Help the Hatters Update 16

By -



Hello again from Help the Hatters !
The week has been another busy one starting on Sunday when a party of heroes and heroins turned out with a view to painting the Hardcastle Road frontage, at the unreasonably early hour of 09.00! In the event the weather got in the way and when light drizzle turned to the heavy stuff the project was abandoned.With the season now upon us its an end of term thingy then in my view, but we`ll keep you updated.
On to Tuesday........and the final Working Party of the current close season captured here as the party dispersed for a well earned drink at the end......









The aim was to fix as many advertising hoardings in place as we could and I think that this was achieved and the great turnout of 15 are to be congratulated!
My interest was aroused to see Liam Dickinson doing laps of the pitch for a time , but he revealed that he was merely `keeping fit' and had not signed for us!
Wednesday brought agreement with Phil Brennan to submit a HtH page for each match day programme- the first is done and will appear in the Boston edition this Saturday.
The Blog http://hedgegrower.blogspot.com meanwhile continues to flourish rattling up over 3000 visits in the 7 days since the last Update- total page views standing at 13800 early this morning ( Friday).
Loads of good stuff to come in the next 7 days including 2 match reports from the Boston game , and  the first away fixture at Workington. Pauline Coddington has a terrific item coming out on Monday next also, so watch out for that, and an item of some considerable interest has just emerged and I will be penning this and publishing later today. So keep the visits coming and thanks for your support!
So...what`s happening this week end and beyond?
Well.....on Saturday we will be selling the HtH County Yearbook outside the Cheadle End turnstile from 13.30. We need a couple more sellers to cover the Cheadle End Main Stand turnstile and the Main Stand one near the away end. So if you can help seek me out anytime after 13.30.
We are running a Car Boot Sale ( yes....the much delayed one from earlier this month) which goes ahead on Monday 26th starting at rediculous o`clock ( err....06.00). No need to turn out at 06.00- but if you can help at all at any time between then and 13.00 please advise Angela on angela.moore53@ntlworld.com or 07867856394.
There will be much to occupy our volunteer  supporters in the weeks ahead- the end of the Working Party`s( for now) does not indicate that we go into relaxation mode. Watch this space again for information, but I can advise that there will be a general meeting of HtH supporters soon to help map out stuff .

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
