Help the Hatters Update 29

By -


With the 2013/14 season rapidly drawing to a close, I thought that a brief update was called for, so....here we go ( all pics, bar the first 3, used in this update kindly provided by Darren Berry).......
Car Boots.
There are 2 car boot events being organised by Help the Hatters during April.
The first is this coming Sunday 6th April , followed by Friday 18th. Both these valuable fund raisers take place on the Booth Street Car Park commencing at 06.00 on both days, going on until 13.00.
No one is expected to do a full shift , or indeed necessarily turn out at 06.00, any  stretch of time you can manage to donate to us  will be very helpful and much appreciated. To help organiser Angela Moore  , if you can help on either day please  email or phone her on:-

Legends 
Help the Hatters took 2 tables at the recent Legends event at Edgeley Park,





 and supporters were well pleased to get the opportunity to see and listen to 2 true County Legends- Tony Dinning and  Mike Flynn. 



Those present enjoyed the event, I am advised, none more so than Pat, who won the `heads/ tails' thingy!
Pat`s a winner !
Asked about his best memories from his playing days, Tony Dinning said ` playing for Stockport County'....and he meant it! 

Legends !

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
