Help the Hatters April Catch Up.........

By -











I can already sense the tension as the days get ever nearer......




I talk of course about Monday 2 May first of all, and the 2nd Help the Hatters Car Boot Sale at Booth Street Car Park. Volunteers are required to help out on the day so if you are available to help out, please could you let Angela Moore know.  Help is required between 6am and 1pm Angela's mobile number is 07867856394





Moving on to Thursday 5 May and we arrive at the first Edgeley Park Working Party of the Close Season and a big turn out is expected to report to the Railway End entrance for 6.30pm- be one of the team!




Still looking ahead ...Saturday 30 April sees County's last match of the 2015/16 season , and Help the Hatters will be on hand as usual in the Bung creating a good atmosphere and helping to boost the Players Fund.
Recent Saturday's in the Bung have seen County supporters responding well to appeals by Help the Hatters in charitable causes.....Our game on 28 March against AFC Fylde saw fans in the Bung raise a total of £190 for a Cancer Charity in response to the effort by 7 Fylde supporters who had cycled twixt the 2 competing towns to raise dosh for the worthy cause.
Then....moving on to 16 April and before the match v Corby County supporters raised a massive £185.56 for the Bobby Moore Cancer collection- another terrific effort, well done all!
Meanwhile ...before this...on 12 April, Help the Hatters were again in attendance at the County Reserve game against New Mills, won resoundingly 5-1 by County.
  

Pre match and at half time Help the Hatters could be seen providing complimentary refreshments on site, and as usual this went down a treat with County fans and those from New Mills.  




   
And so to Tuesday the 19th, and it was back to Booth Street to hopefully finish off the tidy up operation via Help the Hatters 2016 Lit Pic 2.





Kip was at the Club doing some of what he does in his day job, whilst another decent turnout of 15  got to work at 6 with the sun blazing down from above.





A prodigious amount of detritus was again shifted and burnt on site, and I must say the results  should please the Council, but will it please them enough to persuade them to site some litter bins around the place , after all it is used  each week by the college for parking, and that ,in my view, is the major source of the litter.



No matter.... here's  some more pics from Tuesday.....

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
