Although I do recall their fans singing 'Football League and you f*cked it up' at us in a National League game at EP. Obviously there was only one acceptable response from us: 'Football League and you f*cked it up'. Their more senior fans acknowledged it with good grace.

More recently, someone on their forum compared Stockport to Skid Row. They do seem to have a lot of glass houses up there Edit: to clarify, nobody mentioned Skid Row, but it was basically the gist of their description

Perhaps it was a compliment. Like Tories repeatedly saying Labour will take us back to Square One. Yes f*cking please.

Cheeky bleeders.

Cheeky bleeders. I'm not really one for dumping on other people's towns (unless it's Stoke or Burnley) but the number of sets of fans who tell us Stockport's a shithole is quite remarkable. They must live in a very different Grimsby, Gillingham, Crewe, Hartlepool, etc. to the one I've been to...

I generally don't mind that kind of thing as much as I did the non-league sides from the stockbroker belt singing about paying 'our' benefits Especially Aldershot. Now that's a shithole

I mean, it’s the centre of the universe football wise but doesn’t really represent the wider Stockport borough.

Now that's a shithole Yeah, that's more annoying, I agree. I've had more than one 'discussion' across the netting about the socio-economic differences between Stockport and some anonymous southern sub-area. Which is precisely why I got into football in the first place...

Or the variation of this where (usually) southern teams sing at (usually) northern teams that ‘We’re paying your benefits’; MK did this at EP during their 0-5 rout last season, and I had good fun pointing out to some Dons supporters that it was actually the other way round as Stockport’s unemployment rate was 3.2% compared to Milton Keynes rate of 3.7%.

Football fans including ours are doing my head in more and more as I get older.
