Here's the backing story to help you make your mind up:
On the 12th of June 2009 it was revealed that Stockport County Football Club had gone into liquidation. This was 7 months after they revealed to their fans that it was not a possibility. Once the supporters found out, they decided not to fight for the club because if they fought for Stockport County's existance the same thing would happen again.
This was until local millionaire and life long County fan Liam Roberts found out, he immediately called a meeting with the clubs board, which resulted in an arguement between Roberts and the former Stockport County board and it was confirmed that there was no possible chances of Stockport County returning into existance.
Weeks later, Liam Roberts met with a group of fans which included former director Mark Maguire, who resigned from his position at Stockport due to the conditions the club was in months before it went into liquidation. This meeting was called to discuss the possibility of making a club that was ran by fans, sort of like FC United Of Manchester. The group had the finances and it had the experience, but there was a few issues which had to be resolved, like where can they play and who would sign for a club made up of fans of a club that was barely the best known club in the world. Roberts eventually struck a deal with local side Woodley Sports to rent their Lambeth Grove Stadium out, as long as they allowed Woodley sports to play at their new reserves stadium located on Woodbank Park. Roberts also hired a few of the Stockport County's former youth team players who had been unemployed since the Stockport County disappeared into liquidation, these players were only signed on short term contracts.
County legend and former physio Rodger Wylde agreed to help the new club get on its feet, as did former scout Stephen Fennell. The most shocking addition to the club was an addition to the coaching staff, County legend Kevin "Big Kev" Francis flew back to England from his home in Canada to help Maguire and Roberts bring this new fan run club back to the Football League. The club even formed a partnership with Barnsley FC which involved barnsley giving financial help to AFC Stockport if they got inot any money worries. The last thing for them to do was think of a name for the club, after lengthy conversation and debating they decided to name the club AFC Stockport. Claming the AFC did officially stand for Associated Football Club but to them AFC was dedicated to their fans, to them it meant "A Fans Club".
On the 29th of June 2009, Roberts' dream came true, they were welcomed into the Blue Square North division, Roberts knew it would be a tough challenge and questioned to himself, who would take on the AFC Stockport challenge?
