Stockport Council has given the green light for a new fan zone at Edgeley Park, with the aim of easing congestion around the ground as the club's attendance numbers grow.
County's dedicated fan zone, named County Courtyard, will cater for up to 1,500 fans with its three shipping containers and a stretch tent providing cover from downpours. Food wise, a host of fan favourites will be on offer including craft beers, award-winning pies, and street food from around the world.
Jonathan Vaughan, Stockport County CEO said: “We’re delighted that Stockport Council has approved plans for the County Fan Zone, we know that creating a fantastic matchday experience goes beyond what happens on the pitch and we need to do everything we can to welcome fans into Edgeley Park and keep them coming back. This planning approval allows further investment into the ground which not only adds to the fan experience but brings new jobs and helps drive Stockport County’s progress on the pitch.”
