 budget squad this season and as such are probably underperforming in all honesty. Lets face it though, Stockport, albeit in the lower leagues can benefit from having a population of almost double that if Swindon at near 300k.

They did have a great season last year in the Conference, a huge expense of wages though with them offering Sarcevic, Horsfall, Knoyle, Bardsley and Madden very large wages probably on par with Wrexhams budget last season. The owner has put his money where his mouth is and backed the manager.

Am I missing something, why would you specifically want to get a club with a big support who would bring a fair few down to us out of the division?

Rather offset by having two whacking great big clubs (3 if you count Salford ) pretty much on their doorstep.
