History
1883-1930
Stockport was founded in 1883 under the name of "Heaton Norris Rovers" by members of Wycliffe Cathedral Church, and played its first documented game in October of the following year. The club took the nickname The Hatters , which was connected with the history of Stockport as the center of the Victorian hat industry. The same nickname has the club " Luton Town ". Stockport played in the Lancashire League until 1900, after which the club received permission to play in the Second Division of the Football League . Stockport played their first match in the Football League against Leicester Foss , which ended in a draw (2: 2). In 1902, Stockport left its Green Lane stadium and moved to Edgeley Park, where it still performs.
The club completed the season three times at the bottom of the table in its first four seasons, and at the end of the season, the 1903/04 club failed to win re-election. Stockport spent one year in the Lancashire Combination (the league they won in) and the Midland League. At the end of the season, Stockport rejoined the Football League. After returning to the Football League, Stockport reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first time in its history, but lost to Lincoln City . Stockport finished the league in 10th place that season [1] .
