Stockport County are promoted back to League One after an absence of 14 years following a win against Morecambe.
Stockport County sealed promotion back to League One after a stress-free win over Morecambe at a jubilant Edgeley Park.
Connor Lemonheigh-Evans and Callum Camps forced smart saves out of Shrimps goalkeeper Archie Mair as County continued to swarm forward after the break against their dispirited visitors who failed to have a shot on target with a late Joel Senior shot flying wide. But financial issues, administration and poor form meant those highs were followed by despairing lows.
First came the return to professionalism, then a return to the EFL was targeted, and in stepped serial promotion winner Dave Challinor, tasked with guiding the club out of the National League. The hangover from the agony of losing that final weaved its way into this season as they won just once in their opening eight games.
Promotion was the expectation with a big budget and plenty of quality, but County have overcome some hurdles. They only won one of their first six league games.
