Club say Thank you

Prior to Tuesday`s game against Worcester Stockport County took the opportunity to thank Help the Hatters for the work done in and around Edgeley Park via the various Working Parties and other efforts.
A buffet was provided following which County Director Richard Park and Manager Alan Lord offered some well received words of thanks on behalf of the Club, before all present upped sticks and went to enjoy County latest win.

No Working Party .Sunday 21st September.

This confirms that the mooted WP envisaged to take place on the above date, will not now happen- so you might just manage a lie in!

Blog.

We have now passed 136000 hits which is simply excellent.

 
One Man.....no hat !
I hope that you are enjoying the return of Man in a Hat, who made his first appearance of the season at Hednesford. In addition County Historian Ian Watts has contributed both Match Previews and some really informative, and very popular, Conference North Updates. Hopefully these items will continue along with the usual features as we push on towards 200000!



News 

Help the Hatters would like to congratulate Alan and Veronica Gaskin who were recently married. Alan and Veronica flew to Pisa Italy to get wed, and we wish them a very happy married life together!



Someone else in the news was Joan Plimmer who was recently adopted as Green Party candidate for Macclesfield Parliamentary Constituency. Well done Joan, and good luck!

And finally......

You may recall that in Help the Hatters Update 39, I offered a tale of my much neglected roses as a metaphor for County`s situation.
I thought an update was due, and an updated pic, 




and as you can see the revival is underway, pretty much as it is on the pitch for County! Onwards.....upwards!

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
