Help the Hatters Update 46

By -





Sunday 28 September was not only the day after County`s excellent FA Cup win at Harrogate, it was when County supporters pulled all the stops out again in an inspirational double whammy!


 
Gate Crew...." They Shall not Pass ...not without paying anyway !
First off...just before 06.00( yes unbelievable isn`t it, but such an hour does exist!), a band of Help the Hatters stalwarts were on site to open the Booth Street Car Park to set another giant Car Boot Sale in motion.

 
scb.....Man with a mission.....

It was a giant affair as well, as over 100 sellers plied their wares .The weather was amazingly balmy for the time of year, so expect Hurricane Herbert to be abroad for the next one!

 
Chris and David, `park em up !'
The organisation, put together by Angela Moore, was spot on and the effort will significantly bolster Help the Hatters efforts to assist the Club.

 
Fitzy and a barely discernible John Gaskin in the distance!
There will hopefully be one more Car Boot for 2014. A license has been applied for, for Sunday 19 October, so if you are able to help at any stage on that date ,please let Angela know via email  hthcarboot@hotmail.co.uk

They`re off- the W.P begins work !

Nine o`clock saw Help the Hatters and the Stockport County Supporters Cooperative confirm that not only is `Stronger Together’ a neat tag line, but also the way forward for supporters of the Club, as the two organisations united effectively , meeting at the blues spiritual and actual home....Hardcastle Road ,for the Bungalow  Working Party organised to tackle the job of painting the front of the `Bung’ in response to the deal they concluded with Saint Saviour to donate 50p for every match day pint sold on their premises, to the Players Fund.
 
Lots to do.......

The colour scheme decided upon was white and blue.....unsurprising from a County perspective, but for a Labour Club something of a departure!

 
End of Bung WP 1....great start !

A good start was made, and other Working Party`s will follow, so please volunteer to help if you can. For sure there will be another W.P. this coming Sunday ( start 9 a.m) ,and there may be others before hand during the day. If you are available either during the day mid week or week-ends, let John Gaskin or myself know please.

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 forg...

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, ...

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 ...
