I’m a bit suspicious here. Plymouth are fighting relegation. And suddenly this poster turns up with his mates. They are on a covert mission to collect information on our team and style of play in case we meet next season. Devious gits. Look out for cameras and rain macs (Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean that they are not out to get you) Hope you stay up by the way. Brummies down. I'd prefer the 3 that currently occupy the relegation spots to come down, decent nearby away days. I'm in no rush to visit St. Andrews again. |

As others have stated some good places around the market place & underbank, petersgate tap, The Wellington, Bask & the runaway brewery are good too. The pubs nearest the ground on Castle st. (Jolly crofter, Bobby Peel, The Albert, & Royal Oak) will all be full of County fans & are extremely cheap but be aware you'll be served in plastic glasses on matchday, The Armoury on the roundabout is another home fan favourite & you'll get your beer in a proper glass there. We also have a fan courtyard at the back of the Cheadle end that opens pre-match for beers & food (but plastic glasses again obviously). Enjoy your trip & apologies in advance if you get wet  You missed P3. If you're coming all the way from Plymouth you wouldn't want to miss it. I did consider it but seeing as I've only set foot in there once myself in the last 30 odd years (& once was enough ) I didn't think it was fair to recommend it to our friends from Devon! However if they're looking for something erm...slightly different! Then they could always do the holy trinity of P3, The Chestergate, & The Edgerton....not sure that would paint Stockport in the best light though! Saying that, with Plymouth being a Navy town there's probably dozens of places there of a similar ilk! For the benefit of chipmunk1990:- P3 is the affectionate name given to a pub called the Pineapple on Castle st. It is also the ward number of the psychiatric ward at Stepping hill hospital......make of that what you will! |

On an away trip to Plymouth in the Carlton Palmer days we asked a taxi driver to take us to a club and he dropped us off at somewhere that was on a par to the Pineapple, we were the only people in there and didn't hang around. In fact I think we got the same taxi driver back into town!
We finally found somewhere decent and bumped into Carlton throwing some smooth moves on the dancefloor.

Thank you for all your kind suggestions we will check out a few we definitely do have some iffy places down this way too. As I have a northern partner she tells me an awful lot how it rains more down here but that’s why we put roofs on our stands 😂. Looking forward to joining in your promotion party.

If that’s a sly dig at our historic Ian Dowie End then you can f*ck right off If you come down, please drag QPR and Millwall down with you. Two, maybe three more easyish fixtures for me 😁😁 |

As I did not have a particularly good wobble in your midden last time down in them there parts (Devon, Cornwall, Scilly Isles, South of Wales) - apart from winning 4-3 with Big Kev starring at Home Park IIRC. I suggest you start at The Chestergate, hit the Edgy and ask for Dave, quick pint in The Cocked Hat avoiding the needles, swear your tit's off in the Vic, declare your undying love for Ted MCminn in the Armoury, ask everyone in the Prince Albert whether they support Citeh or Dung, offer everyone in The P3 out for a fight and make sure you say you are not local and you love electro-pop but hate Jim Reeves, order a lager-top with extra lime in the Petersgate, put your phone on full blast and demand to know where the juke box is in the Boars Head, wander into The Arden Arms with a McDonalds and declare loudly you did not know they served food, hit a 180 in The Queens on Portwood and run around the pub with your Argyle shirt over your head, demand entry to The Unity, The Railway, The Grapes, The Bull's Head, The Black Lion, The George and The Nicholsons.
Only joking chaps, you should be ok in The Armo, Swan with Two necks, Angel, Wellington, Petersgate, Bobby, Albert on your way to God's favourite patch of Turf!
Happy trails!

That is all tremendous advice. Reading down the list I think our new Devonian friends should just about survive until the point when they walk into the Arden Arms with a Big Mac. At that point I start fearing for them. |

When was the last time we were in the same division as them? |

Talking Plymouth.....................Can't forget that bizarre match in the 1990's at Exeter (same weekend Aryton Senna died) when all the Exeter fans were cheering for us in a vain attempt that we could stop Plymouth going up !!
