This is great news, my father in law has watched county for over 70 years and is still a season ticket holder along with my brother in law. They go week in week out still, and throughout the 80’s onwards I used to stand on a Friday night and watch them followed by city on the Saturday. I only wish city would invest in them as a local club, loaning out players to them to blood them. Times have changed and that will never now happen and I do recall our games against them when let’s say we were often outplayed! Hopefully, given the crowds they get still, they can now start to rise back up to the main league where they do belong.
I've heard(if true) Foden is from an estate called Adswood, arguably the roughest estate in Stockport.As long as they’re not from the dreadful parts, then yes.
I don't if it's true about where Phil is from, but I can confirm Adswood used to be as rough as a Bears arse in the 70's when I worked as a dog handler for a security firm on a site nearby. Even my Alsation was scared to get out of the van near Adswood !I've heard(if true) Foden is from an estate called Adswood, arguably the roughest estate in Stockport.
My mate was a debt collector there. He was greeted with "fuck off" more often than "good morning".I don't if it's true about where Phil is from, but I can confirm Adswood used to be as rough as a Bears arse in the 70's when I worked as a dog handler for a security firm on a site nearby.

Phi is a great talent watched him from a young age , what's it matter where He's fromI've heard(if true) Foden is from an estate called Adswood, arguably the roughest estate in Stockport.
It doesn't matter. I was quoting GDM as it happens.Phi is a great talent watched him from a young age , what's it matter where He's from
In the aftermath of the Sale Sharks/Kennedy era, I'm pretty sure Stockport Council became involved to the extent where some kind of covenant was placed on the site to protect it from property speculation.Do you know if he got the ground as well. That is the big issue for them, no one is going to put serious money in while the ownership of the ground is outside of the club.
Have you ever been to Brinnington?I've heard(if true) Foden is from an estate called Adswood, arguably the roughest estate in Stockport.
Have you ever been to Brinnington?
Brinny is truely dreadful and sub-Shameless, a law unto itself...shire horses wandering the streets and in and out of peoples' houses.
I thought Phil was from Cheadle Heath, which whilst not to be confused with la di dah Cheadle Hulme, is certainly a step up from Adwood.
Phil is from Bridge Hall Stockport district next to Adswood

He’s a county fan. Hopefully the investment makes them more financially secure
Still get really good crowds.
council own it.
He's been bankrupted before fleeing dubai in one instance
He has never been bankrupt. He had a bar when he was in his mid 29’s that went bust in Wilmslow. But that’s as close as he’s come.
The crash in DUBAI hit him hard, but they ne we went under and lead to him diversifying into other countries. Turns out, Manchester was the most profitable of all!
I was homeless there in the 80's....Brindale house.............shit hole.Have you ever been to Brinnington?
I had black cabs in Stockport in the 70s/80s, Bridgehall (Adswood) and Gorsey Bank (Cheadle Heath) were by far the worst areas of the town back then, both estates had only one way in and out and both were places you didn't venture into without having your wits about you.
Gorsey Bank has since been redeveloped into a business park, not sure if Bridgehall is still residential.
