Stockport County could play in front of 18,000 people after it unveiled plans to expand its home. More details have been shared on the bid to grow Edgeley Park, where County have played since 1903. The club are currently flying high in League Two, but can only host 10,852 fans on matchdays.
“Ultimately, we want to ensure that the stadium matches our level of ambition so it can continue to provide a first-rate home for the club and the local community for many years to come. Further details on how the stadium would change have also been shared. Bosses hope to start with ‘expansion and enhancement’ of the historic Danny Bergara Stand — which would see its historic brick frontage repaired along Hardcastle Road — and the Railway End.
After that, it’s thought Together Stand would be redeveloped to increase its capacity to around 5,500, plus bring in new food, beverage, and hospitality facilities. The final element would be a western extension to the North Stand, providing another 600 seats.
