Keep on the A6140 until you come to a set of traffic lights with a cinema on your right, turn left at these lights,

Follow road over a bridge then over a mini-roundabout then turn left after the mini-roundabout.

Ground is at the bottom.

ALL VEHICLES MUST PARK IN THE CAR PARK ON THE RIGHT. COACH PARK ON LEFT



The Tameside Stadium has a capacity of 4000, with seating provision for 527 in the covered stand. There is a covered standing area opposite the main stand offering protection from the elements for circa 600. A decent stadium, but it's always a good idea to don your  winter gear before a trip to this spot.
The stadium is neat and nicely appointed , but is also exposed to the elements that usually lash those in the vicinity in unremitting fashion..


The Stadium  is home for the most magnificent football related statue........  





 Toilet Facilities are a touch problematicle for  the travelling supporters, not many porta loos serving a large body of County supporters. 




Admitedly there are some more acceptable toilets in the ground, but away fans had a ridiculous trek to find them( near the main stand).


                  Sustenance!  

 `Atlas Bar’  sold food, and drinks including those of the alcoholic variety. 
The facility  was located better than the bogs, but hedgie found that, after queuing patiently….the heavily advertised  pies  were `not ready’ when he eventually made it to the front of the queue. 


     
     Programme.       

`The Nash’…all 60 pages of it, scores some  browny points for our  Tameside hosts. This is a fairly basic read, but had  8 pages on County last season including 5 of pen pictures. 






Not bad value at £2.50.




Real Ale Pubs in the vicinity......





Prince of Orange which is 0.6m away on Wellington Road  and.....




Junction Inn  on Turner Lane which is 0.7m away.



Coach Travel.

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 forgotten more about Co

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, the

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

        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 stayed the same sco
