Stockport County: Another sad demise of a club however, which has light at the end of the tunnel with the Stockport County Supporters’ Co-operative heavily involved.
Saturday night might be party time for Whigfield but it is when Gary Ablett’s upbeat demeanour is most likely to slip, usually after the Stockport manager has returned home and started to pick the bones out of another defeat. (more…)
Supporters Direct have posted an article on their website about the various HMRC cases that are coming to court at the moment. It’s a good read, and contains a lot of links to related articles.
Personally speaking, I like them about as much as I like any other team wearing black and white stripes, but I’ve got a huge amount of sympathy for their fans right now.
“What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.”

David James: This is the strangest January in football I’ve ever known
I heard a very interesting report on Radio 5 yesterday about football’s greatest club achievers. You might think Man U, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal maybe but you would be a million miles away.
It’s a debate that can be heard every week in every ground, pub and living room around the country: whether your favourite team, or your biggest rivals, have under-achieved or over-achieved. A short article was available in the Scotsman however, the main report was commissioned by The New Football Pools and you can view the whole report there.
Thought long and hard about which club?
Okay, I’ll put you out of your misery it’s ………………………… Doncaster Rovers!

Another article from The Guardian’s David Conn. Does he ever write bad articles???
The 200% blog is well worth reading. There’s an article on there about how the current economic situation could affect football, and while their article focuses on the English Premiership, the issue is just as relevant in SFL Division Two.
Thought this was quite an interesting insight into life as a manager and in team selection. Maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to criticise the manager when we don’t know the full story. See Paul Fletcher’s blog here.
