All Things Stockport County

Danny Bergara Stand Today. Winning 3 games inside 7 days proved a bridge too far for County, who were held to a 1-1 draw for the second time this season by a lively Workington side looking to improve their recent dismal league form at Edgeley Park. In the main they did this, claiming the point and looking the better side for much of the game. County stuck at it however, and came more into the game the later it got, but in the end, despite another terrific performance from Scott Duxbury ( deservedly M.O.M), and solid displays by the impressive Cowen , Jacobs, and to a lesser extent Fagbola    - a draw it was .That was not a bad result all things considered, although it probably would have been altogether better had not injury forced striker Rhys Turner to be substituted after less than 10 minutes!    Rhys Turner The injury resulted from an unpunished foul in the box by Workington, and without the ex Myerscough College lad`s pace County were always struggling.

Stockport County can add another date to the fulsome list of historic moments for the Club......Saturday 21 st December 2013- the day when County supporters united and took to the streets of the Borough to save their beloved Club.
