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.

Following discussions amongst the board & management team, it was felt that our recent cup successes coupled with the Finnish weather, it would be difficult to arrange a date before the first round concludes in December.
We understand that this might come as a disappointment to supporters, but we have taken this decision in the best interest of the football club.

Andy has made 12 appearances off the bench this season and heads to Merseyside in a bid for more game time.
Manager, Dave McNabb said: “Andy has had a bit of a stop, start season so far for various reasons. He hasn’t managed to get the game time he wants or deserves.
“Now he is fully fit it makes sense for him to go an get some regular game time at Widnes.
“Andy remains an important player and part of the long term plans.”
Briggs added: “I would like to give a quick thanks to the fans for their unwavering support so far this season. Obviously, as a team it’s been a great start but from a personal point of view, this season I’ve not had as much game time as I would have hoped.
“The fans however have been unbelievable throughout. As a player, playing games is the most important thing, so hopefully I can take this opportunity to get so much needed game time and I hope to see you all soon.”
We’d like to wish Andy all the best for his time at Widnes and we’ll keep you updated on his progress.

Town are more than aware that Bury go into the game after that dramatic Emirates FA Cup win at Radcliffe last weekend and a good result in a demanding midweek encounter with Chadderton.
In such a situation, a come-down in a real danger. But everyone at Gigg Lane has promotion as the No 1 priority for the season, so the game at Longridge is a Cup Final – just like every league game.
Last season, Bury took four points from their two games against Town, drawing 1-1 at home and winning 2-1 at Longridge.
Highlights and post-match interviews from Tuesday are available on our YouTube channel (links below)
We head up the M6, looking to make 20 unbeaten since the start of the season in all competitions. It’s 13th away game of the season – looking to pick up our 10th win on the road.
We’ve scored 39 goals on the road this season, averaging 3.25 goals per game.
In Opposition – Longridge Town
Town’s last match on Tuesday was a 4-3 Macron Cup win on penalties after a 1-1 draw at home against Holker Old Boys. Before that, they’d lost three successive league games – against Abbey Hey and Squires Gate away and Litherland at home.
The Preston club was created in 1996 by the merger of two teams which had started life in the 19th century as church sides playing in different leagues. They progressed to the NWCFL’s Division One North in 2018, and scored 144 goals on their way to becoming champions in their first season.
Their aim now is to consolidate their position in the Premier Division, having finished in 19th position last season with 44 points from 46 games. They are currently in eighth position, having won eight and lost seven of their 15 games.
