Stockport County Announce HUGE Stadium Expansion! 

Hi, I have been a county fan for over 65 years (I'm 80 now) the change in the last few years is wonderful thanks to Mr Stott and his team. Hope I'm still around to see the dream come true Amino et fide always

As an Australian tourist who has attended many British football games, I went to a Stockport game in NL North in 2018. I took a photo with a player and one member of staff. I have enjoyed their rise since then. It will be nice if I can get back in the coming years and see the new stand.

That looks a nice little ground seems like Stockport are moving in the right direction hopefully you will be back in the championship in a few seasons everyone is banging on about Wrexham being a Hollywood story but I think yours deserves praise from coming from the national north to league one in such a sort space of time.

More than the stadium itself County is a lovely, friendly club, and they also play good football. I’ve seen the planned redevelopment and wish everyone connected with the club every success.

My club Ipswich Town committed to rebuilding two of our stands when we were last in the Prem. Then the ITV deal fell through and almost finished the club off. We've had twenty odd years in the doldrums and have only just managed to get back up again, partly through the sale of the club and massive investment. This time, even though there's a recognition that more capacity is needed, the emphasis is on player recruitment, development, coaching and improvements to the training ground. Wish you luck with your ambition but don't put the horse before the cart.

Looking good Stockport. See you soon enough.🤝

Posh supporter here, with a soft spot for County since our Wembley play-off win in 1992. Well done for coming back from the National League North (where Peterborough Sports now play) and for your Stadium aspirations. Enjoy the League One season ahead.

All the best from a Tottenham fan 🥳👏🏻

As a Brighton fan I love to see clubs come back from the brink and become a better club than they were. I used to go to the goldstone as kid and withdean during my late teens and 20s both them stadiums capacities combined is over 10000 seats short of the Amex (goldstone 12000 when it closed, withdean 8500 and the Amex 31800!!) and now it still feels like I support a different team as we now are going into our season and here is our league Positions 15th,17th,15th,16th,9th,6th,11th. During this time we have played in 2 FA cup semi finals and we got into the europa league finished top of the group of death which was as follows Ajax Marseille and AEK Athens. We drew Roma in the 2nd round and lost 4-0 away but we beat them 1-0 at Amex. So dream big as I never thought we would get into the premier league and stay for at least 8 8 years and 2 semi finals and a place in Europe. I like the capacity of the ground as it’s ambitious but not too big as no disrespect but you are competing in a area with at least 8 teams around you within 30 miles but if you get into the championship you will regularly sell 15000 attendances and would fill it comfortably in the premier league. There is nothing worse than seeing a stadium in the premier league half filled if you had a 35000 all seater stadium but if you were to make it to the premier league and you stay there for say 3 seasons and there is a long wait for season tickets the corners can be filled which would easily add 5000 to the capacity which would see the capacity rise to a respectable 23500. But for the time being 18500 would be amazing and will set you up is perfect for the championship and even if you did make it to the premier league this stadium would be bigger than both Brentford (17500 and Bournemouth 12250) good luck and see you in the premier league soon 😊😊

Congratulations Stockport….look forward to watching many Wrexham vs Stockport Matches in their rebuilt Stadiums from here in the states

GREAT STUFF WHERE THEY WERE PART TIME IN CON NORTH TO COME BACK IS INCREDIBLE ONWARDS AND UPWARDS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK .

Iv followed stockport since I was a kid. (58 now) and would love to see county in the prem. Its been a hard few years lately but now in the 1st div it's onwards and upwards. Come on County..

Love the fact they are keeping the old brick facade. I hope my club Oldham have a similar plan to keep the old facade on the Main stand if and when they develop it at Boundary park.

Hope my club has the same intent to improve their ground .Barnsley seously needs to.make their grove street stand up to modern day standards. Good luck with the ground improvement. Where the supporters come first

Looks Good, from a well wishing Tranmere Rovers Supporter.

Hope it goes well for Stockport County, all the best to them.

A proper British football stadium!!! Modern and with all the British football stadium features!!!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤🇬🇧⚽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

hope you have fan base to fill it smart when finished,good luck season ahead,we struggled as you seen big time.carlisle fan

In 1937 the hardcastle road stand burnt down but the club survived and built the stand we have today.

Nice video. Exciting times. Cautiously optimistic this doesn’t all blow up! The fan base has grown significantly in recent years with great work being done in the community and schools to attract the next generation and offer an alternative to the increasing santitisation of the Premier League match day experience near by.

Great news and great to see them on the up again,best of luck,toon fan

As a Brentford fan I can testify that miracles do happen. Good luck Stockport!

Good luck Stockport,an Great colours from a scouse evertonian

Considering one of the goals is "Make Edgeley Park more environmentally friendly and sustainable" I'm surprised none of the new development has incorporated solar on the roof.

Looking a far cry from the early seventies when I used to most Friday nights to watch and then stay at my uncles pub at the the end of merseyway .

Nice ,good luck stockport

They will be expanding the stadium bit at a time, open top end and the Danny bergara stand, to 18000, progress, on and off the pitch

When Stockport fell out of the league,I thought that would lead to their demise. With city and utd nearby it's amazing the have fought back so well. And as a town to have 2 of England's rising stars from there things are looking good.

Looks like a major step forward but I’m always wary of phased development of grounds. They rarely get completed.

Looks great, my only misgiving is going from the plans to actually starting it ? My teams succesive owners have promised great plans n its never happened !!! Over 20k season ticket holders, waiting list closed due to having too many waiting n only holds 37.5k. Weve said for years we need at least 50k n great improvements !!!

At the moment this seems a bit of a pipe dream but I hope this does come into fruition

Getting prepared for when pep leaves city .

yea need more away fans in

Decent but how about a terrace with a roof

Need to sort parking for away support ,nightmare at present best of luck for future wfc supporter

That is abit big do they have the support

always thought it strange they wernt called stockport town , cos wheni thimk of the county i rightly or wrongly think lanchashire and manchester

It was half empty anyway . So why expand it.

Good luck Stockport from your noisy neighbour City.

the real man city

18/19 thousand is far too big for them and it’s highly likely that the cost of the redevelopment could realistically ruin them.
