Stockport County Fan Power?

Jim Gannon with other County fans are about to launch (on November 5th) a bid to raise enough money to buy a controlling share in Stockport County Football Cub.

This is what is reported on the back page of this weeks Stockport Express (out now, only 50p and giving you the chance to vote for your superstar pet.)

Gannon calls for ‘each fan past and present’ to help build a future for SCFC.

There is little detail in the article but if the other rumoured consortia are not now stepping forward to buy out the current incumbents this would seem like ‘last chance saloon’ for the club.

There are many questions up in the air though.

Just what constitutes a controlling share? 51%, 75%?

How much would need to be raised and by when?

Just what would the fans be getting? No ground of course so how would the club exist going forward?

Could the ground be bought back from Cheshire Sports? And would the council care to help?

Is Jim a figurehead? Or one of the rank and file? If successful would Jim Gannon be involved at board level or at a managerial level of both?

I hope that the November 5th meeting answers these and other fans concerns and that most importantly all County fans become aware of what is being attempted so that they can decide whether to help.

As things stand, there are more questions than answers.

I’ll leave you with this
