Help the Hatters Update 21

By -




Here we go again................
 

The Booth Street Car Boot Sales have been a regular feature of the Help the Hatters programme for some years now. They help to keep us afloat income wise and able to function as a group.
The next one is this Sunday 22nd September  commencing at 06.00  running until 13.00.
Angela has got her team together as usual so thank you all the willing volunteers!
The start time  may strike you as a touch outlandish, but that`s the nature of booting, but the atmosphere amongst the volunteers is friendly and supportive ,and  no one is asked to do a 7 hour shift, or indeed start at 06.00 , just the hours that suit.
So if you want a bargain nip along to Booth Street on Sunday....or bob along and offer to help!

                                                        A typical HtH Car Boot Team!






Blog   http://hedgegrower.blogspot.com    went past 27000 page views this week  with good stuff from Pauline and Graham keeping the quality up along with the hits.
It is interesting to note that Leamington had 152 fans who travelled to Edgeley Park on Saturday, and via `Banter' the unofficial Leamington site, 126 of them visited the blog.
The overseas viewing figures make interesting reading with the US averaging around 180 visits per week, whereas most European countries notch up around 20 /25 each, along with China, Canada and Isle of Man( thanks Peter and Cindy!).
I was interested.....nay amazed to see that Vietnam had joined the blog`s avid readership with no less than 48 from that fair country logging on and reading about County. Oh.....there were a couple of Saudi Arabian visitors too!
We have actually received a donation via the Blog Pay Pal button since the last update, so thank you..... you know who...... we will use the money wisely.

Last Week     we concluded the street sales of the Yearbook, before Saturday`s game against Leamington, having sold short of 500 in total, but broke even with donations and advertising income.A big thanks to everyone who has joined me on Hardcastle Road flogging this excellent article! In addition a team of HtH people were hard at work from 1.30 sorting out the Vernon Building Society Kid`s Initiative. The pic below gives a flavour ( for those viewing this via the blog)of how this hard work paid off for County! Again terrific job ....thank you all!

                                             Just part of the well populated Pop Side !


Additionally HtH supporters continue to be involved in the Stronger Together supporters group and supporters wishing to sign up for the Supporters Cooperative are reminded that a link exists on the Blog ,under `favourite sites' to the whizzo new Coop web site where you can do the biz on line.
A report of Thursdays meeting is available on the Blog  http://hedgegrower.blogspot.com also

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
