Help the Hatters Monday Report- June 2019

By -











Monday Report.

The sun was shining at Edgeley Park this morning as Help the Hatters turned up in good numbers for a crack at a multiplicity of tasks under the gaffership of John Gaskin.



John soon set about getting the paint ready for the first painting session ( not counting the brilliantly unstinting efforts with brush paint and scraper consistently carried out by Anne and Jan.

John then joined Keith under the roof of the Pop Side applying the first coat of grey to the steps.




Meanwhile Dot re-joined the cleaning of the Upper Tier seats in the Cheadle End with Edd. 


 




Oh….and rumour has it that Fitzy has been talking to a Falconer with a eye on the bird s@@t situation !








All this time Ray  and Broderick made a start on clearing detritus from near the exit door at the rear of the Railway End with a view to the upcoming concerts , with Terry...................





 who also made a punt for the refreshment portfolio by preparing the brew !






And……Mike O was busy mowing……





.................whilst…fresh from meeting HMQ at the Palace Anne and Jan , having done the prep , made a start on the corridor beneath the Cheadle End stand.





Sadly…one person is missing from the raft of photos here, namely Jim. Fearing not a further threat of a writ, the writer did try and locate Mr T  who had started early on a lone litter pick, for a photo op`, but without success- perhaps next time !


Thanks to all who showed today!


Next session is Wednesday at 6pm( Painting and Seat Cleaning  on the menu). John G will be in EP from 10 am on Thursday also , so …if you fancy that just turn up !

Finally…..

With the `big gigs` upcoming at Edgeley Park in June, the Club are looking for a team of volunteers who could be on hand to help if required.
The exact fine detail of the job will be clarified later, but if you can assist by fulfilling this role on all or any of the days concerned, please email hedgegrower@gmail.com
The days are:- Thursday 20 June, Friday 21 June and Saturday 22 June.

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
