As the referee pressed his whistle to his lips and blew for full time, the deafening roar of the Edgeley Park crowd could be heard throughout Stockport. After 11 long years, County have been promoted back to the Football League, bringing with it absolutely joyous scenes.
Thousands of fans in the ground, along with several who had gathered outside for the final few minutes of the game, piled onto the pitch and got the promotion party started. Flares in Stockport blue were let off, kids were hoisted onto shoulders and chants of 'champione' filled the air.
As music from local lads Blossoms blasted out of the PA system, fans were asked to leave the pitch to allow the trophy ceremony to take place. It wasn't until about half an hour after the conclusion of the 2-0 win that fans eventually started to leave.
