Help the Hatters Update 17

By -







The first week for some time without a Tuesday Working Party  had a feel of the unreal about it- with no painting to do life seemed oh so pointless, until County came away with one at Borough Stadium Workington- catch the match report at http://hedgegrower.blogspot.com











Actually life has been far from pointless really and HtH have found loads to do and plan to do in the 7 days since the last Update.
Here`s a run down;-

Update  on Fitzy.

He is slowly progressing and managing to get out occasionally whilst taking things slowly. He made it to Edgeley Park last Saturday for the Boston game  , accompanied by Mike and Natalie, and he was overwhelmed by the kindness shown to him by countless supporters. He was disappointed with the result of course but your support made up for that , and he sends his good wishes to all!

HtH County Yearbook

We continue to sell this excellent item which is a real bargain at £2, and a must for travelling fans with its terrific Away Ground guide to the Conference North. I will be at Altrincham on Saturday with a few copies on me if you have not bought yours yet, and the aim is to have sellers out on Monday from 1.45 on Hardcastle Road helping us try and reach our break even mark of 500 copies. We produced 1000 and although we sold a mighty 112 copies last Saturday, we are still short of our first target of 500. If you can help sell the Yearbook please seek me out on Hardcastle Road near the Cheadle End turnstile from 1.30

Car boot-Monday 26 August

We are running a Car Boot Sale  which goes ahead on Monday 26th starting at....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. This is a substantial funds earner for Help the Hatters , who do not have membership fees to rely on, and it does require a good few bodies on site to make it work, so if you can do...please help.

 Blog.                          http://hedgegrower.blogspot.com

The site topped 15800 page views this morning and continues to thrive now having attracted AdSense units. The last week has seen two match reports published and an excellent article by Pauline Coddington ` From Navy Blue to County Blue' which earned favourable comment from the Yellowboard- no mean feat! We continue to carry a link to our sister site www.stockport.vitalfootball.co.uk  and would encourage HtH supporters to continue visiting that site and thus earn HtH some Vital income!

General Meeting

As a check/balance HtH will hold occasional General Meetings to ensure supporters views are taken into account as far as possible when deciding what to do and when.If you are on our database of HtH supporters you will get notice of the time/ date/venue when this is decided. We hope to be able to confirm these details soon. If youare not currently on the database, but want to be included on it -  email me at madhatterib@virginmedia.com and you`re on!

That`s all for now.

Regards.

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
