Well lads I thought I would introduce myself as I suppose some of you are wondering how and why is an Irishman supporting Stockport county.
I was born in Stockport but moved to Ireland as a child as my mam's Irish,my dad's Stockport through and through and would take me to watch county every home game for a few seasons.
My fondest memories of watching county is the 1989/90 season when we made the playoffs under Danny Bergara only to get stuffed by Chesterfield 4 nil away and I think 2 nil at home,I was at both games and I roared crying on the way home lol..
I moved to Ireland in 1990 and county actually started doing well then ! Even friends over here started to look out for county's results..even if I meet past friends they always ask me how's county doing.
Fingers crossed for this season,it's in our own hands now!

Great to have you on board, mate! I was at those Chesterfield games myself, mate, and you are correct on both scorelines. The only highlight of the second leg was when, during the pre-match warm-up, someone leathered a ball straight into the back of the head of a Chesterfield photographer! It's childish, I know, but it cracked me up at the time!  |

One thing I remember from back then was whoever the away team was at half time they would walk around the pitch with what looked like a bedspread and county fans would throw loose change and copper's in it..it was like missiles flying down over your head !! |
