COUNTY SUPPORTERS COOPERATIV­E

- BY IAN BROWN

THE board of the Supporters Cooperativ­e held their first meeting of the new year a couple of days ago.

Fixing a date for the Special General Meeting( SGM) was the board’s first concern, and this will go ahead at 7pm on 26 February at the Spinning Top.

We need a minimum of 20 members to be present for this to go ahead thus members are urged to attend if they are able!

Meanwhile, the accounts are now back from our Auditors and will be sent out to members shortly along with the relevant documents for the SGM.

We are anxious to represent the views of County Supporters, and on 29 January we will be meeting the Club reporting back to members and the fan base thereafter,

Supporters’ views are important to us hence we will also be asking them a series of questions via our ‘Consultati­on Exercise’.

Discussion at the board meeting focused on a number of issues including the important matter of ensuring ticket prices (walk-up and season ticket) at Edgeley Park are affordable, so fans can expect something on this within the Consultati­on Exercise.

Alongside this, we will be producing a brochure hoping to increase awareness of just what we do, and some promotiona­l merchandis­e may follow tied into our membership drive.

On other matters it was decided, with regret, that after 8 highly successful years the Supporters Cooperativ­e will no longer promote and organise the Stockport Hatters Half Marathon.

The race was a fantastic event and a marvellous showcase for the Cooperativ­e, the Club and our brilliant town, as well as another substantia­l feather in Race Director John Giles’ cap!

Finally, and on a happier note our ‘Evening with Osher Williams & Tommy Sword’ is almost sold out!
