 Stockport
County Football Club is an English football club based in Stockport,
Greater Manchester, England. They play in League One, the third tier of
the English football pyramid. Their home stadium is Edgeley Park. They
are nicknamed The Hatters, although they are usually referred to by
supporters simply as County. The Club formed in 1883 as Heaton Norris
Rovers, shortly after merging with a similarly named club, Heaton
Norris F.C. and on 24 May 1890 changed their name to Stockport County
Football Club with reference to the newly formed County Borough of
Stockport.[1] They joined the Football League in 1900, and have
competed in it continuously since 1905. Having spent most of their
history in the lower reaches of the Football League, the 1990s were
notably successful, with the club competing in the First Division for
five seasons. Instability on and off the pitch led to Stockport quickly
tumbling back down the leagues, narrowly avoiding a drop into the
Football Conference in 2006. In 2008, the team won promotion via the
playoffs back to League One.
