Stockport is a good little setup. One of the clubs we work with. They openly admit they have 3 tiers of fans

die hards-call em Cheadle Enders. 
 

Lapsed mancs from both clubs as a cheap football day out 

School kids for the next generation.

sounds about right

whenver you drive by on matchdays it is noticable the amount of families they have rocking up around the ground as well

definitely a family club 

though a life long bloke I know reckons it's full of young little cunts in the cheadle end these days spending all match doing coke and giving out shit to those around them, last time he went he knocked one out and hasn't been back since

If it's this number then it's the half bottom, half top set up we had v Pompey last year (and used to have in the Prem). This is the ideal set up in my opinion, have Bolton fans all around 2 smaller groups who can't join up their chanting

Hands up if you've ever watched a home game from the south upper 

I have, we beat Birmingham 3-1 in 98/99

The away side seemed pretty full and there was seemed like about 10 of us in the home side and obviously we sat as close as we could to them

We were 2-0 up in 5 minutes and just spent 90 minutes getting abuse and hand gestures about meeting outside and perhaps having our throats slot, should we decide to meet them

[Zico]

also Seem to recall me and a mate being the only ones sat in the south lower in a midweek Carling cup tie around 2003 v west ham

I did many years ago against Fulham I think, we lost 2-0. It was shite all round.

I did think that during the Pompey game last season, we had maybe 100 fans in the south upper - can't have been a great experience!

I've done every other stand (upper/lower) except south upper -bonus points there

I saw one of the UEFA matches from SSU.

The one where it pissed it down for a day before and didn’t stop until the day after. There were no stewards about to stop you going from crazy corner to South Stand and the doors were open so we just had an explore. 
St. Petersburg? Somewhere miles away and there were only a few aways in SSL.

Was that our lowest ever league gate?

...I sat up there when we played Inter Milan.

That Zenit game should never have been played. Luckily we got the shallow end second half.

I get my free tickets in the south lower, they're Im south lower tomorrow

That’s the one. Zenit St. Petersburg. Couldn’t think of the first word.

Going back a good few decades, they used to get a good number of City or Utd turning up as, a bit like Tranmere, they used to play their home games on a Friday night. Often used to get decent crowds for the level they were at

A mate at school was a Stockport fan, we went to quite a few Friday night games in the early 80s (he lived in Hindley, me Atherton so it was bus into Manchester and the 192 to Stockport).  Some of their crowds were pitiful - less than 2k many a time, they were bottom half of Div 4 normally till they signed Mickey Quinn and started to improve.  But there was always an atmosphere and the games were decent, and if it was a local game (Wigan, Port Vale) it was quite fiesty.

I was in there too with my mate who still sits with us now, I seem to recall Borgetti scoring.

I've still no idea why we decided to sit in there.

That when Tigana was manager?

They scored in the first minute and the last minute.

And we didn't touch the ball once between goals.

We should have just let them have the win.

Don’t get the rivalry thing to be honest. Not sure I know any Stockport fans although my MD’s lads both played for them and he watched them when they did. 

But it feels like a big game. The sort we used to lose, but can now look forward to being competitive in. Horrid record against them, but records don’t concern me anymore. 

Tuesday night dented my confidence a bit and it really could go any way, this. Not even going to make a predi…..

2-1 Whites.

Watched the 5-2 palace game up there when Jiminho spanked that rocket into the top corner 

[tomski]

South lower when we beat Blackburn in 98

I know a Bolton fan (former poster) who was in the Newcastle end in upper when we beat em 4-3. Only place he could get a ticket

Not sure the players will look to put Novembers debacle right cos I don’t think many of them cared that much at the time. However, I do think they’ll now want to put Tuesday right. 
 

however the next 3 games will really show if the previous results against local sides were just a manager issue or a mix of him and player character issues
 

Hoping the former. So, a quick start. 2-0 win.
