It’s been a rollercoaster few years for Stockport County. Promotion to the football league followed by play-off defeat last year was emotional for fans of the Greater Manchester club.
However, this season, they’ve well and truly exorcised the demons of last year's Wembley defeat to Carlisle United. The club has not only won automatic promotion, but have won the Sky Bet League Two title - and did so with two league games left.
