Exactly. He said what he wanted...if the nobs did'nt like it they could get stuffed. That was his attitude.
He was an arrogant pig-headed so and so. But he got the job done.

not much away support for the Foxes apparently either?

What year was this? It was probably raining and we have got better things to do.

Actually, 12 of the 13 were blue. They had hired a horse and cart for the day and filled it with Watneys party 7's.

It was a while back, the match was played at Old Trafford after a Man U game, apparently the Stockport police were worried about the hordes of Leicester fans and the fact that they couldn't contain the 'crowd'
Stockport and Leicester fans organised a planned boycott of the game because of the switch in venue and thus was the gate.
actually about 2000 Man United fans watched the game having stayed behind to get 2 games for the price of one.........only 13 people paid to go through the turnstiles after the Man United game ended.

Also some other notable Stockport County records........

1, the club has had to apply for re-election to maintain League status more than any other club.

2, We have been beaten in the FA Cup by more non league teams than any other. (I was at a few)

Brisbane Brummie

Don't know - will be really tight - they play a similar game to us - gritty, passionate & not so pretty sometimes. I reckon that it could be 0-0 or someone may nick it at the death - let us hope that Forsell scores another!!!! Have you bought the BCFC DVD from last season? If you haven't - get it on your xmas list - all the goals from last season including the great Derby Double 5-0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


KEEP RIGHT ON.

Honestly, someone who wants success and can create a team to fufill that criteria. Yes the romance of a previous player as a manger is great, but in practice isn`t doesn`t work out.

I will continue to support them whatever, but it would be nice to see some glory back at White Hart Lane.
