An Ode To The Protest March. by Phil Brennan

On the brink



The ‘protest’ march is on this week, and for those who may ask Why?

It’s to raise the public’s awareness, that ‘our’ club is about to die

Mr. Curtis and Co. please take note, you were brought in to help us survive

But since you took control of things, our fortunes have taken a ‘dive’



‘no news is bad news’ these days, and rumours seem to confirm our fears

That Stockport County FC, are to disappear after 126 years

We are powerless to defend the club, as the end appears ever nearer

All we want is to be told the truth, and for the picture to be clearer



It doesn’t matter anymore, what put our club into administration

What we all just need, and want, is an end to all this frustration

So if the march achieves one thing, and let’s hope it’s some good news

Like the guaranteed future in the Football League, of our beloved ‘blues’



I’m sure I speak for many a fan, in that I’d be happy with a reprieve

And then maybe, the club can appoint some leaders in who we can believe

But first things first, and on with the march, we need someone to hear our voice

To stop the slow and painful death, of our football club of choice



The first call is at Stockport Town Hall, and a council leader we can’t rely on

Mr. Goddard shows no support, as he speaks with his ‘man city’ tie on

He states the importance of the club to the town, but there’s no cash for us at all

Especially as the council has just spent a load of dosh, renovating an old ‘bingo hall’



Then on to Manchester, passed the PFA, then to Leonard Curtis for some answers

Especially about the £300 an hour, they charge to ‘look after’ the clubs finances

Yes Wednesday is a big day for our club, the message shouted from the paving

Will be that Stockport County FC, is very much a football club worth saving.
