The Fall & Future Rise of Stockport County 

As a Stockport county fan who’s been there through it all...I can safely say we are on our way back, a league title, a takeover and no more debts, my club will rise again!!

"Stockport Away" is a day that we Palace fans will never forget! Hope you get back to where you belong soon.

The death of Hereford United and the rise and stall of the phoenix club would be interesting.

Stockport County - Champions of the National League North 18/19!

Quite a soothing voice Pleasant narration & Quality content

I cried when County got relegated to Conference North, but brighter days are ahead. Great video!

Love how county are now slowly moving up to almost league 2 in the last 2 seasons. GO ON COUNTY GO ON COUNTY

Being a Palace fan, there was that famous day in 2001 when we needed to win to stay up.. Good luck to them, famous old club

Stockport County is closer to the Mersey than Liverpool or Everton.

.....and just like that..... We have risen again!! Football League. Long time no see. How you been?

Champions and back in League One, what a time to be a County fan!

I've said twice might need a part two now it just does tifo get on it we deserve it

They're finally back in the professional Football League 🥳👏👏

Doesn’t seem that long ago that Stockport nearly got into the championship playoffs! Always a bogey side for my team Birmingham

Really need to do a update

best fans in theworld many stood by through thick and thjin and singing "The scarf my father wore"x

As a massive Stockport fan it was so sad to watch my club go down like this through administration considering we had done well in League One. It went from bad to worse with terrible owners who didn't know how to run a football club. Now we are on our way back, hopefully with the National League North trophy being the first bit of silverware in many years.

Do I smell *Future Career Mode*

I was playing FM and just started a a new game and was offered to start as manager for the club for which I knew nothing of and I pulled up the history page and seen they were a Champion League tier club that somehow fell to Amateur Regional North status within a decade. I was so curious WTF happened that such a rapid decline could take place in such a short span of time, thanks for the information to why the club flat lined.

What a great story, thank you Tifo for this interesting video. I love underdog stories like this, I wish all the best for Stockport!!

We need a update aftetr this season please Tifo

They just need Second yellow card

From all the subscribe notifications i had, you were the 1st to hit. Always great job! Thanks!

Love coming back to watch this. Especially with our recent success.

Amazing video once again! Love hearing these kind of underdog sporting stories

I'd love a video on Plymouth Argyle! 2 titles in 3 seasons in the early 2000s, close-ish to getting promoted to the Premier League (Plymouth being the largest English city to have never been in the top flight). Mis-managed off the pitch and pinning financial hopes on England winning the 2018 World Cup bid meant relegation, administration and clinging on by the skin of their teeth to the football league. Now slowly climbing the leagues again and a new grandstand on the way (promised in the early 2000s heyday).

got a softspot for stockport

can I ask you to make a video of the latest club that City football group bought? and why they want a 3rd tier Chinese club instead of investing in the one that already in the 1st tier?

amazing video, thanks tifo

Always my FM club💙

Got them to the championship on football manager, it’s all good

Great video! Thanks guys. :) PS. Get Second Yellow Card on the board of directors!

I like these type of videos. I'd like to see one on Coventry City (they're in dire trouble)! Also, remember when the hand used to get in the way when they did the tactics videos as uMAXit?

Great video, hopefully Stockport can at least get back to the National League soon. It's another sad tale of a lower league team ruined by ownership who were a combination of incompetent and corrupt, the most egregious I can think of in English football was Chester City but there have been plenty of others.

Great video!

