The Hatters are tenants to Sale Sharks, and face an uncertain future, with the Sharks looking into a move to Rugby League outfit Salford City Reds’ new Barton stadium.

It is not known whether County would be able to continue using their home since 1902 if Sharks and Edgeley Park owner Brian Kennedy decides to make the move.

“This is Stockport County, we play within the borough and we’re determined to stay within the borough,” Snape told BBC Radio Manchester.

“This is our spiritual home as well as our real home, and we want to continue playing here.”

There has been talk a ground-share with another local club could be a possibility if the Hatters have to relocate from Edgeley Park, but Snape refuted the claims.

“You can’t have Stockport County playing at Salford or Macclesfield,” he said.

When asked if he knew any more about Sale’s plans for next season he added: ”We still don’t know what Sale Sharks’ intentions are at the end of the season, presumably when they’ve sorted it out they’ll tell us. We’ll be here next season, that’s pretty certain.”
