March 14, 20251 yr Of course it’s a derby. A rivalry. Slightly different dynamic in the eye of the beholder. I don’t particularly like them but never look out for their results outside of when it impacts us. In my time we’ve been pretty shit against them. They do smack of second team type losers which is beneath me for any real disdain. I don’t know any Stockport fans.

For a while now they've always had decent crowds at whatever level they're at Know of a couple who are lifelong hard core, and reckon the majority of those that go every week are Stockport only But plenty locals who support city or utd will root for Stockport as well Like My other halves cousin is from Stockport but always watched utd and got corporate season tickets and takes his lads His son got mates at school who are county and he wants to go watching them with his mates, so he bought county season tickets and they go when utd aren't playing the same day
March 14, 20251 yr according to ticket office tweet " Block H is open for home supporters but it's already full in there "

Often used to get decent crowds for the level they were at

One of the clubs we work with. They openly admit they have 3 tiers of fans die hards-call em Cheadle Enders. Lapsed mancs from both clubs as a cheap football day out School kids for the next generation.

Only way to survive in this area is to have a net that catches the ones that fall out of the big clubs' trees

They don't open some blocks until others have been sold out With a gate of 24,000 there are still almost 5000 empty seats around the stadium. Many that can be used in other areas than the South Lower

Many that can be used in other areas than the South Lower At Brum game it was a strange one, West Upper, where I am, was packed, just odd seats dotted about, yet looking across to East Upper it was nearly half empty. Everyone who bought walk-ups seemed to want the same place
