Help the Hatters    4 June


With many Hatters understandably perhaps dwelling on the question of the moment....`Conference Premier or Conference North?', Help the Hatters rolled their sleeves up and got busy this week.

EP Working Party.
I have already mentioned Tuesday`s resoundingly successful opening WP- which saw 20 supporters transforming the look of our beloved stadium. More remains to be done and from now on there will definitely be a WP each Tuesday( meet at Main Stand 18.30 for 19.00 start). We are thinking of taking advantage of the decent weather and having a WP this Saturday morning as well. If you are interested, either for Saturday or Tuesday, please email Natalie on hancockp1@sky.com.As I write, I can advise you that Alan Lord is intent on showing up on Tuesday in support of the supporters!
Yearbook.        
Andy Birchenough is pressing on apace with this one, and has already put together a small team who will apply themselves to helping him produce what looks like being a cracking issue. Andy is well advanced with the contents which look the biz, but he is short of  someone who can do a cartoon for the Yearbook......yes someone in the County family is in for a lampooning! So ..... if you are interested contact Andy at andybirchenough_7@hotmail.com.
Next Social Evening.       
The date for this is Friday 19 July. The venue has not been sorted yet, although the Armoury has been approached I think-( any suggestions  to Natalie please).
Lottery.
We are thinking of launching a lottery ......purchasing National Lottery tickets -proceeds of any winnings split between Help the Hatters and the participating supporters, although the percentage split is yet to be decided. If you are at all interested in this meanwhile, let Natalie know ( email address above). Meanwhile keep topping up that sun block, and I`ll see you Saturday/Tuesday maybe!

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
