Really upsets me that this statue has been left to minuscule fundraising. It’s sad and depressing and a blot on his his name that as a fan base we can’t get a big haul in and get this statue sorted and built quickly. Even Rochdale did. I’m almost tempted to say to the owners get it sorted, at least then it’s done, means f*ck all to them. Means the world to us. They should do it. Or the fans are going to take 15 years to do it. It’s depressing, Danny deserves much more. Already it should be at the Armoury roundabout paid for by the council. We should have several. But it isn’t. We should’ve loads all around Edgeley. f*cking tw*ts. Durango, whilst this is a fans initiative, the Club are providing their support to this campaign. County have said we can have a bucket collection for the Notts County game and they are also looking at helping us arrange a friendly. If we can arrange a friendly in the summer, it will be a game changer and take us to within striking distance of our target. We also have circa £2,300 from the Hatter Half to go into the fund, which will put us around £15k. Just waiting on a final invoice. It won't certainly won't take 15 years to achieve our target (with or without the Club)! Rochdale's campaign was different to ours and they had a much lower target. The Co-op do have a preferred sculptor in mind, who has an extremely impressive portfolio. We feel that we need to do a statue of Danny justice and we don't want to take risks. Hope to provide more details of the sculptor shortly, but we just need more confidence that we will achieve our target before going public. Once a friendly is arranged, that would probably be a good time. Sorry. *don’t post when pissed.*

Good boost for the Danny Bergara fund over the weekend;
County away shirt worn by Danny leading County out at Wembley against Peterborough sold for £850
Kate O'Brien original painting of the Main Stand sold for £250
Rochdale (All In One) home shirt 1987 - 88 season won for £220 (less eBay fees and postage)
Rochdale (All In One) away shirt 1988 - 89 season won for £256 (less eBay fees and postage)
Will see the Danny fund boosted by around £1,500, plus the sale of mugs at the Grimsby game which has added another £100.
Absolutely fantastic price for Danny's Wembley shirt!

2021……… There are but a few days left of this year, to many….maybe most of us… a year to forget. That said , the Supporters Cooperative have been working hard this last 12 months and we have received heartening support. Last week saw us raise £312.40 in just one hour and 45 minutes in support of the Wellspring thanks to superb support from County fans. We also announced that we had raised £1100 via our Make Us An Offer Xmas Double Header, and we can now raise that figure to £1135 as the anonymous supporter upped his top offer to £285 for the Kate O`Brien original artwork – a fantastic gesture that will take the Danny Bergara Statue Appeal beyond £15000. In reality though the appeal fund figure is way passed £15k or will be shortly when the £2k+ from the Hatters Half Marathon, and receipts from recent E Bay shirt sales are added- £18k will be in touching distance, and it is down to the support of County fans! Keep it going! www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/dannybergara………………………………………… Just 20 Left Now ! Yes, we have sold all barring 20 of the 200 Limited Edition Mugs depicting the old Railway End Gates. Every penny of every mug sold goes to the Danny Bergara Statue Appeal and we have thus far donated circa £1800 by this means. We will again be on the Grassy Knoll, next to the Cheadle End turnstiles, from 1 o`clock until 2.30 before Sunday`s cracker of a game with Alty. This will be your last chance to obtain one of these iconic items….do not miss out….get yours on Sunday….for just £10 ! ……………………………………. 2022…… Members can check their account details, and if you are not a member of the Stockport County Supporters Cooperative, we invite you to join us here…….. webcollect.org.uk/coop……..and we borrow the work of Andrew Machin ( AM Photography) to wish you the very best of new years ! Stockport County Supporters Cooperative.

Is this the best place to suggest questions for the forthcoming meeting with the club? The latest update from the Co-Op says members have been asked for ideas but I haven't seen anything recently.

While we’re here, any update on pushing the statue?
IIRCit was kicked off with £4k, it now stands at £16k, so £12k in 7 months. Might be a long old haul to get to £50k without some big initiatives.
