At Last!!

I see we will be without Austin and Sheehan.

Os says Austin will make it

Good news, Adver saying Austin is a doubt.

Steady, still 24 hours to go. Plenty of time for flooding on the cabbage Patch

To the tune of "sing when you're winning":

It's only on 'til you get there ...

Yeah but the Adver's only source these days is the forums.  if we said town were going to sign Ernie Hunt it would be on the back page of the paper tomorrow.  Lazy lazy journalism

They've lost Carl Baker, who was their best player, would love another win, but a point wouldn't be a disaster.

If we want to be serious Play-Off contenders we have to beat a club like Stockport County who are a mess. No excuses really.

The pitch my clause us serious problems, we can't pass it out of defence like we do. Heywood long ball tatics.

...thats what we want them to think re: Austin.

Stockport County are slowly becoming a youth side. The pitch could cause problems but that shouldn't be an excuse.

I'm a cautious supporter but we have to exploit Stockport's unfortunate plight on the pitch.

Agreed, we have to find a way to win this one. Our other games in hand are potentially pretty tough.

Hmm, Stockport were 100% confident the game was on last time weren't they? Did they actually get someone official to check the pitch before putting out the statement or send the work experience tea lady out to have a quick shufty again?

By their OS, they are planning to sign 5 players in time for tomorrow night.

Indeed they have.

Richie Partridge (Franchise)
Danny Swailes (Franchise)
Jemel Johnson (Franchise)
David Perkins (Colchester United)

and they hope...

Jabo Ibehre (Franchise).

Pitch inspection 1pm

Another farce maybe?

Some half-decent players there. Hopefully they'll have no time to "gel"

That Little sod Perkins was the best player on the pitch at Col U last season.

The impish albino looking fella?

I was there. Probably the worst game I've ever witnessed. You know you're in trouble when Clive Platt scores after 30 seconds.

At least they're getting the referee to inspect it this time, and not just leave it to the groundsman !!!

Have Stockport signed those players on loan or permanently? Some of those players are pretty good. I also recall being impressed by Jemel Johnson, or maybe it was because there's a bloke in a Kid 'n Play movie, called Jamal Johnson who was cool.

I didn't think they could sign players as they was still under a tranfer embargo due to administration

Me as well- thought they still had an embargo

Swailes & Partridge on 6-month deals.

Perkins & Johnson on loans.

Ibhere on emergency loan.

Bart's back!

Stockport are a joke, saying the game is on and then calling a pitch inspection.

Whats the chance of these cunts calling the game off if any of their signings fail to materialise before the deadline? Also when they rescheduled they wouldnt have been aware that City v Utd on the same night as well as being live on TV and will undoubtably affect their "walk-up" 

If they postpone again surely there will be an FA enquiry and a possible financial penalty if they find any evidence the club haven't done everything possible to get the game on?

shit-yeah he was

Given that it's up to the referee, and not SCFC, I'd say the chances were pretty slim.

Game on

Their pitch passed a 1:30pm inspection

Anybody know the team sheet? i don't think pericard is playing?

The game dosen't kick of until 1945, why would there be a team sheet at 1400 ?

Quite right, don't want it clashing with the war now do we.

Stockport County have strengthened their squad with the addition of four new signings.

Defender Danny Swailes and midfielder Richie Partridge have both agreed six-month deals at County after leaving League One rivals Franchise.

Dons midfielder Jemal Johnson has also moved to Edgeley Park on a six-month loan deal, while Colchester midfielder David Perkins has completed a similar switch.

County boss Gary Ablett is also hoping to add a fifth new addition before their rearranged clash with Swindon Town on Tuesday, with the Dons' Jabo Ibehre a possible option for an emergency loan deal.


I think the team will be the same as Saturday with exception to Lecs going in at Leftback as a replacement to Sheehan and Vince Pericard starting up front if DW isn't willing to risk Charlie Austin

Stockport have lost 11 games on the bounce, i have a feeling that there luck might change tonight and we will lose 2-1.

fuck off Bobby. unless that's some reverse psychology shit you've got going on there so to not curs us ;)

*curse

It depends, what's their record for consecutive defeats?

I say it depends because we were more than willing to assist them when they wanted to break their record for minutes without conceding a goal! :)

do one Bruce

Just going on the law of averages, to lose 12 games on the trot would be some achievement. Also they just bought in 5 new players i think Stockport at 9/2 to win looks a good bet.

Not that much more of an achievement than losing 11 on the trot mind. Have the 5 signings been completed in time then? Nothing like time to gel is there

If they play all 5 new players they won't win. thats a last minute team.
i really dont think pericard is playing!

and why do you think pericard wont play

Wht time does the players coach leave?

4.45

Theory: Studs is Pericard, and he's missed the bus.

4.45 thats cutting it fine!!
if it does leave then he prob will be playing. my mistake.

do you mean 14:45???

Think you might find he's taking the piss.

How the fuck would I know ?
