3pm: STOCKPORT v ROCHDALE.Byline: BY KEVIN PRICE Kevin Price is a radio host in Houston, Texas. Born December 18, 1961 in Detroit, Michigan, he grew up in the small suburb of Ferndale, Michigan until the age of 13 when he and his family left the state for Texas. & JOHN CURLE WE are backing Stockport Stockport, city and metropolitan district (1991 pop. 276,800), W central England, located in the Manchester metropolitan area on the slopes of a narrow valley at the head of the Mersey River. The ravine is crossed by a high railroad viaduct built in the 19th cent. to make it fifth time lucky at Wembley. County have lost by a single goal on the four previous visits - two play-off finals and two Autoglass Trophy finals. This is Rochdale's first visit to Wembley and a ten-match unbeaten run at the end of the regular season got them into the play-offs. However, Stockport have won five of the last six between these two and they can do it again. OUR BET: Stockport to win (13/8, Coral).
