Stockport County's return to the Football League recognised in Parliament

Stockport County’s return to the Football League has officially been recognised in Parliament. A motion, from the club’s MP Navendu Mishra, has been put forward in Parliament to congratulate Dave Challinor and his squad on winning the National League.

The Hatters achieved promotion with a 2-0 win over Halifax Town last Sunday, sparking wild celebrations at Edgeley Park. Now, having received support from Deputy Labour leader Angela Rayner, Rochdale MP Tony Lloyd, and Conservative Hazel Grove MP William Wragg, Mr Mishra has recognised the achievement in the House of Commons.

The Early Day Motion also paid tribute to the recent deal that was struck between club owner Mark Stott and Stockport Council to agree a 250-year lease on Edgeley Park.
