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.

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.
