      Back to 1994 for this week with a good win for a team chasing promotion and the first signs of the end of terraces.   Reporting on the Hatters most recent League game the Manchester Evening News said that Ian Ironside only got the call to play against Rotherham United 75 minutes before the start of the game. He replaced John Keeley who had picked up an injury after minding the goals in the 4-2 victory over York, a game that would prove to be his last for County. The man who a year earlier had become our first goalkeeper substitute kept a clean sheet in a 1-0 win. Another player with an injury that would end his County spell - albeit he was only on a monthly contract, was Kevin Brock - who played just one game for the first team. Stockport find out the tribunal fee for Paul Ware later today., Kevin Brock's injury problem is his hamstring and recovery will take him beyond his month's contract.   The following day saw the confirmation of the fee...

    County`s young side stormed through to the Second Round in this seasons prestigious Cheshire Senior Cup , impressively taking control of a game in which they were 1-0 down early on via Jake Pollards deserved opening goal ,before going on to win 3-1. The Bach were good value for their lead until they weren`t and Bruno Cina equalised 14 minutes in. A good contest followed thereafter ,the game being settled by another Cina goal and one from Joe Astles. In the end it was a convincing win against tough opponents ,with Cina and Astles hogging kudos & the limelight and defenders Richard Ilara, Daniel Marshall, Ernie Tessa- Nana & Ollie Huddleston not far behind them!

Stockport County 3 Barnsley 1 ( Football League 1) Saturday 10 October 2026

            County came back from 1-0 down to Daniel Stendel`s surprisingly forceful Barnsley side to win 3-1 via a brace of goals from Kyle Wootton and another from Mika Mandron at Edgeley Park today. It was another game where it took the blues 45 minutes plus before they had warmed up sufficiently to set about denting the Yorkshire team`s confidence, but by that time Barnsley were 1-0 up and very good value for their lead . A herculean effort was required of Jimmy Macs boys to turn the game around, and thankfully County had the men to enable them to do just that- excellent performances from their substitutes, particularly Jason Adigun clinching matters for the blues, Fiorini being a distinct improvement on Lewis Bate who looked to be a weak link in a midfield that should be shining brightly. The goals were priceless……2 from Woots – the first a cracking back post header on the end of Ollie Norwood`s corner, the second another nerveless finish after...
