Kompany involved in consortium to buy Stockport County?

i think its stockport council. there were rumors that sale sharks were trying to move back in though.
True & true.
Stockport is in Cheshire, but pays rates to Manchester, which is the same for any village in Stockport, so Hazel Grove, High Lane, Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall etc pay rates to Manchester, whereas Disley & Poynton (plus anywhere else heading towards Macc from Poynton) pay their’s to East Cheshire Council. Postal address is Cheshire, Rates is Manchester.

What???
Stockport pay rates to Stockport council.
Disley is in the High Peaks and (I think) pay rates to Derbyshire.
 
Owning and running a football club is like flushing money down the toilet not many football clubs make a profit.
This. Alan Sugar said he never understood why he bought Tottenham. You buy a football club not to make money but if you want to be involved in something greater. It's an alternative to gambling fortune away in Vegas.
 
Stockport's in Cheshire:-)
No it isn't.

The historic boundary between Lancashire and Cheshire is the River Mersey which goes right through the middle of Stockport's town centre. So only part of Stockport was ever in Cheshire.
 
it used to be a great windup for the dippers to be able to say that Stockport County were "the real Merseyside team" being the closest to the river. It's a bit harder to justify though now they aren't actually a league team any more.
 
Yeah, my sister lives in New Mills, which has an SK22 postcode and is in Derbyshire.
The confusion over which county Stockport is in is the fault of the Post Office , they never recognised Gtr Manchester as a county . But Stockport is one of the ten local authorities in Gtr Manchester . Also Disley is in Cheshire , with the border for Derbyshire just a bit ferver up the A6, at the turning for New Mills
 
How do you make a small fortune in football?

Start with a large one, and buy a club.

Partisan Mancunian bickering aside, there’s something pretty neat about owning a “small club” IMO, at least to Americans. Over here, if one bought a minor league baseball or hockey team, it could only ever stay small, since we don’t have pro/rel. There’s a romance in achieving something with a club over there, and there’re always cups to chase where you can go toe-to-toe with giants every year.

If true, I think it’s great as long as he’s prudent and well-protected financially with great partners. A club could do worse than have a remarkably bright, altruistic football legend who is a true gentleman as a part-owner.

But historically stockport was a town on the south bank of the river, the northside was part of the township of manchester in the salford hundred in Lancashire. it wasn't till the 20th century that reddish was amalgamated and so stocky was expanded more north.

Stayleybridge is similar thet the tame flows through it's center but traditionally if was on the cheshire side of the tame
