The Voice - Match preview Stockport County vs Bradford City Tuesday 15th August 2023 7:45pm

350 extra tickets.
What a bunch of Messers Stockport are.

 

And the best news is it’s all unreserved seating as it should be for every away game.
The amount of people at Accy Stanley coming in at 7.45pm searching for their seats was a joke.

 

If you do unreserved seating you've got to cut the capacity by 10% for safety reasons to account for the odd seats being left in between groups of people so there's no incentive for clubs to do unreserved seating if it's going to be a sell out at full capacity

 

Managed to get one for the missus lad too

 

I managed to get two tickets today. Well chuffed!

 

It’s irrelevant because even when a sell out, nobody sits in allocated seats and this means people stood in isles just before kick off.

 

That's a risk the club takes and if they use an external company for stewards then it's on them not the club. All allocations have to be passed by the safety advisory groups, unreserved seats at 100% capacity wouldn't get past them.

 

If you’re driving best to check motorway closures. Last week M60 closed J7 to 13

 

Sold out again.
Bet you they send another few hundred the absolute messers

 

That will only affect those coming from south Roger

 

So Stockport lost their opening 2 games, but reading the comments and match reports from their game yesterday, they were far and away the better side And were extremely unlucky. Tough game this.

 

Of course. Anyone thinking otherwise…..meh!

 

Early goal will secure 0-3 win for the Bantams.

 

It is, especially given our record against teams that are struggling. Let's hope we are able to kick them whilst they are still down, rather than kick start their season as we normally do in games like this.

 

1st game against Gillingham pretty poor by both sides 1st half, we were far the better side 2nd half & got done totally against the run of play. Gills were a solid well organised side though, not exciting to watch but they'll be difficult to beat & will be in the mix this season.

Carabao cup against Wendy again we were the better side for about 65 mins & held on to the lead until the 8th minute of added time before losing on pens.

Yesterday we were great for the opening 20 then we made a mistake & gifted them the lead against the run of play again. Our main problem at the moment is that we're missing our target man in Kyle Wootton, we've had all summer to address this but haven't, yet we persist in putting cross after cross into the box to our non existent target man. If we do that on Tuesday your CB's & very good keeper will gobble them up all night long.

I make you favourites on Tuesday but it wouldn't surprise if it's a stalemate like the fixture last season & right now I'd take that just to get a point on the board. Sounds crazy after only a couple of games but if things don't go right for us on Tuesday I can see the natives getting restless. We're notoriously slow starters but the pressures already on as giving the leading pack a couple of months head start before we wake up in October is what did for our promotion ambitions last season & that won't cut it this time around.

 

Despite your start, I would be very happy with a point on Tuesday. Had this down as one of the toughest fixtures of the season along with Gills away.

 

Same I’d bite your hand off for a point now, I’m sure I’ll get stuck for lack of ambition but Stockport won’t be down there long.

 

They lost 5 away games in a row before the visit to VP last season.

 

But we won't be playing Timi this time .
