Help the Hatters Programme Fair Another Big Success !

 

Despite the early start, yesterday was a real pleasure turning out at the 1883 Suite for the now annual Help the Hatters Football Programme & Memorabilia Fair.

The event, as usual, was organised by Edd Powell and he did a cracking job of it attracting 18 stall holders to the effort which ran like clockwork . Many of these are regulars and know how good it all is and they were not disappointed with over 140 punters attracted inside the 1883 over the 3 hours.


 

 

 

Help the Hatters made an early decision some months ago to donate all the proceeds from the Fair to the Danny Bergara Statue Appeal, and we are delighted to confirm that the total raised was a brilliant £740.......

 

 Melanie & David in selling mode !

 

.........and we congratulate Edd and all the Help the Hatters team who turned out and worked so hard for this excellent result!

Melanie and David did a terrific job on the Help the Hatters stall which cleared over £200 – a fantastic effort!

 


 

 

 

 

Not far away from Mel & David ,Jules & Dave were ensuring light refreshments were available using brew facilities provided by Ralph- top job team!


 

 

 

 

 

 

We were absolutely delighted that Simon Bergara was able to join us and support the event- it gave the Help the Hatters team a great lift to see him there and meet him- an absolute gent!

We did a raffle with some neat prizes and this raised £83.


 

 

 

 

 

The winners were as follows:-

Bottle of County Gin – Phil Clarke.

Framed Aerial View EP- Ian Wilson

County Mug- Ian Wilson

 

 Simon Bergara did a great job making the prize draw and presentations for us- thank you Simon!

 

 Simon picks the winners !

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was significant that no one dashed for the exit early- most stall holders stayed to beyond 1 o`clock – a measure of the events success!

 

So …another thank you to Simon ……congratulations again to Edd on behalf of Help the Hatters for another belter… more thanks to the Help the Hatters team for efforts above and beyond ( as usual)…and a final word of thanks to the Club who donated the use of the room to us at no charge- and helped by arranging for a lady to help us clean up early doors with the 1883 in party mode on Saturday ( thanks to this unidentified lady also- great job!)

 

Here`s to the next time then- do not be at all tempted to miss it!

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

Stockport County 4 Accrington Stanley 2 ( Football League 2) Saturday 20 April 2024

          A friend captured the situation nicely as we both descended the steps at the Cheadle End “ there are not many days like that” he said ,and he hit the spot perfectly, we had both just come away from a County game that finished as a party as County disposed of the challenge from Accrington Stanley with a comfortable 4-2 win, and the old place dissolved in a glorious mix of excitement, and emotion as the blues were presented with the League 2 Championship trophy! I say that it was comfortable, but I thought Accrington made a good fist of competing at times, in the end beaten by another clutch of top-class goals- 2 from Wootton , who I thought edged M.O.M ,and one each from   Evans and Sarcevic which did the biz for Dave Challinor`s boys. Their 8 th win in succession took County`s points tally with one match remaining to a mammoth 92 points- still 7 clear of the rest and set up a spectacularly good party on the pitch after the final whistle -more on this later in the repor
