A new Stockport County artwork is to be painted behind the Together Stand at Edgeley Park. 

The new mural will be spray-painted on the wall near the Family Zone behind the Together Stand, and will draw inspiration from the 'Animo et Fide' motto - 'with courage and faith'.

It comes not long after the recently-completed Scarf my Father Wore mural on the Armoury roundabout - the club is becoming a popular muse, it seems!

And just like in that project, this Together Stand mural will be worked on by GRIT Studios and a team of talented young people aged between 14 and 17. 

Painting will begin on 30 July. 

A club spokesperson said the work will be "a bright new backdrop that also pays homage to the club's rich history and traditions".

The spokesperson added: "The club will soon be reaching out to season ticket holders to provide the opportunity for young people to apply to be a part of this project, and we are excited to reveal the end results in the near future."

This new project follows a buoyant season for County, as the Hatters finished top of League Two, earning promotion to League One.

The first game of the season for Stockport is at home against Cambridge United on Saturday 10 August.
