The home fans saw their team lose the first Non League Premier: Northern game of the season here at Bower Fold. Last season these fans witnessed 9 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses from Stalybridge Celtic's 21 home games.

Johnson was the last player to score a league goal for Stalybridge and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Stalybridge Celtic haven't scored in 266 minutes.

The Stalybridge Celtic supporters got no joy from their last match, also played here at Bower Fold: A 0-1 defeat against Warrington Town (placed 2nd).

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting South Shields (0-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Stalybridge Celtic perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Stalybridge as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Stalybridge Celtic has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 9.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Stalybridge Celtic as they are travelling to their away game against Matlock Town in the Non League Premier: Northern. That match is three days after this one.
