The Football Family
Over the course of the 2025-26 season, Stockport County will face 23 different clubs from across the country in League One, from local derbies with Blackpool, Bolton and Wigan to southern schleps to Exeter and Plymouth. Naturally, these teams will feature regularly on The Scarf My Father Wore through our weekly previews, reports, away day reviews, and fan interviews.
But we also like to shine the spotlight on the entire football pyramid, from the prawn sandwiches of the Premier League to the meat and potato pie with mushy peas in the Manchester League. We’re extremely grateful to the following businesses, allowing us to produce even more football content from across the UK. If you follow any of these clubs, or you live in the local area, please support our sponsors whenever you can.
If you’d like to promote your business as part of The Football Family, please email thescarfmyfatherwore@substack.com.
To find out more about each club, click on their name for our popular ‘20 Questions’ series.
If there’s a ✅ next to the club’s name, it means Des Junior has been to watch a game there under his guise of The A-Z Groundhopper! Click on the green tick for the write-up and photos.
