It's because in 1890 they changed their name to reflect the newly formed County Borough of Stockport http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Stockport_County_F.C.#section_1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2tups Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I've always been proud of the County bit, including the Free republics of Uttoxeter and Marmite Burton. And just wish Derbyshire CC Education service would introduce some core values along the lines of 'if you live near Chesterfield it's encouraged to go see them. And if not all roads lead to PP.'

Belper Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 What annoys me is when the players come out it the away team and Derby County although it is our name, last season you would have the raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmsss and blind faith (the song) would then increase in volume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
