Stockport County Charity Road Trip

[sandbachhatter]

Good evening from a Stockport County fan!


I hope you don’t mind me joining your forum and posting, but I wanted to make you aware of a charity event taking place next month.


On June 25th, myself (‘Sandbach Hatter’) and a chap called Gareth Evans (‘Hatter in Macc’ - who does all of County’s match reports and live tweeting during games), will be embarking on an epic road trip, as we attempt to visit all 22 Conference North grounds from the 2015/16 season, in just one weekend.


We will leave County’s Edgeley Park ground around 8am on the Saturday morning, and hope to return about 9pm the following evening – having travelled just under 1,000 miles in between.


We’re raising funds for a Greater Manchester based children’s cancer charity, Kidscan, and donations can be made via our Just Giving page – www.justgiving.com/bigroadtrip2016.


Whilst any donations will be very gratefully received, the main reason for contacting you is that we would like to meet as many fans from other clubs as possible, as we travel around the country. Our itinerary, subject to traffic, is as follows:

Thanks for reading, and good luck for next season!

Hi Greg,
That is an impressive road trip your are planning and hats off to you both. Something you might want to consider, we as you may recall played at Kidderminster Harriers, Aggborough ground last season and we will be playing the coming season at Bromsgrove Sportings ground which was the former Bromsgrove Rovers ground. Just so any Worcester fans who may wish to meet you and cheer you on your way know, where do you hope or plan to meet any fans from our club? At Kiddiminster, Bromsgrove or somewhere in Worcester. It sadly cannot be our old ground as that is now a new housing estate.
Maybe when you have had a bit more time to finalise your plans you could send us another message with a suggested meeting point.
Wishing you all the best.

Evening mate.

Thanks for the reply. We're doing all the grounds from the season just finished, so will be using Aggborough for your good selves if anyone would like to say hi.

(Yes, I'm well aware that doing it next season would have saved us some mileage - bloody Lowestoft!)

Hope to meet some of you on our travels.

Evening,

Just over two weeks to go until we set off on our road trip! We would love to meet some fans at every club, so if anyone thinks they may be able to pop along to say 'hi' and have a photo taken with us, please drop me a line to [e-mail].

There's also still time to donate - www.justgiving.com/bigroadtrip2016. Any donation will be very gratefully received, and will help us try and reach our target.

Hope to see some of you there!

Sandy

Afternoon all

Last message from me - you will be pleased to hear!

Just a quick note to thank everyone for their support so far. We have now passed our target of raising £1,500 for Kidscan (in fact, we have now flown past £1,600) but anyone still wishing to donate can do so here:

www.justgiving.com/bigroadtrip2016

Or, alternatively, we would love to meet some of you when we visit over the weekend - and you can drop any loose change into one of our collecting buckets.

Come along, say hi, and get your photo taken!

Hope to see you there.

Greg
