Newsletter- 16 September 2022. With the highly successful seventh Stockport Hatters Half Marathon in our locker and likely to add circa £2000 to our push towards the Danny Bergara Statue Appeal target of £50000 we are now definitely on schedule in that respect and remain committed to other efforts to ensure the statue is erected at Edgeley Park! Meet the Sculptor Evening. Arrangements are advancing well in respect of the visit to Stockport of Hannah Stewart the sculptor who won the commission to produce the statue. Hannah will be in town on the 29 September for a `Meet the Sculptor` event in the Hardcastle Suite at Edgeley Park (Doors 7pm for 7.30) to give a presentation of her work and an update on progress on the statue to date. You will be able to ask Hannah questions , and we will have a raffle on the night with some good prizes with a view to boosting the statue appeal. Our Remaining Calendars. We are on the Grassy Knoll alongside the Cheadle End turnstiles before County`s home games to sell the remaining stock of our unique ` SCSC Season Fixture Calendars` in support of the statue fund starting tomorrow between 1.15 and 2.15 before the game with Harrogate Town. The calendar is just £10 which you can pay in cash or use our QR code to pay via your smart phone. Bucket Collection- 1 October ( County v Walsall) Additionally, the Club have granted permission for us to hold a bucket collection at the Walsall match on October 1, in support of the statue appeal, and with your support that day we will get within reasonable striking distance of our target. Anonymous Supporters Comes Up Trumps! The bucket collection starts October off nicely, but thanks to an anonymous supporter we have another effort in place that will run throughout October. Simply put, our anonymous supporter has indicated that if we appeal for donations to the statue appeal, they will match every donation from individual supporters during October to a maximum total outlay from him/her of £1000. Further details will follow. With generous offers like this and your support we WILL get that statue erected at Edgeley Park! Join Us / Check Your Membership.

Stockport County Supporters Cooperative Newsletter- 23 September 2022 The Week Ahead….. A significant week awaits us, and the Supporters Cooperative has been busy setting it up. Firstly, on Thursday 29 September we are pleased to invite you to our Meet the Sculptor Evening. We are delighted to confirm that Hannah Stewart the sculptor who won the commission to produce the Danny Bergara Statue will be in town to meet you. The event in the Hardcastle Suite at Edgeley Park is free to enter (Doors 7pm for 7.30) and Hannah will give a presentation of her work and an update on progress on the statue to date. You will be able to ask Hannah questions, and we will have a raffle on the night with some good prizes with a view to boosting the statue appeal. ........................ Bucket Collection- 1 October ( County v Walsall) The Club have granted permission for Help the Hatters and ourselves to hold a bucket collection at the Walsall match on Saturday October 1, in support of the statue appeal, and with your support that day we will get within reasonable striking distance of our target. ........................ Looking Back to Last Week…. We were dismayed to witness the appalling conduct of a noisy minority of those present in the upper tiers of the Cheadle End during the match with Harrogate Town. With the team needing support, those individuals chose to revert to times best forgotten with a series of lamentable sectarian chants. In this respect we commend the Club for the prompt statement they issued in response- this was spot on, as was the widespread condemnation of the sectarian abuse from the thoughtful majority of County supporters on message boards and social media generally which mirrored the Supporters Cooperative view and signalled loudly that there is a will to ensure this obnoxious behaviour does not prevail! ………………………………………..

Bucket Collection Tomorrow, ( County v Walsall) The Club have granted permission for us to hold a bucket collection at the Walsall match on Saturday in support of the Danny Bergara Statue appeal. We are pleased to say that Help the Hatters will be joining us again and with your fantastic support we can get within reasonable striking distance of our target and get that statue erected outside Edgeley Park. ……………………………… Meet the Sculptor Evening. This was the moment we had been waiting for since the campaign to erect a statue in memory of the amazing Danny Bergara was launched- our chosen sculptor the excellent award-winning Hannah Stewart was in Stockport to meet County supporters and update us as to progress on the statue. Held in the Hardcastle Suite at Edgeley Park last night, if the evening wasn`t a `sell- out` a decent number made it to the venue despite the lack of signage at County`s HQ, and the general opinion offered afterwards by those present was that it was a massively worthwhile experience and a confidence builder confirming that we really will get that statue in place in the very near future. Hannah came by train for her second visit to Edgeley Park, from her home in Horsham with her husband Simon and it was a delight to see Simon and Lorna Bergara enjoying a pre-event chat at the bar. During an illuminating presentation Hannah produced sketches of the proposed statue pose which is being worked on. She expects to be working on it until around January time before the moulds will then go to the foundry to be cast into bronze, following a scrupulous consultation process- making end of this season a definite possibility for statue erection. Thanks to Nick Lee who hosted the event for the evening introducing Supporters Cooperative Chair Pete Towey and former players Paul Wheeler and Paul Jones who each spoke with pride of Danny in the 90`s and his profound effect on County`s fortunes. Supporters were able to ply Hannah and the players with questions and the applause was loud and long following this. As mentioned above , there will be much necessary consultation twixt sculptor/ the Supporters Cooperative and the Bergara Family before the statue is erected, ensuring the end product is spot on. We will supply more detailed information on the presentation and much that is mentioned above soon. ………………………. Upcoming in October. Starting on Sunday we have an interesting project that could add as much as £2000 to our statue appeal total. Await further news Sunday! Join Us / Check Your Membership.

Anonymous Supporter`s Generous Offer Off to a Great Start! The terrifically generous offer from an anonymous County supporter to match every donation between £5 and £20 to the Danny Bergara Statue Appeal from individual supporters during October to a total maximum outlay for him/her of £1000, has got off to a great start thanks to the support of County fans anxious to get us closer to our target. As at 13.00 today £200 in individual donations of either £5, £10 or £20 had been received and that figure will be matched as promised. This is brilliant- thank you! If we could attract say 40 donations of £5, this would add another £200 which again would be matched by our generous anonymous supporter. You can make your donation here:- www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/dannybergara …………………………………………. Sculptor Hannah Stewart`s Updated Statue Presentation Document- Including Section on the Danny Bergara Statue. Following the highly successful and enjoyable presentation given last Thursday evening by sculptor Hannah Stewart, Hannah has now updated the presentation document of her work to include a section on the Danny Bergara Statue. You can read this interesting document here:- www.countysupporterscoop.co.uk/_files/ugd/22258b_cfd7d46ba23a4f999c22fe23195c94b5.pdf

If you are supporting this effort and opt to be anonymous, please ensure that you leave the amount you are donating showing to enable it to be recorded by us. If we cannot verify the amount is £20 or under, whilst we will try to work out the value, with multiple anons it may be a problem.
Thank you.

The campaign initiated in response to the generous offer from an anonymous County supporter to match every donation between £5 and £20 to the Danny Bergara Statue Appeal from individual supporters during October to a total maximum outlay for him/her of £1000, has been well supported so far by County fans , and we were delighted this morning to see that Supporters Cooperative member in Japan Akito Aoki`s donation had taken the total donations in this effort so far to £335( + matching donation of same amount). That`s really brilliant – thank you Akito ( image courtesy of Andrew Machin )! We are seeking to raise another £665 in donations from individual supporters between now and the end of October( They must be either £5, £10 or £20) and thus add £2000 to the statue appeal.