It would be cool to see you guys do a video like this about Brighton and Hove Albion. We've had a very interesting history in the last 30 or 40 years, to say the least. From nearly beating Man United in the FA Cup final in '83. to the mid-late 90's when we lost our home ground, nearly got relegated from the football league and almost went out of business, Our fans used the early internet to spread word of our plight and to organize a 'Fans United Day' where fans from all across the world turned up to fill our stadium for a match (tons of Palace fans (our rivals) also turned up to support us too) Being exiled to Gillingham for 2 years Returning home to Brighton to play (for 10 years) in a converted athletics stadium (the Withdean) that was, frankly, barely fit to host even non-league games, The long drawn out battle we had with the government to greenlight Falmer stadium and the friendly 'harassment' campaign we launched against John Prescott (where we were REALLY REALLY nice to him to get him to say yes lol) To where we are now in the Tony Bloom era. Premier League football, a stunning brand new 30,000 seat stadium, training facilities that (apparently) rival Man City's, and spending tens of millions of pounds on players, all while keeping that strong bond with the fans and the community alive.... It's been a hell of a ride and a massive transformation. Over the years the club have pretty much adopted one of (Brighton fan) Fatboy Slims lyrics - "We've come a long, long way together" It's very apt. Fatboy Slim also played a big hand in keeping the club alive during the rough Withdean years, sponsoring us through his record label (yes, we literally had Skint written on our shirts when we were literally skint lol) Hell, one of our fans once won a Coca-Cola competition to win £250,000 for your club to sign a player with, and at the time it was huge amount of money for us! (we bought Colin Kazim-Richards (The Coca-Cola Kid) with the money. Didn't go well lol) All that is just scratching the surface though lol. There is so much more to all these stories. I reckon you'd enjoy piecing it all together!

and RISE we have. Mark Stott and everyone at County have worked miracles over the last few seasons. I'd enjoyed seeing you produce a follow-up to this video in a few years when we are back in the Championship.

Going to be interesting as always

So this might need a part two

My local team! I watch matched at Edgely park regularly and I'm watching them against Spennymoor today. We're gonna win the league

My local team hope they can get up to league 2

Great watching this now. We are back!

Video on present Chelsea transfer ban

you making this vid about my club nearly brought a tear to my eye. we're a massive club with one of the best fanbases in the country but been constantly fucked over by shite owners. we'll be back and better than ever with the help of gannon

Thank you so much for the video - loved the hatters my whole life and was gutted to see the decline of the club, especially after seeing them at Wembley only a few years previous

Damn this sucks it’s really lame how top flight football is killing the lower leagues

I think you should make a video about the "Maracanazo", Uruguay´s surprising World Cup triumph in 1950, against local favourites, Brazil. Also, at that time the finals was a group stage, but the final game Brazil-Uruguay decided the group (and the champion) so it was kind of a final. It is one of the most emotional moments in south american sports, and I think with your storytelling, it would be brilliant!

Should make a video on the story of Darlington FC. It is certainly interesting and an example of a trilogy of three bad owners.

Always had a soft spot for Stockport County, always said if I was ever to move to the Manchester area that Stockport would be the team that I would go and watch.

I live just down the road from edgly park. It’s in a place called heaton moor. We’re all big county fans today

Ian Dowie’s own goal for West Ham in their defeat at Edgeley Park in the league cup in the late 90s is a video worth searching for on here... 😏

Leading FM save...

We're on our way back up!

This might need a follow up

I hope they do get back Funny enough their cup run to the second round proper could have been cut short. In the preliminary rounds, they faced South Shields who are a league below them and went 1-0 down, but 2 late goals turned round the tie and County went through. As much as I am a South Shields fan, it's amazing how great stories can be influenced one great moment

Get in lads. My local club ✊

Would love to see a video on Bury UTS!!!

Nice; an idea for FM2019!

Living next door to 2 of the wealthiest, most self indulgent football clubs in the world has never helped either. County (blessed be their name) have like most of the "bread &butter" clubs suffered from the Prem syndrome. That is inflicting imported players of dubious quality (Pogba & the like) upon the long suffering & sadly more pliant by generation fans.These players have leached both the cash & opportunities from local talent. There are far better players playing Sunday League football in that Manchester than turn out most days for both their clubs. When this cash based, short sighted approach finally ends, we may, just may see another George Best. Despite all of which, County WILL rise again.

You called it , they’ve been promoted 2 times in 3 years years

Tifo should do a look back now. Things are somewhat rosier!

Welcome back to the EFL, Stockport

Look at us now 🤩🥲

champions of league two now league one next season owner has big plans to get them into the championship within the not so distant future.. can they achieve it? do they want to be a championship club.. ? clubs in championship spend a load of money chasing the dream of getting to prem league.. is being a mid-table/relegation battling side in the championship better than the 3 league title wins county have had over the past few years..

Doesn’t help when most of their fans jump ship to city
