Help the Hatters Update 22

                                           Booters.......Punters.....and Hatters

It`s  ridiculous o`clock......06.00....a  time when most people are abed......Angela Moore is not, and she`s grappling with the double iron gates that keep the masses off Booth Street Car Park when they are not wanted!
Already at that time the booters are queuing to come on and pitch up as are a few punters, who are  salivating over the thoughts of an irresistible bargain.
It`s pitch black , but thankfully a few Help the Hatters people join her and its all systems go as the first batch of sellers vie for the best spots.

                                                            Gate Crew on Alert!




All concerned are relieved to see that the monster lake had been largely removed by the man from the Council, from just inside the entrance, so conditions were quite favourable for a good day- we just maybe needed the sun to shine on us!

                                                     Mob handed at the gate!







And...it did of course and with 101 sellers set up perfectly and a large number of parking punters sorted too another good day was assured.
It was good to see some new faces  in the HtH team, but sad to hear that one of them, Eddie, was off to Oz shortly.
It was a typically terrific effort by all concerned approached in a good spirit- just what`s required to help lift our great Club out of its current situation!
Well done everyone who turned out!


                 
                                                      Angela keeps the troops in order!


Urgent Appeal Arising from the Above Item.

We are thinking of running the final Car Boot on Sunday 13th October 2013, and Angela urgently requires helpers particularly, but not exclusively, those willing to turn out at 06.00 for the early shift. Please consider this appeal carefully and if you can help please e mail Angela on angela.moore53@ntlworld.com

Further appeal Arising from the Above Items

I want to help( at 06.00) but need to compile/ complete and publish my match report which considering I will be driving to and from the match will be a difficulty to say the least. It would help if some kind soul could agree to give me a lift to and from the game at Barrow. I would need room in the back to enable me to start the report and save some time , and I will definitely make a generous contribution to travel costs . So please contact me if you can help at madhatterib@virginmedia.com or either of my usual phone contact numbers.
Thanks in advance and with a modest amount of desperation!

Ways to Help .....Help the Hatters!

Help the Hatters continues to be sustained by its wonderful and trendously loyal base of supporters who give their time and energy so generously throughout the year- in and out of season!
I have mentioned before that other ways....painless and cost free in the main, exist so I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the details.

Vital provides another source of income for Help the Hatters via the Editors payments which accrue quarterly and have been kindly donated to HtH by Andy.
Again its a simple matter to earn HtH some money- in this case you just have to visit  http://www.stockport.vitalfootball.co.uk and the job`s done. So please consider visiting this site which has a number of lively forums on going and all County related.

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
