Friday Night Preview: Stafford Rangers

Stafford Rangers are the visitors as Trinity return to action at the Gainsborough Martin and Co Arena on Saturday afternoon. It's a 3pm kick off in the PitchingIn Northern Premier League. With no Premier League football on the calendar, due to the winter break at the top level, why not think local and come down and support your local side, tickets priced at £12 for adults £8 concessions and U16s £4 and available on the gate.

Details

Earlier in the season, the two sides played out a goal-less draw at Marston Road, with both teams earning a share of the spoils. Since then, Stafford have picked up five impressive victories on the road, including wins over Whitby Town, Buxton & Matlock Town, plus three points hauls against Grantham and Radcliffe, showing the visitors quality on their travels. In total, Matt Hill's side sit in third place in the away form guide, meaning Tom Shaw's young guns will certainly need to be at the races to maintain our own superb home form, which has so far seen the Holy Blues pick up 24 points in thirteen home fixtures.

Nine places and ten points separate the two sides at kick off, with the side from Marston Road currently on 40 points, sitting eighth in the up to date standings. Come along, enjoy the match between two old school non-league sides, grab some fabulous football grub from the Blues Club Snack Bar, whether that's pie, peas and gravy, or chips and cheese, there's certainly something to tickle your tastebuds with some of the best value footie cuisine on offer!
