Stockport County is on a mission to climb back up the football ladder, and they’re making sure everyone takes notice. Battling alongside celebrity-owned giants like Birmingham City (Tom Brady) and Wrexham (Ryan Reynolds), County is pushing for a second straight promotion to reach the EFL Championship.
Once teetering on the edge of oblivion, Stockport’s rise is a story of resilience. Just a few years ago, they were stuck in National League North, struggling financially. Now, they’re fighting for a spot in the second tier of English football a level they last played at in the late ’90s when they nearly secured a shot at the Premier League.
With Wrexham as their biggest obstacle, Stockport faces a crucial matchup this weekend. A win against the Hollywood-backed Welsh side could close the gap to just three points and give them a serious boost in the promotion race.
They might not have the star power or budget of their rivals, but Stockport has history, grit, and a town rallying behind them. Could they complete their fairytale return to the Championship? The final stretch of the season will decide.
