Stockport County Secure place in League One

May 26, 2008

Stockport County secured a place in League One this afternoon beating Rochdale 3-2 in the League Two Play-Off FInal. The defeat for Rochdale means they’ll play in the bottom league for the 35th straight season while County move back up to the third tier after three years in the fourth.

Rochdale took the lead in the game Rory McArdle headed in at the near post but Nathan Stanton scored in his own goal to even the game up going into half time. Anthony Pilkington header in the second half gave County the lead and Liam Dickinson gave County a bit of breathing space with a third.

Adam Rundle grabbed a goal for Rochdale to make the final 15 minutes tight for County. For Stockport manager Jim Gannon it’s step one of his plan with his sights on the Championship
