Stockport County were delighted to be named as one of a record-breaking number of EFL clubs to achieve Family Excellence Status.
A total of 66 EFL Clubs achieved Family Excellence status for the 2022/23 season, which marks the highest success rate since the standard was introduced 15 years ago.
The Family Excellence scheme sees Clubs receive two visit assessments each season, in order to determine the quality of the family matchday experiences they provide. The scheme recognises the continuous improvement and best practice that emerges across the League and rewards Clubs for their efforts in attracting and retaining young supporters.
The appetite for live football shows no signs of slowing down, with crowds for the 2022/23 season across the EFL increasing by 12% compared to the previous season, with attendances at an all-time high this century.
At Edgeley Park, we recorded our highest average attendance since the 1966/67 Division Four title-winning season, with our combined home attendances breaking the 250,000 mark.
