Stockport County FC goes digital with groundbreaking fan engagement tech

Stockport County FC has signed up as the first club to implement Fourth Wall’s full Alloc8 technology eco-system, joining the dots across ticketing operations, venue access, and fan engagement.

The collaboration positions County as a leader in fan-focused digital solutions, supporting their ambition to deliver significant service enhancements, and sharper business operations.

The digital solutions are backed by Fourth Wall’s supporting services in areas including fan acquisition and retention, merchandise production and digital content creation.

Pete Hewison, product director at Alloc8, Fourth Wall, said: “We’re excited to be working with such an historic club as Stockport County. They’re an ambitious club with a clear vision, and we’re proud to partner with them to build something that genuinely benefits the fans and club alike.’’

The technology rollout focusses on three key areas: fan engagement & loyalty recognition, commercial revenue performance, and operational efficiency. By integrating core business systems, Stockport can align club and supporter goals, deepen fan insights, and scale services without increasing overhead.

Pete continued: “Our goal is to make ticketing and fan operations simpler, smarter, and more flexible, for both fans and the club. By streamlining complex processes and enabling fans to self-serve, we’re removing friction and delivering a more intuitive experience at every level. It’s about giving clubs the tools and time to focus on what matters most: the fans.”

Olivia Hanvey, commercial operations director at Stockport County, added: “We’re delighted to enter a long-term partnership with Alloc8 to support our digital transformation in what is a truly exciting era for Stockport County. This partnership represents our dedication to constantly enhancing supporter experience and strengthening club operations.”

This is the first time Alloc8’s full eco-system has been deployed end-to-end. While each product is available independently, the combined rollout at Stockport shows what’s possible when a club unifies its core ticketing, access, and membership operations – replacing legacy limitations with full flexibility and control.

The partnership also lays the groundwork for future initiatives that will integrate loyalty and rewards into in-stadium activity, allowing Stockport fans to earn and redeem benefits across concourse, retail, and hospitality environments.
