The Mancunian Way: A team on the up
PLUS: Bruce Springsteen in Manchester
It was a disappointing night for Stockport County fans yesterday after the team squandered the chance to clinch promotion.
The Hatters missed out on a trip to Wembley and a shot at promotion to the Championship after losing to Leyton Orient on penalties in the second leg of their League One play-off semi-final.
â
But, as Chris Slater reports, the team are in the middle of a remarkable turnaround. In 2019 you could find them in the sixth tier, and they only returned to the football league in 2022.
â
Fans making their way home through the streets of Edgeley last night told Chris that despite the disappointment, they had to reflect on where they'd come from.
Shaun Hanley, 67, from Offerton, a regular at Edgeley Park since 1967, said: "I am absolutely gutted. I thought we were the better team.

Edward Lake, 21, said: "I thought the early goal off-set us a bit. But we have so much character, and we have so much faith in this team. When we went behind I thought 'we can definitely come back, we've done it so many times.'
"We picked up in the second half, and I think, ultimately, we were quite unlucky to lose in the end. We had some very clear chances.
â
"But it is what it is. Everyone is really gutted, because we were in a really good position. But we have got a lot of time to prepare for next season. And in terms of next season, there's no reason for any of us not to be confident.â

Yes, Bruce Springsteen is in town, and his fans have poured in from far and wide to see âThe Bossâ take on his residency in Manchester. And in typical fashion, he didnât hold back when it came to the current state of his home country.
"In my home, the America I love, the America I've written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration,â he told a rapturous crowd on Wednesday night. You can read more here.
