All Things Stockport County

Scientists ,we are told, are close to creating a pill to cure jet lag, after research on mice had revealed a possible mechanism for speeding up the body`s response to movement across time zones. There were no time zones for County to cross today, just a 66 mile journey to North Yorkshire to take on Harrogate Town, but ,for sure, there was a pressing need for their circadian clocks to be better regulated than they apparently have been thus far this season, but there was no sign of this happening at Wetherby Road where they slumped to ignominious defeat in alarming style. It was another abject exhibition of how not to win football matches as with the game stuck at 0-0, and half time just 8 minutes away, County suddenly lapsed into doze mode, conceding 3 goals in a 5 minute spell that sent them in at the break 3-0 down.

Thankfully however things moved off the field in an altogether more positive direction! `Stronger Together' To summarise briefly - a most productive meeting took place at the Blossoms Hotel, at long last showing that the various unofficial elements of the mighty Blue Army, could come together and to some purpose- namely that of saving County! Help the Hatters were pleased to have  representatives present at this momentous gathering, and will endeavour to play a full part in the Groups onward activity. It was decided to support the following :-  To attempt to secure Edgeley Park as a Community Asset.

Tonight was a landmark occasion in Stockport County history, as in a packed meeting room in the Blossoms Hotel, supporters from all sections of the Clubs fantastic fan base ,at last united, in the interest of saving our wonderful football club. It was agreed from the onset that the situation was urgent and unity essential if progress was to be made.
