Management Team - Season 2026/2027

We would also like to place on record our sincere thanks to Jack Edwards, who joined the Football Club in February under what were undoubtedly challenging circumstances.

Jack and his staff came in, steadied the ship and played a vital role in ensuring Cheadle Town retained its Step 5 status for another season. Their hard work, commitment and professionalism throughout their time at the club are greatly appreciated.

Everyone at Cheadle Town would like to thank Jack for his efforts and wish him, along with Joe, Kay, Adam and Ryan, every success for the future both on and off the pitch.

Thank you and good luck.

Change of ownership at Cheadle Town FC

Cheadle Town Football Club will be acquired by Stott Capital Sports Investments. SCSI continues to invest in sport with the same long-term mindset: creating sporting opportunities, developing talent, strengthening foundations, and helping organisations reach their full potential.

As part of the acquisition, the Ground Up Solutions Stadium, the home of Cheadle Town FC will also become the new home of Stockport County Women as they begin a new chapter following their launch in February this year. As a result, Cheadle Town Stingers 1st team will be disbanded.

Women’s football continues to experience unprecedented growth in participation across all age groups, yet the lack of fit-for-purpose facilities remains the single greatest barrier to further development of the women’s game. Investment in the facilities at Cheadle Town F.C. will help address this challenge by creating a high-quality, accessible environment for players, coaches and the wider community and become a central hub for women’s and girls’ football in Stockport for generations to come.

The facilities at Park Road will also continue to be home for Cheadle Town FC Men’s Team competing at Step 5 of the non-league pyramid building on a rich legacy of domestic success and community impact. Plans are in place to kick-off our maiden season in the Midland Football League Premier Division.

The Cheadle Town Full-Time Education Programme and junior grassroots teams will also continue as part of the plans, providing boys and girls pathway opportunities to play high level football.

Tracey Neville, Managing Director SCWFC said:

“This is such an exciting time for SCWFC and all girls within the borough with a passion for football. When I joined the club in February my vision was clear; to create a clear, credible pathway for girls and women to progress, whilst building the standards, culture and infrastructure needed to compete at the highest level. The facilities here at Cheadle Town FC provide us with a brilliant platform to achieve that and grow our pathways to give young girls of Stockport opportunities to compete at the highest level.”

Craig Brennan, Owner of Cheadle Town FC said:

“Since acquiring Cheadle Town FC in 2018, the vision has always been clear, to build a football club that could grow sustainably both on and off the pitch, with genuine ambition to progress through the football pyramid while becoming a true community asset.

That vision came with a clear roadmap, promotions, investment in facilities, the creation of a thriving junior section, a full-time education programme, and the development of successful women’s and girls’ teams.

Looking back, I’m incredibly proud of what has been achieved over the past eight years. The men’s team earned promotion to the NWCFL Premier Division, the women’s team achieved three consecutive promotions, our junior section will welcome over 500 players next season, and our education programme continues to go from strength to strength.

Perhaps most importantly, the club has become something far bigger than just a football team. Our facilities are now a genuine community hub, used every day of the week, made possible by an exceptional group of board members, staff, volunteers, players, coaches, and supporters who care deeply about this club.

But the journey is far from finished. There is still much to achieve, further progression on the pitch, continued development of the club’s structure, and the next phase of investment in the ground and facilities.

That is exactly why choosing the right custodians for the club mattered so much. We received significant interest, but from the outset it was important to find buyers who shared our long-term vision and understood what makes Cheadle Town special. In Stott Capital Sports Investments, I believe we have found that.

I’m genuinely excited to see what comes next for the club under their ownership, and I’m incredibly proud to have played a part in this chapter of Cheadle Town’s story.

Club Statement: Remembering Chris Davies

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of our founder and former Chairman, Chris Davies.

Chris was a true pioneer of grassroots and non-league football. His journey began back in 1961 when he founded Grasmere Rovers, a humble but ambitious club that laid the foundations for what we now know as Cheadle Town Football Club. In 1982, Chris oversaw the rebranding of the club to Cheadle Town, a change that coincided with the move to our current home at Park Road Stadium - now known as the Ground Up Solutions Stadium.

Chris dedicated his life to the development of this Football Club. His tireless work behind the scenes - from handling day-to-day administration to managing finances, and always ensuring the playing side was supported - was driven by an unshakeable love for the club and the game.

Running a semi-professional football club has never been easy, and during Chris’s time, especially in the early years, there was little or no funding. But through countless challenges, Chris never wavered. His determination and refusal to let Cheadle Town fold during difficult times was a testament to his character. Many of the values and spirit that define the club today are a direct result of Chris’s leadership and resolve.

Personally, my own journey into non-league football began in the mid-90s, influenced heavily by Chris. First as a supporter and then as a volunteer, I saw up close his commitment and passion - qualities that I’ve tried to carry with me ever since. This year marks my 30th year with the club, and I know that wouldn’t have been possible without that early inspiration from Chris.

Chris stepped down from his role as Chairman in 2018, during another financially challenging period for the club. His decision to step aside allowed for new investment and a fresh chapter in the club’s history — one that has since brought us long-awaited success, including our promotion to Step 5 after more than two decades.

While we didn’t always agree - two passionate individuals often don’t — we always shared one thing: a deep, unwavering love for Cheadle Town. His legacy, and the legacy of Grasmere Rovers, will live on through everything we do at this club.

If not for a chance meeting with Chris all those years ago, I likely wouldn’t be where I am today. For that, and for everything he gave to this Football Club, I will always be grateful.

On behalf of everyone at Cheadle Town FC, we send our heartfelt condolences to Chris’s family, friends, and all those who knew him.

Rest in peace, Chris.

Thank you for everything.

Cheadle Town Stingers Finale

Cheadle Town Stingers look forward to Sunday’s FA Women’s National League fixture against AFC Fylde knowing victory and a Middlesbrough defeat, draw or a Stingers victory where they can claw back a 3 goal difference deficit, then they’ll become champions of the First Division North [Tier 4].

A quite remarkable position to be in since our journey with the Stingers began in 2018. Many people within Cheadle Town Football Club never believed we would be in this position since that time, but it’s nothing more than everyone involved deserves.

Since our grassroots days when we had a competitive side in the North West Women’s Regional League when we deservedly won the League last season. We have only gone from strength to strength since the season began in last August. We certainly had a tough start with a trip to Middlesbrough where we were edged out by a single goal, and it was this game and the following victories against York City, Chorley and Barnsley that we made the opinion that we’re a good enough side that could actually make a go of this league. This was certainly opposite of our thoughts in pre-season when we looked towards survival in the FA Women’s National League.

Having worked alongside the Stingers Management Team since 2018 to where we are now, this is something that I have personally witnessed the potential over the past few years as they have won trophies and had some memorable runs in the Women’s FA Cup. It now all comes down to the last game of the season, where some many permutations between Middlesbrough and ourselves means a dream could finally be achieved on Sunday afternoon.

Whatever happens on Sunday I can reflect on the amazing season that we have, with personal highlights being our run in the Women’s FA Cup which sadly ended in defeat at West Bromwich Albion. Also victories on the road at Barnsley, Leeds United and Doncaster Rovers Belles were certainly memorable.

So if you’re not doing anything this Sunday, get yourself down to the Ground Up Solutions Stadium [KO 2:00pm] for what is hopefully going to be a remarkable day.
