Would that be Jesus of proper Nazareth? It's got a certain ring to it. No-one would've messed with him then. |

Like in your example they'll still be wrong. You'll find plenty of say they come from a Cheshire town near Stockport though. Are they wrong though? You can change borders but you can't change where you're from. Yes if they say they come from a Cheshire town near Stockport and they are referring to Marple or Cheadle Hulme then yes they're wrong. Marple and Cheadle Hulme are in Stockport - not near Stockport. |

Thanks, it's given the impression that this board is busy over the last five days. Got anything worthwhile to contribute? |

Unless they're over 40. Then by your logic any Tanzanian centenarians are actually from German East Africa and anybody over the age of 25 in Ukraine is actually from the USSR. |

Probably sack having a team I support. I'd go to the odd game at grounds I haven't visited but I wouldn't really support anyone. My divorce from County has already happened anyway, I've probably only been to 12 games in nearly four years, so it wouldn't be as big a loss for me as it would for those who still go. Probably this for me, not bother with one team but just go to the odd game here and there. |

I'd probably do A and C. The phoenix club would get my backing but I'd struggle to make more than one game a season. It's hard enough that since relegation my nearest ground in County's division is 110 miles away. Getting back to the thread title, I'd be similar to Canterbury although my 100 miles away is from EP. I can't imagine ever having the connection with another team that I had with County and I watched Liverpool until I was in my early thirties. Watching County from 1988 on has been much more personal than any football before then. Also, definitely not born in Stockport but certainly Cheshire and not the posh areas. Don't forget tomorrow  |

Hello Vicar, I hope you're right mate - I hope someone can rescue County and rebuild. As you say, 3000 fans in the sixth tier - that's something even the so-called big clubs would struggle to get if they fell to that level. I don't think any breakaway Stockport club will pick up those fans either. I look at what's happened with Rotherham United and Doncaster Rovers in the past decade or so and could see it happening at County. Rotherham were homeless and now have a great stadium - and more importantly, they're a strong League One side. Doncaster even had their chairman burn down their old stadium before their move to their current home - and again, have seen a big upturn in their on-the-pitch fortunes having been a constant bottom of the fourth tier club. And both towns have big contingents of supporters of Leeds, the Sheffield clubs etc. It annoys me that Stockport council can't / won't step in and resolve the stadium issue somehow. It seems they have money to regenerate the station and shopping areas - why can't they build County into their regeneration plans somehow? Having a league club playing every other Saturday is surely going to bring money to the area as well as prestige. Going back to Wednesday, yes we can have a great atmosphere at times - particularly on away days. I was buzzing when I saw the friendly / testimonial announced last summer. The two clubs have also shared quite a few players and coaching staff over the years... Let me know when you're attending EP Owly, I'll buy you a pint and bore you with stories of our Hillsborough trips. |
