Liberal Democrat-run Stockport Council has agreed to purchase Edgeley Park football ground following a special meeting of the Council’s Executive this week.
The deal with current owners Cheshire Sports, described as “crucial to the club’s future” will help secure the future of Stockport County football club and of an important community asset in the ground itself. The Council will have a landlord/tenant relationship with the club.
The rent paid by the club would cover the cost of the purchase, meaning that it won’t cost taxpayers a penny.
The decision to purchase the ground was made in a 13 minute meeting which you can watch here.
