“What an amazing time I’ve had this season 24/25 following Stockport County. I’ve travelled up and down the country supporting my team & enjoyed every game. Plus, I’ve met some lovely people along the way, you know who you are. 💙 ( Editor - thanks Angela!)

Thank you Stockport County Football Club, can’t wait for the fixtures to come out and for the rollercoaster to start again.”

So wrote Angela Moore on her facebook page at season`s end , but by 21 May this was what the hard working Help the Hatters activist wrote

“Such a great privilege to attend a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace yesterday with John Gaskin, representing Help The Hatters. ⚽️💙 ( Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service recipients in 2020)”.

 

 


 

 

Angela at the behest of the Lord Chancellor and HMK, had , with Help the Hatters supremo John Gaskin, experienced  a rather more genteel rollercoaster negotiating the perils of travelling to and around the nation`s capitol to finally receive the acknowledgement on behalf of Help the Hatters- the group had , until now, been denied by Covid and the aftermath of same).


 

Asked to  comment further on what was obviously an amazing day Angela offered  “Myself & John were very lucky to have walked through the gates of Buckingham Palace ( representing HTH) to enjoy the Buckingham Palace Garden Party 2025!”

 


 

 

 

And Help the Hatters thank Angela and John for taking time out to represent us so well!

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 ...
