Away Ground Guide 4 - AFC Fylde (Monday 31 August 2015)

By -






AFC Fylde
Kellamergh Park,
WARTON, Lancashire,
PR4 1TN

Ground Capacity ;  3,000.( Seating 533)



What can you say about Kellamergh Park? Lots probably, but I am conscious of restrictions placed on me by the Laws of the land. The stadium is miles from anywhere, and is positioned precisely nowhere, as far as I can ascertain. Its not in a town.....hamlet or even near a house, but there`s plenty of grass...mud, and sheep in the vicinity!
No seats were provided for the County supporters,last time around, which again I felt was not a great way to treat the more elderly and infirm amongst us, so the 600 or so County fans , last season,spread themselves about over a mix of terraced areas, only one of which was covered!


Woody`s Eatery.


REFRESHMENT.



Fullers Bar- not for us though !

I noticed that Fullers Bar was on site, serving alcohol, but only to home fans( and those of Blackpool and Preston of course).  Refreshments for County fans ( the majority) were restricted to the usual non alcoholic variety via 2 outlets. To be fair these both looked to be doing a good job, and I am reliably informed that the meat & potato pies were excellent, whilst the coffee had what one discerning County supporter described as ` a curious flavour’.


The Meat & Potato Pies were OK however !

Simply Disgraceful !

Simply Disgraceful ! This day will rank in infamy    with some of the darkest in our Club`s history- the owners of Stockport County have sacked Jim Gannon…..a dreadful decision......... totally bereft of merit, and one heralded by a shamefully inadequate announcement, as insulting to County fans as it is to Jim. Champions under Jim in our last completed season, fourth in the league after as impressive a win as any Club Chair could wish to witness from his team on Tuesday, despite the interrupted nature of the current season, and clearly playing well, so this smacks of something other than prudence or good decision making and as for being rational and fair………….. Sadly the Club`s owners rather added to the anger their foolish decision has already triggered, by stating that the decision was not results based, but based on `culture`.   Jim is a proven quality Manager , who knows what it takes to make County tick, has done so many times in the past, and   has forg...

Wrexham 1 Stockport County 2 ( Vanarama National League) 31 August 2019

“Where`s the goals gonna come from”-is a familiar refrain from those wanting County to ship in a new striker every other week, and County once again fully answered that one with “ from almost everywhere” as goals from defenders Sam Minihan and Ash Palmer secured all the points at the Racecourse Ground today against Wrexham. A 2-0 County lead at half time seemed to signal a rout, but Wrexham fought well upon the re-start and made a real match of it , albeit that an imperious display by County`s superb back line limited them largely to shots from distance. The defensive display from JG`s boys, in the second 45 minutes, if somewhat hard on the nerves, was again excellent , but a late goal to the Welshmen made the last few minutes tenser than perhaps they should have been. It all ended well however, as ,   with Festus Arthur on in place of Bell ,for his longest stretch of on the park minutes so far, and Mulhern on for Turnbull, marshalled by Keano and Palmer, ...

Notts County 2 Stockport County 1 ( Vanarama National League) Saturday 23 October 2021

By -

        Perhaps expectations were a touch excessive, after all most visits to Meadow Lane usually result in a stiff test from a home side hell bent on victory. Today was no exception to this as County were outplayed for 94 and a half minutes of the 96 played, by a Notts County side drilled to do the basics correctly, and doing just that. Almost all their passes, no matter the situation, inevitably found a man in a black and white shirt who knew thereafter precisely what they should do with it, whereas if County had no shortage of possession at times, they appeared to be largely lacking a basic pattern to work to that went beyond the sideways pass, and the occasional long ball from Rooney. This resulted in Simon Rusk`s side trailing 2-0 two minutes into four added minutes, when unaccountably the previously immaculately drilled home back line pressed the panic button resulting in a County penalty ( 1-2) and a welter of frenzied County attacks and corners, but it ...
