COUNTY SUPPORTERS COOPERATIVE

WITH some time having passed since County’s glorious triumph in what turned out to be their final game in the National League, against FC Halifax Town, I thought some thoughts on the enormity of what 10307 saw County achieve along with much of the nation via BT’s coverage, would be in order.

Electing to be a Stockport County supporter does not tee up an easy stress-free life- quite the reverse, our recent history has been a testing journey for those on it for the duration.

It was a joy to meet many of those on the pitch after the game, County supporters I remember from years back who have stuck with County in the sometimes-grim times over the last 11 years -they had plenty of practise in decades past!

County’s triumph is a tribute to them and to the new fans who now turn our games into lively affairs it is a joy to turn up to.

Obviously, it is also a massive tribute to the work of Mark Stott and his team who have transformed the Club since their arrival.

Many others share this glory- the previous Club Board who had the foresight to bring MS and his team in, James Gannon who has contributed heavily to County’s history and progress not least seeing this return journey off to a rousing start with our National League North title in 2018/19, and to a multitude of former County players to whom this promotion is a long desired event, plus the many County fans who are sadly no longer with us, and of course the wonderful Danny Bergara - gone but never forgotten!

Congratulations and thank you to all the above and all who I have failed to mention- enjoy the continuation of our journey- back in the Football League!
