A full list of the 25 winners in our December prize giveaway
As we face a second consecutive weekend without any County action, here’s a few festive treats to cheer up some of you
Friday 16 December 2022
No home banker against League Two’s bottom team. No Christmas Dinner in a Cup. No Phil Bardsley debut. There’s a little bit of doom and gloom today isn’t there, with our tasty-looking Saturday falling victim to the cold weather. Fear not, Santa Des is here to lift your spirits. He’s loaded up his random number generator on Twitter, and all the remaining prizes in our December giveaway have been sorted out. A full list of all 25 winners is below. I mean, it’ll probably be June before you receive your prizes with the postal strikes, but at least it’s something to look forward to eh?
One thing I’m very much looking forward to is ‘A Curry with Colin Woodthorpe’ - our first The Scarf My Father Wore live event in 2023. It’s at Last Monsoon in Stockport on Monday 30 January at 7.30pm. The restaurant is pretty much next to the bus station, train station and motorway, so it’s a piece of piss to get to. We’ve sold 50% of the tickets already; hopefully we can shift the rest and have a cracking night with one of Gary Megson’s first County signings ahead of our first season in Division One in 1997-98. Colin stayed at Edgeley Park for all of our five seasons in the First Division, and he’s got some excellent tales to share with us.
You’ll also get poppadoms, mixed starters, curry, rice and naan bread. As well as a full colour souvenir programme. All for just £20. Fancy it? Send me a text or give me a call on 07816 111150, or you can email desmondhinks@hotmail.co.uk
Finally, today’s edition is sponsored by The Site Supply Company. A big thank you to Steve Cree. Check out hivis.net if you need any workwear or high visibility clothing, and get 10% off all orders with the code TSMFW.

Can we all show a little love for County’s head groundsman Liam Cash tonight. He doesn’t like the limelight (he was mortified when I ‘arrested’ him and put him in handcuffs as part of my best man speech) but this lad has grafted and grafted literally all day and all night constantly for the last few days. It’s just bloody freezing isn’t it?
