Hatters Hoping To Pack Edgeley Park For Avenue Clash

The Hatters have been on an incredible run of form of late and find themselves in the top three in the National League North.

And with the team doing so well on the pitch, the club are expecting a gate of more than 5,000 on Saturday afternoon.

It's an atmosphere the players deserve after their recent form, thinks manager Jim Gannon.

“The fans were magnificent at Altrincham and at the moment I think everybody’s enjoying their football," he told the club's website.

“Our players are putting a massive effort in despite work and family pressures, so for them to be going about their business as professionally as they are, they deserve this game on Saturday because it’s going to feel like a cup final.

"It’s a great game for everybody to look forward to this weekend.”

Chairman Richard Park added: “I want to thank the fans for their magnificent support in recent weeks, culminating in the amazing scenes at Altrincham on Saturday.

“Given our recent run of results and the excitement building around the borough, we are anticipating that the crowd this Saturday could be the highest of the season so far, in excess of 5,000.”
