BRIEF HISTORY of the STOCKPORT COUNTY FOOTBALL CLUB
(reproduced from 'Wikipedia' pages)
Stockport County Football Club is a semi-professional football club in Stockport, Greater Manchester,
England. Formed in 1883 as Heaton Norris Rovers, the team adopted their name in 1890 after the County
Borough of Stockport. They have played at Edgeley Park since 1902, traditionally in blue and white,
and are nicknamed "The Hatters" after the town's former hat-making industry. Stockport County joined
the Football League in 1900 and competed in it continuously from 1905 to 2011. The team spent most of
their history in the lower reaches of the Football League, but the 1990s were more successful with the
club competing in the First Division for five seasons; however, instability on and off the pitch
eventually led to Stockport falling back to the lower divisions. They are currently the longest
surviving Football League team to drop out of the league, having played in the league for a total
of 110 years. The club started the 2011–12 season in the Conference National, having been relegated
from Football League Two at the end of 2010–11. At the end of 2012–13, Stockport were relegated to
the Conference North.
