Based at Stockport Sports Village, the club began with ambitious aims to begin life at the tenth tier of the English football league system.

They highlighted how the club had been successfully run over the past year, with encouraging results against some high-profile clubs from the region.On 14th May 2015, it was confirmed that the club's place in the North West Counties Football League Division One for the 2015–16 season was accepted.
