From the publisher:
This the story of a normal fan watching an extraordinary season unfold on a journey around the country resulting in the promotion of a football team. Not just a standard football tale. The conclusion to a long exile in non-league football for a once proud Football League side. A club that had fallen further than any other team without going bust. From the play off places in the Championship to midtable in the National League North. That’s a fall from grace unprecedented in football history. Somehow the Hatters clawed their way back from semi-professional oblivion to the Holy Land of the Football League.
The author of this football renaissance travelled to the South Coast and all points East and West on awaydays. Clocking up over 6,000 miles in pursuit of promotion for the famous Stockport County AFC. Through wind, rain, turmoil, travesty, elation, devotion and ultimately a successful pilgrimage. County became Champions and returned to the promised land. After eleven years in non-league the football club rose from the ashes and carried a town’s dreams with them. Read all about it and revisit every match on the journey of a lower league football fan.
