County Snap up Shooting Star

By -


Wow.....exciting times...........for County and their supporters!
Thanks to Help the Hatters , and In the teeth of opposition from the likes of Middlesbrough, County gained themselves an international player today when English Schools star Rhys Turner signed to play for the Club.
Reece ,an English Schools Under 18  International ,and product of Myerscough College, has featured a few times in recent years for  County development teams looking a totally class act in the process despite playing against men far older than himself.
Alan Lord has monitored the players progress closely and County are lucky indeed to have snapped him up as he is a precocious talent!
Help the Hatters are delighted to have stepped up to the plate and made the signing  possible by agreeing with Ian Bogie and Alan Lord, to fund the players wages.
The agreement allows for the refund to HtH of the moneys expended,and a bonus, should Rhys succesfully progress .and County get a fee for him.
We see this arrangement as a useful model for the future,that could prove beneficial to the player and the Club whilst allowing HtH to continue their work on behalf of the supporters and County.
We hope that this gives County supporters something to be cheerful about, and we  look forward very much, to welcoming Rhys to the Club.
In this respect  Rhys will be at EP next Tuesday evening( 2nd July), circa 18.00, to meet supporters at Help the Hatters  latest EP Working Party.
Make a note in your diary folks and get down to Edgeley Park if you can and give Rhys a fine County welcome!

Simply Disgraceful !

Simply Disgraceful ! This day will rank in infamy    with some of the darkest in our Club`s history- the owners of Stockport County have sacked Jim Gannon…..a dreadful decision......... totally bereft of merit, and one heralded by a shamefully inadequate announcement, as insulting to County fans as it is to Jim. Champions under Jim in our last completed season, fourth in the league after as impressive a win as any Club Chair could wish to witness from his team on Tuesday, despite the interrupted nature of the current season, and clearly playing well, so this smacks of something other than prudence or good decision making and as for being rational and fair………….. Sadly the Club`s owners rather added to the anger their foolish decision has already triggered, by stating that the decision was not results based, but based on `culture`.   Jim is a proven quality Manager , who knows what it takes to make County tick, has done so many times in the past, and   has forgotten more about Co

Wrexham 1 Stockport County 2 ( Vanarama National League) 31 August 2019

“Where`s the goals gonna come from”-is a familiar refrain from those wanting County to ship in a new striker every other week, and County once again fully answered that one with “ from almost everywhere” as goals from defenders Sam Minihan and Ash Palmer secured all the points at the Racecourse Ground today against Wrexham. A 2-0 County lead at half time seemed to signal a rout, but Wrexham fought well upon the re-start and made a real match of it , albeit that an imperious display by County`s superb back line limited them largely to shots from distance. The defensive display from JG`s boys, in the second 45 minutes, if somewhat hard on the nerves, was again excellent , but a late goal to the Welshmen made the last few minutes tenser than perhaps they should have been. It all ended well however, as ,   with Festus Arthur on in place of Bell ,for his longest stretch of on the park minutes so far, and Mulhern on for Turnbull, marshalled by Keano and Palmer, the

Notts County 2 Stockport County 1 ( Vanarama National League) Saturday 23 October 2021

        Perhaps expectations were a touch excessive, after all most visits to Meadow Lane usually result in a stiff test from a home side hell bent on victory. Today was no exception to this as County were outplayed for 94 and a half minutes of the 96 played, by a Notts County side drilled to do the basics correctly, and doing just that. Almost all their passes, no matter the situation, inevitably found a man in a black and white shirt who knew thereafter precisely what they should do with it, whereas if County had no shortage of possession at times, they appeared to be largely lacking a basic pattern to work to that went beyond the sideways pass, and the occasional long ball from Rooney. This resulted in Simon Rusk`s side trailing 2-0 two minutes into four added minutes, when unaccountably the previously immaculately drilled home back line pressed the panic button resulting in a County penalty ( 1-2) and a welter of frenzied County attacks and corners, but it stayed the same sco
