1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Seven times we’ve made the way,
To Wembley Stadium for Final’s day,
With Stockport hearts we travel down,
In hope our lads will take the crown.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Four times at the old Twin Towers,
We dreamed of glory, longed for hours,
But each return was filled with sighs,
Defeat beneath those London skies.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Then rose the arch, so bold, so bright,
A symbol shining into sight,
And once it gave us cause to sing,
A win that felt like everything.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Against Rochdale AFC we stood so proud,
Our voices strong, our cheers so loud,
One golden day, one perfect scene,
The best that Wembley’s ever been.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 But fate has not been kind since then,
Two more losses for Chally’s men,
The latest fall, a heavy blow,
To Luton Town, a painful show.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Yet still we’ll go, yet still we’ll stand,
With heads held high and scarves in hand,
For hope is something we don’t stash,
It lives in every County clash.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 So next time beneath that arch we go,
Let victory finally start to flow,
And may Stockport County rewrite the page,
Another win at Wembley, centre stage.

Notes

Yet another loss, but we live in hope!!

PS Congratulations to the fake Hatters, better team won on the day
