The Fall & Future Rise of Stockport County

[@B3Band]

"Stockport Away" is a day that we Palace fans will never forget! Hope you get back to where you belong soon.

[@GoldBallTV]

As a local to Stockport I was there that day hoping for a Palace win... was one hell of a nervy game!

[@Phendrena]

and RISE we have. Mark Stott and everyone at County have worked miracles over the last few seasons. I'd enjoyed seeing you produce a follow-up to this video in a few years when we are back in the Championship.

Stockport County is closer to the Mersey than Liverpool or Everton.

Patfan91 Thanks mate

[@SimmsRyan97]

As a massive Stockport fan it was so sad to watch my club go down like this through administration considering we had done well in League One. It went from bad to worse with terrible owners who didn't know how to run a football club. Now we are on our way back, hopefully with the National League North trophy being the first bit of silverware in many years.

[@chrismole1788]

I've said twice might need a part two now it just does tifo get on it we deserve it

[@SuperQBoi]

I was playing FM and just started a a new game and was offered to start as manager for the club for which I knew nothing of and I pulled up the history page and seen they were a Champion League tier club that somehow fell to Amateur Regional North status within a decade. I was so curious WTF happened that such a rapid decline could take place in such a short span of time, thanks for the information to why the club flat lined.

[@County-ej8vj]

.....and just like that..... We have risen again!! Football League. Long time no see. How you been?

[@nkskro80]

[@rickrennyoneill]

Often Partisan remember going to a game in 2000-2001, county winning 2-0. Think you were near the top of the league at the time.

[@GoldBallTV]

Was it either a single point or goal difference that kept County from the playoffs that year?

[@patriciamackinlay6495]

best fans in theworld many stood by through thick and thjin and singing "The scarf my father wore"x

[@02whurdlea]

I'd love a video on Plymouth Argyle! 2 titles in 3 seasons in the early 2000s, close-ish to getting promoted to the Premier League (Plymouth being the largest English city to have never been in the top flight). Mis-managed off the pitch and pinning financial hopes on England winning the 2018 World Cup bid meant relegation, administration and clinging on by the skin of their teeth to the football league. Now slowly climbing the leagues again and a new grandstand on the way (promised in the early 2000s heyday).

[@voidvector6676]

They just need Second yellow card

[@MeazurAli]

can I ask you to make a video of the latest club that City football group bought? and why they want a 3rd tier Chinese club instead of investing in the one that already in the 1st tier?

[@CH-bp6mc]

Money Laundering

[@tahirelaslan8231]

Its cheaper man city will loan a lot of players and get them in the first tier like with girona they buy small clubs and make them bigger

[@koboxingtv531]

Really need to do a update

[@BadgerOff32]

It would be cool to see you guys do a video like this about Brighton and Hove Albion. We've had a very interesting history in the last 30 or 40 years, to say the least. From nearly beating Man United in the FA Cup final in '83. to the mid-late 90's when we lost our home ground, nearly got relegated from the football league and almost went out of business, Our fans used the early internet to spread word of our plight and to organize a 'Fans United Day' where fans from all across the world turned up to fill our stadium for a match (tons of Palace fans (our rivals) also turned up to support us too) Being exiled to Gillingham for 2 years Returning home to Brighton to play (for 10 years) in a converted athletics stadium (the Withdean) that was, frankly, barely fit to host even non-league games, The long drawn out battle we had with the government to greenlight Falmer stadium and the friendly 'harassment' campaign we launched against John Prescott (where we were REALLY REALLY nice to him to get him to say yes lol) To where we are now in the Tony Bloom era. Premier League football, a stunning brand new 30,000 seat stadium, training facilities that (apparently) rival Man City's, and spending tens of millions of pounds on players, all while keeping that strong bond with the fans and the community alive.... It's been a hell of a ride and a massive transformation. Over the years the club have pretty much adopted one of (Brighton fan) Fatboy Slims lyrics - "We've come a long, long way together" It's very apt. Fatboy Slim also played a big hand in keeping the club alive during the rough Withdean years, sponsoring us through his record label (yes, we literally had Skint written on our shirts when we were literally skint lol) Hell, one of our fans once won a Coca-Cola competition to win £250,000 for your club to sign a player with, and at the time it was huge amount of money for us! (we bought Colin Kazim-Richards (The Coca-Cola Kid) with the money. Didn't go well lol) All that is just scratching the surface though lol. There is so much more to all these stories. I reckon you'd enjoy piecing it all together!

[@jamesoakley5742]

Amazing video once again! Love hearing these kind of underdog sporting stories

[@flushedyukon8464]

Great watching this now. We are back!

[@senorsoupe]

Great video, hopefully Stockport can at least get back to the National League soon. It's another sad tale of a lower league team ruined by ownership who were a combination of incompetent and corrupt, the most egregious I can think of in English football was Chester City but there have been plenty of others.

[@chrismole1788]

This might need a follow up

[@96juanpe966]

I think you should make a video about the "Maracanazo", Uruguay´s surprising World Cup triumph in 1950, against local favourites, Brazil. Also, at that time the finals was a group stage, but the final game Brazil-Uruguay decided the group (and the champion) so it was kind of a final. It is one of the most emotional moments in south american sports, and I think with your storytelling, it would be brilliant!

[@jmmypaddy]

I hope they do get back Funny enough their cup run to the second round proper could have been cut short. In the preliminary rounds, they faced South Shields who are a league below them and went 1-0 down, but 2 late goals turned round the tie and County went through. As much as I am a South Shields fan, it's amazing how great stories can be influenced one great moment

champions of league two now league one next season owner has big plans to get them into the championship within the not so distant future.. can they achieve it? do they want to be a championship club.. ? clubs in championship spend a load of money chasing the dream of getting to prem league.. is being a mid-table/relegation battling side in the championship better than the 3 league title wins county have had over the past few years..

[@lostinfens]

Living next door to 2 of the wealthiest, most self indulgent football clubs in the world has never helped either. County (blessed be their name) have like most of the "bread &butter" clubs suffered from the Prem syndrome. That is inflicting imported players of dubious quality (Pogba & the like) upon the long suffering & sadly more pliant by generation fans.These players have leached both the cash & opportunities from local talent. There are far better players playing Sunday League football in that Manchester than turn out most days for both their clubs. When this cash based, short sighted approach finally ends, we may, just may see another George Best. Despite all of which, County WILL rise again.

Great club Stockport a proper football club great fans and really nice ground

[@9313James]

It wasn't failure to meet tax obligations which caused the club to go into administration. There was a tax debt but HMRC had made no noises that they were anticipating the club failing to pay it off. ONE creditor decided to ask for their money back from a loan when a plan was in place to pay them within a week, the amount of money that would have avoided such a course of action would have paid for a Premier League stars wages for a week. At least one piece of justice was served. The creditor who called in the administrators wasn't considered a priority and received a penny in the pound when the club came out of admin. Less than they were offered the DAY they called the administrators in.

[@9313James]

Why put lost 36 of 41 matches in 2009/10. There were 46 league games that season so it would be 36 of 46.

[@9313James]

Also worth noting the training ground wasn't owned by Stockport County so couldn't be sold by Stockport County. It was sold by the owner (previous County owner Brendon Elwood) which had the same affect as stated in your video in that it meant no training ground without the actual income to the club as you've suggested here.
