Jones has always been very promising and I'm delighted he's now showing that potential - I never would have thought last season that we'd cope with missing Harrison.

When was the last time we played Stockport in the FA Cup?  In fact, have we EVER played them?

Looking forward to this game, should be a great atmosphere. Come on Alty. Hoping for an Alty win.

As a real ale tw*t myself, I tend to agree with Mick.

Real ale does depend on getting a good turnover of people drinking it, and people have different reasons for going to different venues.  At a specialist beer  (and pie) bar like Pi, I am quite happy to try something I have never heard of before, if it's not too expensive, but, at a sports club, that's a minority interest, and I would rather have just one beer which people have heard of, will buy, and can feel confident it's reasonably well kept. I might be wrong, but I doubt the groups who hire the CSH away from football drink much, and real ale which is "off" can be awful and you would be better off having that can of Red Stripe from the fridge.

Therefore, not necessarily Wainwright, but a similar beer (subject to any contracts), and maybe even a local one from Dunham, as I know they deal with Trafford Metrovicks rugby union.

I am more confident about this game than I was going into the Bradford game, although a draw would be  perfectly acceptable between two teams with similar records.

From working in Stockport, I get the feeling there will be a very good crowd - 3500 or so.

Real Ale drinker here.........fine with the Wainwrights and happy to have standard keg cider..............but I won't queue for more than 5 minutes to give someone my money

Yes I see it as you being complimentory as well - Never thought it was intended to knock any of our other strikers and it was me who put DRs name in the frame.

I know what you mean about Jordan being likely to score when in a decent position - it was just that in my opinion, DR who may have missed many a sitter in his time, also got himself into a decent position quite often - hence his record

Two different type of strikers I guess..........goal per game ratio may be something to compare at the end of the season

2-2 (JJ pen, Harrop). Could be feisty out there, we need to finish with 11 on the pitch.

Attendance 3197

Also, blossoms are sponsoring Saturdays match if anyone wants a sandwich and sausage roll with the Band for 60 quid

You can;t score when you are suspended though and I think Jordan will be lucky if he is only suspended once more this season.

I think the big pitch there will suit us a treat. Highlights of Stockport v Hereford here, far from a classic
