Its about to get tough on your wallet, but your football club needs you now, more than ever.

Between now and the end of March we play 9 games of which 7 are at home. Two of those games are cup ties and if successful we may find more games added to this congested period. First game on the horizon is this coming Saturday 24th at 3pm. This is the famous “old firm” derby. Not the big Scottish one, but a more important Rangers v Celtic game as we entertain Stalybridge. It has been some time since these sides have met at Marston Road, but historically, this was always a big fixture in the Cheshire League days. Saturdays encounter has quite a lot at stake, as we embark on yet another thrilling 6 pointer encounter, hoping to build on the Tuesday night win at Rushall.

Stalybridge lie 9 points behind us but they have 4 games in hand on us and we will be looking to avenge our 2-0 defeat at the start of this month at a bitterly cold Bower Fold evening. Added spice comes into play as Stalybridge are managed by Steve Burr, a fans favourite here when he scored goals for fun in his spell with Stafford Rangers. It all gears up for a thrilling encounter so please come on down and cheer the lads on. Our match sponsors for the game are Hayley Smith and her guests, and we thank them for their support.

Hot on the tails of Saturday’s games sees us at home again in the Staffs Senior Cup when we entertain Kidsgrove, Tuesday 7:45 pm kick off. While Kidsgove lie in the bottom half of the NPL Division 1 South, they do have a few ex Rangers players in their squad and they do have the knack of knocking us out of cup competitions, so your support again is valued. The winners of the tie progress into the semi finals and will be at home to Wolverhampton Sporting Community, a former club of our striker Dan Westwood. Remember that this years final is being held on Stoke City’s ground.
