The Supporters' Trust owned a 98% stake of Stockport County Association Football Club Limited (Stockport County) until April 2009, when the club was placed into administration due to near - bankruptcy. The club was eventually saved by The 2015 Group, which now owns a 100% stake in the club.

The Trust changed its name to the Supporters' Co - operative after the Trust came under heavy criticsm from Stockport County fans following their failure to keep the club afloat.

Famous quotes containing the word county:
“I could draw Bloom County with my nose and pay my cleaning lady to write it, and I’d bet I wouldn’t lose 10% of my papers over the next twenty years. Such is the nature of comic-strips. Once established, their half-life is usually more than nuclear waste.”
