Wow…… Again as Help the Hatters Smash It at the Fair !

 

On a weekend where County wowed us at Brisbane Road on Saturday, it was Help the Hatters turn yesterday in the 1883 Suite with their `Programme & Memorabilia Fair`.

It was an absolute belter superbly organised and put together by Help the Hatters hard working Edd Powell the event raised a massive £1331 in support of the Danny Bergara Statue Appeal.

 

 


 

It was another case of the County Family coming together to do something that was worth doing and that magnificent sum will help no end in paying those late statue bills.

The event, as mentioned above, is a belter and regularly attracts a large field of seasoned dealers who take pitches inside the 1883.

Every one of them know how many commercial beans make five and are there to make a profit but, and this must be largely down to Edd`s knack of getting the organisation spot on whilst  making everyone feel at home , the friendly atmosphere generated within the pitch operators contributes hugely to a brilliantly relaxing 3 hours!

Help the Hatters were in the 1883, along with the dealers, at the 8 am opening time and at this point we would like to thank the Club for their part in the successful day.

 


 

 

 The Club allowed us use of1883 Suite gratis, and we were particularly glad of the loan of the urn that facilitated many a cup of tea or coffee ( for a donation )- close on £100 was raised via this method by Dot, Angela and Ray!

 


 

 

 

 

Angela of course produced one of her famous cakes which was well received and consumed quickly.


 

 

 

 

Help the Hatters had one of the larger pitches on view, David Wright on duty mostly and it did well, as did Simon on the raffle who raised £87!

 


 

 

 

 

Also there early doors were the Supporters Cooperative and their pitch raised a record total of £416 which is included in the £1331 mentioned earlier.

 


 

 

 

 

With the statue unveiling nearing fast ( be on the C/E car park for 9.50 on May 8 ) it was good to see Simon Bergara in the 1883 and in good form!

 


 

 

 

A weary tidy up post 1 pm and it was time to head off home with memories of a fantastic event to savour!

Well done Edd Powell for the brilliant organisation and to the Help the Hatters crew for their usual dedication and thoroughness!

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
