Dear County fans, Stopfordians, Huddersfield supporters, and anyone else from The Football Family joining us today, a very warm welcome to your Friday edition of The Scarf My Father Wore.

I travelled to a County away game with Edgeley Con Club Coaches for the first time yesterday. One of the passengers vomited everywhere on the journey home, but I still had a pleasant trip. Here’s 27 photos from my trip to Yorkshire.

Today’s edition is sponsored by Conexus Tuition Cheadle Hulme, Handforth & Wilmslow. A big thank you to Lauren.

Thanks also to Gag N Bone Man Comedy who sponsor our Huddersfield Town content on the website.

Finally, I’m currently walking every street in Stockport to raise money for mental health charity Mentell. If you’d like to make a donation to help me reach my target, please click here.

Total distance so far: 192.73 miles

Total steps so far: 311,804

Total raised so far: £2,192

Have you ever wanted to try stand up comedy? Are you "the funny one" in your social circle? Want to get on stage but don't know where to start?

Gag N Bone Man Comedy have a new course starting next month, which includes eight weekly workshops covering everything you need to know from how to write your material to which end of the microphone to speak into. Then at the end of the course you’ll perform your first routine at a Sheffield comedy venue!

Edgeley Park, Stockport

Nipped over to Edgeley Park earlier today to collect my Rotherham ticket. Thought I’d capture a misty, gloomy shot of EP.

#81 – Danny Adams, Huddersfield

After joining from Macclesfield Town, Danny Adams made his County debut in March 2004 under Sammy McIlroy, in a 2-0 victory at home to Bristol City. The Mancunian full-back made 43 appearances for the Hatters (scoring once) before moving to Huddersfield.
