Edgeley Park is currently an all-seater stadium holding 10,900 spectators but is set to be increased to a capacity of around 18,000, with the start of the project in 2025.

In 2015, Stockport Council purchased the stadium for around £2 million, leasing it back to the football club, in order to prevent it from being demolished and redeveloped.

[4] Stockport County FC moved there from Green Lane in 1902, needing to find a bigger stadium to play in following their entrance into the Football League two years earlier.

The record attendance is 27,833, when Liverpool visited Edgeley Park to play Stockport in the fifth round of the FA Cup in 1950.

The floodlighting system was first used for an opening friendly match against Fortuna '54 Geleen of Holland on 16 October 1956, whose side included four members of the Dutch national team that had defeated Belgium the previous week.

On 14 January 1958 the England squad were due to play training matches at Manchester City's Maine Road but the pitch was frozen.

The first major development at Edgeley Park was the construction of the original Main Stand on the north (Hardcastle Road) side of the ground.

Unusually, rather than running the length of the pitch, as would normally be expected in football stadia nowadays, the Main Stand is only about 75 yards long, straddling the halfway line, with the gaps at each end containing other club-related buildings.

On 23 May 2012, it was announced that Stockport County was to rename the Main Stand in honour of their late manager Danny Bergara.

The original Cheadle End, built in 1923, was a small, covered terrace of largely timber construction, with room for around 3,000 people.

This stand was demolished in 1985 following the Bradford City stadium fire and replaced by seven steps of shallow uncovered terracing which held only a small number of supporters.

However, when Sale Sharks owner Brian Kennedy sold Stockport County at that time, they vacated the club shop – moving to a former cupboard under the stairs around the corner.

They returned to the large club shop in November 2012 following Sale Sharks move to the AJ Bell Stadium in Eccles.

In 1978 the terracing at the rear of the stand was levelled and its capacity halved; eventually, in late 1993, the Pop Side was made all-seater.

In 2001, it was the last part of Edgeley Park to be converted to seating, thus making the ground all-seated, and it is now generally used to house away supporters.

This will make it similar to the existing West Stand (or Cheadle End) albeit with a slightly lower capacity.
