Preview

Little over 48 hours on from the win at Conwy Borough, West are back in action at Stockport Town.

The two clubs are no stranger to each other, having met six times in since 2017/18. Curiously,  all six were single goal victories with five in West's favour. We also visited SSV in pre-season last year, a late penalty settling an otherwise forgettable 1-0 defeat.

The Lions finished last season strongly, reaching for the NWCFL Division 1 South playoffs before losing to eventual winners Cheadle Town.

Their pre-season got under way on Saturday with a very credible 2-1 win at home to Prestwich Heys, who finished 7th in last season's NWCFL Premier.

Like West, Town will be eagerly awaiting this month's FA Cup draw, perhaps moreso as it will mark their first ever appearance in the competition.

Directions

Parking for up to 250 cars is available at the ground. The car park is fully tarmacked and floodlit.

The ground lies a short distance from the M60. To reach us from the motorway, you should leave at Junction 25, which is signposted for Bredbury. Follow signs from here for the A560 towards Bredbury and Sheffield.

Just after passing the McDonalds Drive-Thru, take a left at the traffic lights and proceed down Stockport Road towards Woodley, passing both Morrisons and Homebase on your left before passing under the railway bridge at Bredbury Railway Station. Continue on Stockport Road until you meet the next set of traffic lights.

After the lights take your first left on to Mill Lane, and continue along Mill Lane over the train bridge, taking the second right on to Woodlands Avenue, then the first left on to Lambeth Grove. Follow the road until you see the entrance to Stockport Sports Village.

We strongly advise all spectators to turn left in to the car park as this is nearest to the turnstile entrance.

By train: Woodley (9 mins walk) or Bredbury (16 mins walk)

By bus: 330 bus from Stockport to Ashton
