Preview
The Stan Robinson Stadium hosts its final Saturday game of 2025 as Stafford Rangers welcome Atherton Collieries in the NPL West.
After a confidence boosting cup win, the Boro’ will be looking to end a run of five league games without a win against a side with their own playoff aspirations.
The Opposition
After a stuttering start to the season, Colls’ have rallied and find themselves in 9th position in the table, taking thirty points from their twenty games played so far. Last weekend they battled to a 0-0 draw away at promotion chasing Bury and will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run to three matches. On the road so far, Atherton have won three and drawn two of their 10 matches, something experienced manager Micheal Clegg will be looking to improve on as he searches for consistency from his side.
Last Time We Met
Back in September, Atherton took all three points, running out 3-1 winners in Greater Manchester. A Dan Cockerline header halved the deficit midway through the second half, but a Niall Battersby goal in the 73rd minute sealed the points for the home side in front of a crowd of 272.
