Saw this earlier - vile. Even if you don’t recognise it for what it is, at the very best (and that’s being generous), you’re targeting a parent with young children and dragging the name of the club you support into it. I’ve seen a lot of County fans offering support on the original post and on here since, which is exactly what we should be about. Just be a decent person.

@JamesMorrison42 No, think that's very likely to go ahead.

@_SByrne Can Wimbledon still postpone the game at EP for internationals? What happens then?

The rearranged Port Vale game is now pencilled in for Tues 28th April at EP. The new date for the Mansfield Town fixture (also at EP) is yet to be confirmed - but Tues 21st April looks like the only possible date for that. Could be a pivotal couple of weeks. #StockportCounty

@baghead325 Has it?

@_SByrne It is the 21st for the Mansfield game. It’s been confirmed.

@c0rsican It was decent for that spell at the start of the second half where we got the winner tbf

@_SByrne Honestly thought atmosphere was terrible so I'm surprised he's so ebullient

Dave Challinor: "I thought the supporters were really good tonight, when the players really needed them. I understand what it can be like, at a place where we've become accustomed to winning, and when you concede a goal as we did at the end of the first half." "The way the fans responded to that, and the way the players responded to them, was great. Similarly to Doncaster (semi-final), we have to go and get the third goal in order for it to not be nervy. We thoroughly deserved to win the game, but do we have to be more clinical, of course we do. Evidently, we need to get better at that." On Josh Stokes: "We know his quality. The injury is less of a concern now, we've got through that management phase of it. There was no real reaction from Saturday, so he was able to go again tonight. There's a desire from our side to play him into sharpness and into form." "That'll come with more minutes, and for him to come off with a goal and assist will do him the world of good." On moving back to 5th: "We've set the bar really high. We had a ridiculous run at the end of last season." "We're quite obviously going to have to use our squad with the run of fixtures we've got. It's going to be tough, everyone's going to be needed. But because we've set the bar so high, there's going to be that expectation. I'm fine with that. We're still in it, we have a cup final to look forward to - hopefully we have an exciting end to the season, and we still have our overall objective (of promotion) available to play for." On trip to Luton Town: "Things have flipped - we had the best away record, but we've well and truly put paid to that. We don't try and set up any different away from home than we do here, and it's a game which is a tough place to go, but is a good gauge of where we're at. We'll recover from tonight, and look forward to Saturday to continue the start of this run." #StockportCounty

Josh Stokes has just asked for a question in his post-match interview to be repeated because "I wasn't listening". 😂 #StockportCounty

FT #StockportCounty 2-1 Northampton Town Josh Stokes & Kyle Wootton give County a much-needed win. Dominant 15 mins at the start of the second half is enough to win the game, but wasn't very pretty beyond that. County move up into 5th with some results elsewhere falling nicely.

86' CHANCE: Cameron McGeehan fires inches over Corey Addai's crossbar. County were excellent in the build-up to getting the second, and are now left scratching around and hanging on a bit when they really shouldn't be. #StockportCounty (2-1)

84' CHANCE: Crucial block by Jack Diamond to deny the visitors a leveller. County have been flat since getting the second, and leave Northampton still with a sniff of getting another equaliser. Nervy when it doesn't need to be. #StockportCounty (2-1)

74' Sam Hoskins with an ugly challenge on Odin Bailey, goes into the book. Not sure what Hoskins is grumbling about. #StockportCounty (2-1)

71' Triple change for County. Tayo Edun, Lewis Bate, and Adama Sidibeh on; Ben Osborn, Josh Stokes (goal and assist), and Tanto Olaofe off. Olaofe really good tonight too. Should have had a goal, but has been pivotal in running the channels. #StockportCounty (2-1)

60' It's been coming, and then some. Really good from Olaofe round the corner for Josh STOKES, who adds an assist to his goal, stands one up for Kyle WOOTTON to nod in at the back post. Dominant start to this half. #StockportCounty 2-1!

58' GOOOOALLLLLLLL KYLE WOOTTON #StockportCounty 2-1!

50' BIG CHANCE: Has to score! Tanto Olaofe played in on goal, one on one, straight at Burge! #StockportCounty (1-1)

@SimonDa02190835 Pushed! 😩

@_SByrne Punched maybe an exaggeration 😟

42' GOAL: Cam McGeehan levels. Northampton get away down the left, cross in punched out by Corey Addai to the onrushing McGeehan to head over the prone Addai and in. County got the second minute opener but haven't really pressed that home since. #StockportCounty (1-1)

HT 1-1 Early, early opener for Josh Stokes, but plenty of huffing and puffing later, County (yet again) shoot themselves in the foot and Northampton haul level through Cameron McGeehan. Second half attacking the Cheadle End. Couple of options off the bench. #StockportCounty

45' Appreciate we can't just say 'poor goal' for every goal you concede, but County, again, won't want to see it back. McAdam is afforded too much space down the left up against Hills, cross in is punched by Addai straight to McGeehan inside the area. #StockportCounty (1-1)
