Evening all.
I hope everyone is wrapped up well for what promises to be a chilling encounter at EP. No doubt Barrow will provide a wheely stern test (get used to these jokes, I have loads).
Since our last article, Sirius has been triumphant in the predictions competition for October (which makes a change from her usual position, propping up the table) and Archie won my quiz. If you read the Stalybridge piece, I asked what Robert Earnshaw, Dean Whitehead, Sylvain Legwinski and Alun Armstrong have in common. The answer, of course, is that their surnames all contain body parts! It has since been pointed out to me that FrANK LEboef is a far better example of this...
Elsewhere on County Heaven, Downy has expressed his hatred of a certain TV chef (you’ll have to pay us a visit to find out who) and the issue of refereeing has again reared its ugly head in the light of recent goings-on at Stamford Bridge. Interesting that Sir Alex appears to have rested Howard Webb for this fixture... (Disclaimer: the views of Sandbach Hatter are not necessarily those of Stockport County Football Club.)
Maccy?

Yes indeed, Sandy...the evening temperatures will be some way short of a Furness tonight! Arf.
Very warm greetings all the same to our visitors who will have wended their way here from one of English football’s great geographical outposts. County fans thinking of going along to the reverse-fixture at Holker Street will arguably need to be even more intrepid when the time comes, given that it falls on a Tuesday night in January!
We may also have the opportunity to welcome back one Danny M Rowe (and, possibly, to revive the old chant of “There’s only two Danny Rowes” if our own ‘Danny L’ plays tonight). ‘Danny M’ has already opened his goalscoring account for the Bluebirds. One of his successful strikes, just over a week ago, being not only an impressive lob - but also virtually his first touch of a game in which, as coincidence would have it, he came on as a substitute for fellow County old boy, Sean McConville.
Goals have certainly not been in short supply following our last home League match over three weeks ago: seventeen of them, in fact, spread over a trilogy of games which have seen County pick up a useful point (should have been three, mind) at Lincoln, and win one and lose one in the Cup. Time, as they say, to concentrate on the League again after crashing out at Southend - although there’s always the FA Trophy...
Enjoy the game.
Animo et fide.
