Was great to share the press box with Dave Bayliss tonight

Alongside Darren Sheridan he gave me some fantastic memories supporting this club, was great to get to reminisce on those days whilst commentate on another fantastic night

If we can’t enjoy these moments then what can we enjoy

Totally agree.During the era of Dave Bayliss and Darren Sheridan we achieved heights that nobody thought possible,the FA cup with Middlesborough and Sunderland and not forgetting the FA Trophy win in 2010,heady days indeed.,can I believe its happening again I certainly hope so.
Onwards and Upwards.

To be honest with social media they don't need to !
Still should try other avenues like posters etc as lots of elderly dont do SM & hope we get closer to 6K :scarf:
They can read a league table. That’s the only marketing Boxing Day needs.

Lovely to hear David Bayliss on Comms I'm sure in an interview last year he did with Cumbria he had a son coming through professionally can anyone remember his son's name and who he plays for?
His son is Joe and unlike his dad is over 6ft tall. 😅

A great listen and a time to remember those non league games. We travelled the miles, nearly 12,000 on our first promotion season as the ISC but were the best of times for me regardless of results.
The ISC coach was legendary.

Your not wrong about the coach Elaine, different times🙂🙂
What a fantastic 4 hours on RC last night, first listening to Db's memories of times that will obviously stay with him for ever, refreshingly honest, then listening to Adam describe how we systematically took apart a well established L2 side near the top of the division, absolute dreamland.
Really starting to believe that something very special is beginning to happen at Holker Street

I am sure those travelling on the current coaches, some maybe first time away game travellers, will have the same experiences and create the memories we have.
There were some great characters on those buses and banter and songs, well what can one say. 🤣

Fantastic, two changes and they both get the goals, bring on subs and one gets an assist. Doesn't get much better than that for PW tactics. Who needs a 20 goal striker when we have goals from all through the squad. It's like watching a Rolls Royce smoothly drive. But make no mistake Stockport will be a different animal. But saying that you have to fancy us and why not on the form we are on.
