Celtic invaded Manchester after the Manchester bombing in 1996 and celebrated near the Arndale.
Rangers trashed the city after their game vs St Petersberg.
I just hate both clubs and don't want any sectarian nonsense attached to County.

Agree completely. Rangers are proper scruffs. Embarassing that some latch on to them. Celtic are no better.
Champion scruffs! Arsed.

You don't need to be. Just pointing it out.

There is a strong historical connection I assume dating back to fact the club was founded by Protestants. I've no idea when the Sash / Scarf was first sung. 60's? There are a couple of flags from Belfast you see at games which show loyalist connections. I suspect the links in 2021 are somewhat minimal but you only have to remember how often "When I was young" was sung in the 90's by a certain section.. Weirdly I do follow Rangers as my second team. I think a few do. Not sure if that is some subconscious thing because I couldn't give less of a sh*t about the religious connotations if I tried. Correct me if I’m wrong but “The Scarf” was never heard at County in the 90s. I went home and away during that decade and never heard it until years later. Was it around back in the day and then took a long break?

William of Orange being a foreigner who invaded Britain and deposed our King, an odd choice of hero for those of right wing learnings Religion x nationalism = weird squared It wasn't an invasion.....

There seem to be a lot of dots being joined up here without any of you seemingly having a clue what you're talking about.
What has being right wing got to do with the Protestant faith?
Some of the comments on here are offensive and wide of the mark, prompting me to rejoin the board for the first time since it moved!

It wasn't an invasion..... No? Check your history, it was called the Glorious Revolution or the Bloodless Revolution for a reason..... The battles came later...

A foreign King and his army landed in Britain, does there need to be a battle for it to be an 'invasion'?

Also those asserting that Methodists have nothing to do with loyalism should really tell themselves off for being a bit silly...
As should those claiming that people are sectarian just because they're from Belfast, suggesting that Rangers fans are bigots and ignoring the fact that Stockport County's support has included a large contingent of Rangers fans since the late 60's at least...obvious really with workers from all over adopting us as their local club...

Semantics?....supported by a significant portion of the population and those in power....he was greeted as a hero throughout the North of England including in Stockport where one of the very first Orange Lodges was founded in his honour....and supported by the methodist faith, the Orange Order being a temperance movement amongst other things (just to burst that other bubble!).....

Literally no one has said that everyone from Belfast is sectarian, or that all Rangers fans are bigots.

I dont think it was the glory year though.
