Talk:Stockport County F.C.

Edits from 17-20 March
Point 1) As has already been mentioned, WP is not for advertising. 2) The edit made to the infobox greatly disrupts the appearance & is not neccessary at all, as are the other minor edits made. Changes are always welcome, but please keep them within the style of the page & within Wikipedia's guidelines. CharlieT (talk) 19:39, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Slight overhaul
I've given the page a bit of an overhaul, in order to (hopefully) improve it's rating in the Quality Scale above, for the WikiProject Football. History has been moved to it's own page, with a short overview replacing it on the main page. Colours & Crest section added, but I've removed the Trivia section (see Avoid trivia sections in articles), I'll be trying to add all the useful information that was in there to the main History article, and improve that further. And more references added, could probably do with more though. (I assume all that Rochdale squabbling is done, so removed that from the page aswell) CharlieT 22:05, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

History
I've added a few paragraphs on County's history in place of the 'Overview' section. Could someone add some bits on the Bergara/Wembley years & the pre-Begara years, before the Dave Jones bit? That was before my time I'm afraid so I'm not sure what to include. CharlieT 15:17, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Found out who are chief scout was by doing a bit of snooping, hope you didnt mind me adding his name to your staff list JT

I think the Bergara era definitely deserves a proper section, and the 60s "Go Go Go County" era and the re-election years would probably round it out nicely.
 * I've just found a copy of "From the Nursery" so I'll try and get summaries of a couple more eras up soon.CharlieT 20:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Added section about the Bergara years, as those were the years I spent watching County pretty much every week. Mattwhiteski 16:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I'd hold off updating The Record section for a little while, I can see us making it 10 games at Barnet but Hartlepool will surely put at least one of the runs to an end!

Grammar
There's been a couple of reverts on this lately, so I'm not changing it myself without a bit of a discussion here. In my experience, the club is treated as a singular for the purposes of verb agreement (number), though the team is treated as a plural, even when the same noun is used for both. Hence "Stockport County is a football club" but "Stockport County are winning 3-0". Thoughts, contradictions? Js farrar 19:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Spot on. That's exactly right. Mattwhiteski 11:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

That's consistent with other English football articles. --Dweller 16:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure, I'd always refer to both a club and a team as a plural, as both describe a group of individuals. To refer to either in the singular smacks of American English to me, but some other clubs' pages follow the method you have described.

Player notability
Tes Bramble - has someone been having a bit of a laugh? WP:WPF recommends a notable player as one who's played over 100 games, or is highly notable (i.e. George Best). Tes Bramble doesn't fall under any such category. CharlieT 14:32, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Merge proposed
Please see Nine wins without conceding a goal that I've rescued from speedy, renamed, flagged for merge and slightly enhanced (it's still pretty poor). Please post to my talk page if it's nonsense and needs speedying. --Dweller 16:04, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

It seems pretty daft to have a separate section for it tbh. It's a good record, but belongs in its own section on the club's page IMO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.207.239.245 (talk) 10:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Fans' reputation
What's this bit at the bottom about County fans' reputation preceding them and not showing away colours at EP? As far as I'm aware we have only a small group of Casuals and are good natured on the whole. The only crowd trouble I can recall has come as a direct result of away fans getting into the home stands. 217.207.239.245 (talk) 16:09, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Added a TO DO list
I have added a TO DO list to the talk page to help people with edits (so they know what needs editing/changing) in a hope that the article can get re assess for GA status in the future. wna247 (talk) 02:21, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Updated To Do list
I have updated the To Do list and also given the page an overhaul. Will be adding more details relevant to topics when needed. e.g. when the new manager is announced. Wna247 (talk) 22:52, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Lack of Several little Facts.
Although known by several followers, George Best played his last league game in division 4 wearing Stockport County number 10. Yet since His departure there is little written after 1970. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.9.131.22 (talk) 21:37, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Update
History of Stockport County F.C. page references and some wording merged with the main [Stockport County F.C.] page. I feel like most of the entire History page is covered with the main article. Could History of Stockport County F.C. page be deleted??? Wna247 (talk) 16:20, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Don't be silly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.205.122.198 (talk) 05:58, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Fact Checks
History of Stockport County F.C. page contains several dead links and all links that are good are already in the main Stockport County F.C page in the history section. I have added several more references and inks to the main page and also put it backup for good article nomination. If there is anything that still needs doing before this is a good article let me know and I will be happy to assist. Wna247 (talk) 19:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Highest League Finish
Hi, I added the Highest League Finish but without links. Can anyone please assist with the needed links for my addition? KobiNew (talk) 13:08, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Fan base
Does County have an official fan club in South Devon ? 2A02:C7F:2C3A:F300:C57B:B680:AB47:D599 (talk) 17:47, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Contradiction in etymology
This article contradicts the Stockport one, as it claims the name of the town is derived from the De Stokeport family but that article claims it originally meant a hamlet with a market. Which one is correct? Overlordnat1 (talk) 12:01, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
