WHERE TO DRINK

There is a small Labour Club (C.I.U. Affiliated) right by the entrance to the Railway End, that allows visitors in, for a small entrance fee. Otherwise there are a number of pubs along a shopping area, across the main road from the away end. Probably the best is the Royal Oak just at the end of Castle Street. Very friendly, away supporters are welcomed and there's always a bit of good natured banter flying about. 

Also recommended is the Sir Robert Peel half way up Castle Street. One pub to avoid is John Jo Greens'.  'The Armoury' is a Robinsons pub situated by the roundabout at the top of Castle Street and is reported to be excellent for away fans. The Landlord is very friendly, the Robbies beer is excellent and the home fans there are very welcoming.  As you come up the hill from the station, The Grapes pub on the left at the top of Castle Street is also suggested. 

Please note that alcohol is not available in the away end. If you chose to drink in Stockport town centre, it is worth looking out for a Robinsons pub, as the beer is excellent and is actually brewed in Stockport itself.
