FOOTBALL CLUB
tockport Town FC is based at the Stockport Sports Village, Lambeth
Grove in Woodley and their first team currently competes in Division
One of the Hallmark Security League. They are led by Chairman Seb Rowe
who is supported by Secretary Rob Clare and the club is looking to progress
under their guidance.
First established in 2014, the club state on their official
website, www.stockporttownfc.co.uk, that their aim is, “to
provide a pathway for young talented footballers in Stockport
with the vision to be the best club in Stockport for player
development.”
The club focuses on helping to promote and grow football
in the area and aims to play a vital role in the local community
both through football and non-football activities particularly in
the areas of health and well-being, education and employment,
social inclusion and volunteering.
Last season their first team put together a solid league
campaign as they compiled a record of nineteen wins, eight
draws and fifteen defeats from their forty two matches. This
saw them finish in a mid-table position with 64 points on the
board.
This should provide the team with a fine platform from
which to build for the 2017-18 campaign. They have been
working hard during the off-season to develop the side and
as long as they are able to retain their current group of players
and can perhaps make one or two quality additions they
should be well positioned for a good season.
One of the highlights of the team’s performances last
season was the attacking brand of football that they were able
to produce. This was reflected by the fact that they found the
back of the net ninety two times at a rate of more than two per
game.
This will certainly have meant that any supporters
attending their matches will have been well entertained and
this should encourage more of the local community to get
behind the side in the future. This in turn has the potential to
provide them with a valuable source of additional revenue
which is particularly important in the current financial climate.
Stockport Town FC clearly has a fine set up in place and
with their ambitions for the future it appears to be an exciting
time to be involved with the club. Everyone at Football Focus
Magazine would like to take this opportunity to wish them the
best of luck for the new season.
