I'm still undecided whether to go on Tuesday as it's only a tenner. I work most Saturday's now so I have a convenient excuse not to go however back in the good old days I would have booked holidays/changed shifts/rang in sick if County were playing! I don't even listen to the radio, just come on the internet to get the result. And while the Everton game at home was a cracker, I thought the 1st game was the best. I remember Match of the Day asking Joe Royle how he felt after the game......'I'm over the moon' he said, 'I'm delighted that we are still in the cup!' Dreadful defending for their first. Great move for our second?

I was born in Withington, lived in Davenport till I was about 8 before moving to posho land in Surrey. I then lived in Birmingham for 3 years before moving back to posho land. But now my mum has bought a flat in Stockport less than a mile from EP. I am very confused!!!! And on another note I'm glad StockportOwl has mentioned Scarborough as it's a scenario I've thought of a lot over the last few months.

Tanzania, or Marple in Stockport probably Any reason why you felt the need to emphasise that you're not from Marple, Bramhall or Cheadle Hulme? I don't. Just that like I said these are places where from experience there is a certain class of person who likes to pretend they're not from Stockport. Unlike someone from say Adswood, Brinnington or Edgeley - who wouldn't be so daft.

That could be the name of the phoenix club (if needed) Proper Stockport County. Then that certain class of people could all support Stockport Town. Problem solved, crisis averted.

Bramhall and Cheadle Hulme both border Adswood and as a scruffy Adswood urchin I spent half my childhood playing on Bramhall Park, you can actually walk from Hillgate to Bramhall in 10 minutes so I've always considered it very much part of Stockport. County won't go under by the way.

County won't go under by the way. This thread was created as there were some posters worried that Stockport Town would take supporters away from County. The result of the survey is: 82.5% would help build a phoenix club. 17.5% would give up on football altogether. Nobody would support Stockport Town or any other local team.

It's good that there is a poll to back it up but anyone remotely clued up knew it anyway.
Apart from those setting the club up, it seems.
Unless of course it's all innocent and the timing and link to SCFC is coincidental.

Unless of course it's all innocent and the timing and link to SCFC is coincidental. Never underestimate the stupidity of owners, or would-be owners, of football clubs. Remember ManStock? That would have been utterly insane, even if Jolley hadn't been told so by a group of fans. Which he was. And still went ahead with a decision that ended up costing him his job. And Elwood went along with it - genuinely believing that moving County to Moss Side was a goer. Compared to that jaw-dropping level of olympic-gold-medal-winning-standard f*ckwittery, creating a new club in a place where the existing major club is in serious financial trouble probably doesn't seems all that mad to the Mad Jack McMads behind it.

I did live more towards that end of Adswood though. My friend lived at the Adswood tip end and claimed to live in 'Higher Cheadle Hulme'. Anyway, I'm from Cheadle Hulme, and like it or not I happily say I'm from Stockport, Cheshire If asked.

Imposter, ]Having grown up in a 'Cheshire town' as you call it I think you are way off the mark.

I don't know if i'd bother going to see a phoenix club. It already feels like i'm not watching a 'real' version of county. Sure, i'd probably follow the results as i'd be left without a team but going to matches and actively supporting a team in the North West Counties, nah. My expectations have dropped significantly in that before it was unthinkable that we were a non league team, whereas right now i'd settle for being a full time, reasonable team in the conference for a couple of seasons. I couldn't stomach the North West Counties though, this league is shambolic enough.
