I guess the simplest explanation is - those areas that were part of the County Borough/Town of Stockport as opposed to those that joined in when it became a Metropolitan Borough. For what it's worth I personally think everything in the Borough is Stockport but there are plenty of people in places like Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall, Marple who play down that, and talk of themselves as separate towns in Cheshire - or of being near Stockport or near Manchester - as opposed to being in or part of Stockport. This is a dividing up of Stockport that I was unaware of. Can you list the areas of "not proper Stockport" please? I think you're being facetious here. Either that or you've never met the type who will be keen to say "we're from Bramhall in Cheshire", or "Cheadle Hulme, near Manchester" or "Marple, a small town in Cheshire" etc... as opposed to "Heaton Norris in Stockport" or "Adswood, Stockport". etc... Like I'm saying for the third time I BELIEVE THAT ALL PARTS OF STOCKPORT METROPOLITAN BOROUGH ARE PROPER STOCKPORT - I'm talking about OTHER PEOPLE who will disclaim this.

If county went under and no new team was set up to replace them in the league I would probably support new mills or buxton.

I'm from Cheadle Hulme, born in Stepping hill. I class myself as being from Cheshire and from Stockport. Does that make me a proper Stopfordian or not? I'm confused now :-) I'm from Cheadle Hulme but unfortunately born in Wythenshawe. I might as well go pack my bags to support Man City if County go under as I've failed the Stockport test.

Like I'm saying for the third time I BELIEVE THAT ALL PARTS OF STOCKPORT METROPOLITAN BOROUGH ARE PROPER STOCKPORT - I'm talking about OTHER PEOPLE who will disclaim this. Where do these "OTHER PEOPLE" live? Can you do a list for me? 1) I've given you an explanation based on the town of Stockport V The Borough of Stockport. Heaton Hatter. 2) For the nine hundred and ninety nine thousand million billionth time this idea of parts of Stockport not being proper Stockport is not one I adhere to - but there are plenty of people in those areas who do. And what's more I'm NOT talking about EVERY single person who lives in those areas - just some. In the same way some people will say their from Manchester when they mean Stockport - there's a certain class of people who will say they're from Cheadle Hulme in Cheshire for example, rather than just saying they are from Stockport. For yourself or anyone else getting precious about having "failed the Stockport test" needs to a) Actually read what I've posted and b) stop being obtuse.

County will never go under and Cheadle Hulme is definitely in Stockport.

Those are fair answers Suedehead, and probably sums up where I'm at in a way. Sometimes I only turn up out of a sense of duty. And also a sense in a town of citeh, yoonited, fc yoonited, and sale fans, some of whom quite like our demise, of not wanting to give assorted b*stards the pleasure of me giving in and giving up. I guess perhaps living in London for that time, and also never having actually lived in Stockport made it easier and more able for you to slip away from it. I live in Stockport, proper Stockport - not one of those places that can pretend it's a Cheshire town near Stockport (like Bramhall or Cheadle Hulme) and never moved away - if I did I would quite possibly be like you are. But like Vicar says those days will be back. Please just make it soon. Are you for real?

I don't see a future for a Phoenix club. I don't see those fans who don't want to watch football at this level turning out to support a Phoenix club at an even lower level.
Not convinced that we could get decent funds to make a push up the leagues either. It wouldn't happen at EP.
If we had money or ways of raising money we would have been well on the way to getting EP back.
Sorry but all IMHO.

And just to make it clear for you, as you need things spelling out, that's sarcasm.

New South Wales Queensland Western Australia South Australia Victoria Northern Territory Tasmania Australian Capital Territory South Island New Zealand North Island New Zealand Melbourne Sydney Brisbane Perth Adelaide Hobart Darwin Canberra Auckland Christchurch Wellington Canterbury (NZ) Australia New Zealand Thanks mate. I like the idea of a 'Proper' Stockport Test. 1. Is the number after SK in your postcode: a) 4 or lower? b) Higher than 4? 2. Is your street lined with: a) Trees? b) Dog shit? 3. Do you have a back: a) Garden? b) Yard? 4. What is essential to take on the beach: a) Bucket and spade? b) The Range Rover? 5. Where do you mess about with your boat? a) In the bath. b) Abersoch. 6. Do you: a) Keep your car locked up in the 'gararge'? b) Keep all your crap in the 'garridge'? 7. What were you wearing the last time you were on the golf course? a) Plus fours. b) A condom. Feel free to add your own...
