We need noisy fans in numbers to get behind the Shakers as they face Glossop North End in their 21st match of the season.
Yes, we are indeed, still the mighty Shakers. Yes, we are unbeaten. And yes, we did beat North End 4-2 away three weeks ago.
But the 5-1 win at Longridge on Saturday flattered us. Without Mitch Allen’s heroics in saving two out of three penalties it might have been a very different story.
The 900 fans who made the journey up the M6 will have been delighted with the result, but maybe concerned that the match could all-too-easily have got away from us. They may well have wondered if the pressure of that unbeaten run and two matches a week, week after week, is beginning to tell?
Just a few days after the Glossop match the Shakers have yet another big game – and yet another away from home. On Saturday, they travel 130 miles each way to take on Harborough in the final qualifying round of the Emirates FA Cup.
Another win in the league game would send them off in good spirits. So please…come on down!! Come on you Shakers!!!
You can relive all the action from Saturday and hear post match reaction from Chris Watts & Ben Hockenhull below.
In Opposition – Glossop North End
Glossop had a terrible start to the season, but have won their last five league games – including a 5-1 defeat of Squires Gate on Saturday. They’re 16th in the league table, having scored 26 goals and conceded 31.
They ended last season in 21st position. We played them three times, losing 2-1 at home and winning 1-0 away in the league, and losing 2-1 at Glossop in the Manchester Premier Cup.
North End’s history dates back to 1886. They won the NWCFL Premier Division title in 2015 and in the same year they played at Wembley in the final of the Isuzu FA Vase, losing 2-1 to North Shields.
