Important Clarification on October Matching Donation Campaign It is good to see that in just 12 days we have reached £515 in individual donations between £5 and £20 which will be matched by our anonymous supporter. Please note that if you opt for an anonymous donation please do not elect to also not publish the amount on the Just Giving account. If you do this we may well not be able to identify the item and exclude it from the figures we pass to our benefactor. Thank you for your support and help with this.

The First £500 Donated Now Matched, and a Message from Our Anonymous Supporter! Look at the statue Just Giving account today and you will see that the first £500 of your October donations ( between £5 and £20) have been matched by an exactly similar donation from our anonymous supporter who sent us this message………. “I wanted my donation to the statue appeal fund to work a bit harder and thanks to the great body of County fans the idea to try and match up lots of smaller donations certainly appears to have worked as we get nearer and nearer to fully funding what I guess will probably be the first statue to a man from Uruguay erected in this country, Thanks to all of you who have been inspired to donate by the matching up idea, I am sure we will reach that “2,000 total between us by the end of the month”.

Big Boost from Mark Stott! The Danny Bergara Statue Appeal received a most welcome boost this week when Stockport County owner Mark Stott weighed in with a very substantial donation! That is simply excellent news and supplements the massive support the campaign has been receiving from County supporters magnificently! This pushes us closer to our £50k target but we are by no means there yet and with bills for essential costs( stone for plinth, statue siting costs for drilling, fitting & installing etc )pending, continued support for the appeal from supporters is crucial to seeing us there! Our aim is to have the statue erected at Edgeley Park by the end of this current season and we will be having discussions on the subject this week with the Club, and will be reporting thereafter. Meanwhile please keep the appeal momentum going. The `October Match Your Donation` effort has 12 days to run and you will know that our anonymous supporter has already matched the first £500 of your donations (of either £5, £10 or £20 only), and as at this morning we were up to £650. Please keep this effort going, your support is really appreciated and crucial to the success of this campaign! You can donate here:- www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/dannybergara

Danny`s Shell Suit- Do You Have One? Award winning sculptor Hannah Stewart is well on with work on the Danny Bergara Statue which is planned to be erected outside Edgeley Park before our last game of the season against Hartlepool United on 6 May. The chosen pose for the statue uses the image of Danny with cap in his upraised hand outside the Town Hall celebrating County`s promotion in 1990-91. Seeking to get every detail spot on, Hannah has tried , without success so far, to locate a replica of the shell suit worn by Danny on that occasion. Do you have one identical to the shell suit in the attached image that you can loan to Hannah? If so, please email johngiles20@hotmail.com

The image you've posted is not from that season, mate, as Danny's wearing Gola gear in that photo. Indeed, some of the fans in the background are wearing the Gola blue and red shirt too.
As far as I can recall, the Gola gear wasn't available to buy in the club shop until well after the 1991/92 (old Division Three) season had started, and we even played some, if not all of our pre-season matches in the 1990/91 Gordon Ford kits.
I hope this helps, mate.

Wasn't there a reception in 1992 to celebrate our two trips to Wembley? That memory (although am happy to be corrected on it) and Gazz's point about the Gola kit (definitely 1991/92) would date the picture for me.

Help! ……Stuck on £670! Thanks to our anonymous supporter and the generosity of County supporters we have already added £1000 to the Danny Bergara Statue Appeal. With just 7 days remaining until this matching offer ends, we have reached £670 and are in need of another boost from you out there! Between us can we rustle up another £330 in donations that must be twixt £5 and £20? That would see us there and trigger a second matching donation of £500. And this is very important as we get nearer to our goal of getting that statue erected. We are £2-3000 away from our £50k target but with costs pending for essential elements such as the statue base and plinth it is vital that we do not ease off on our fund-raising efforts. County supporters have been brilliant in that respect throughout this campaign. Please help us keep it going – thank you! www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/dannybergara

CAN YOU READ THIS? THAT SHELL SUIT WAS NOT FROM THE 1990/91 PROMOTION CELEBRATIONS!
I actually sent you a PM too that's also been ignored. Jesus f***ing wept.

4 Days To Go- £160 Needed! The October `Match Your Donation` Initiative inspired & supported by our anonymous County supporter has 4 days to run. You have made £840 in donations between £5 & £20 to get us this far, we need just another £160 in donations of £20 or under to make it to £2000 when the matching donations are added. Our unknown benefactor has already tipped in £500 of the £840, can you help ensure his next donation is of the same amount? (Remember please, the initiative only runs to end of October and a further £160 in donations takes us to the anonymous supporters maximum commitment.) www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/dannybergara

We are just £30 away from our 2 x £1000 target- 3 x £10 would do it, but donations must be £20 or below to count.

Well Done and Thank You !
We are pleased to confirm that the effort to raise £2000 in October, fuelled by the superbly generous promise from an anonymous County supporter to match all donations of £20 or under to a max commitment of £1000 , has resulted in a 100% success as today, `Imposter` and `Just Another Fan ` responded to our early morning call and saw us to our target of £1000 in individual donations as described above! Massive thanks and congratulations to everyone who got behind this effort ( and I know of more than one who did so on several occasions!) and saw it through to a really excellent result. A huge vote of thanks goes also to our anonymous supporter for their inspirational idea and generosity! We are getting closer to our target now, but we must emphasise that with bills and quotes now coming in for vital elements in this wonderful project, we still need to keep pressing on with the fund raising for now. With your magnificent support continuing we are confident of siting what will be a superb tribute to Danny outside Edgeley Park by the end of this current season. Stockport County Supporters Cooperative.
