A minutes applause for David Schofield
There will be a minutes applause, followed by a rendition of The Scarf My Father Wore, dedicated to our dear friend David Schofield in the 57th minute of tomorrows fixture against AFC Wimbledon.
Dave was County through and through and was an incredibly important part of the clubs history.
His closest family and friends will be in attendance.
Thank you 💙
From Cam Toman….
Callum Camps has joined National League side Carlisle United on loan until Jan.
Camps hasn't featured in the league this season under Jimmy McNulty but played in both EFL Trophy group stage fixtures so far, scoring in the 6-3 win over Everton U21s in August.
#StockportCounty
Always had a soft spot for Camps as a player - tidy on the ball and offers something different, but fair to say he's struggled to nail down a regular spot with injuries and competition for places etc.
Hopefully gets a run of games for Carlisle with this move; could be a standout player at that level.
Adama Sidibeh is expected to be out for a while with a recurrence of the hamstring injury suffered in the summer, sustained in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Notts County.
Jimmy McNulty says a decision will be made on whether the Gambian forward requires surgery.

Probably County's most disappointing performance so far, for me - loads of credit in the bank but not a great watch on the night.
Got to acknowledge how well-organised Oxford are, their excellent home record and how tough they make things too.
Ethan Ennis a big positive and will feel he's done enough for a start.
Oxford absolutely mullering the high line here. They only had to get the through ball right once, but it feels like they'll get chances to do so more than once tbh.
County are clearly a good team but wastefulness + front-footed defensive style hasn't mixed well in the first half
Beno Andresson in for Jack Diamond tonight.
Not there myself this evening but I'm sure the question will be asked post-match about the absent Adama Sidibeh. Have to say from watching it live on Saturday, it didn't feel like a case of it just being cramp.

May end being wrong but Dave Challinor going here has felt inevitable from day one.
Sheffield Wednesday Football Club confirms that Henrik Pedersen has left the club with immediate effect.
Henrik led the first team through an exceptional period in the club's history, providing stability and leadership during a time of significant uncertainty and change.
The club would like to place on record its sincere thanks to Henrik for his contribution and wishes him every success in the future.
Sporting Director Simon Wilson said: “First and foremost, I want to thank Henrik for his professionalism, commitment and contribution during an exceptionally challenging period for Sheffield Wednesday.
“We knew the start of this season would be difficult due to the scale of change across the club, but our expectation was always that we would develop as the season progressed, establishing a recognisable style of play and greater consistency in our performances.
“Although we have accumulated points, we haven’t seen enough progress in those areas. We believe making a change now gives us the best opportunity to establish those foundations and build towards the second half of the season and beyond.
“We remain ambitious about what we can achieve this campaign, and our focus remains on building a Sheffield Wednesday team with a clear identity, capable of delivering sustained improvement and long-term success.”
Matt Hamshaw will take interim charge of the first team while the club undertakes the process of appointing its next Head Coach.
The club will provide further updates when appropriate.
Such a good finish by Adama Sidibeh. Gets shoved off balance/on to the deck and still lifts it over the 'keeper.

FULL TIME: Notts County 1-1 #StockportCounty
Adama Sidibeh off the bench and to the rescue. Take it and get home tbh; dominated possession but didn't take the handful of chances carved out until Sidibeh struck; then handled the six mins of added time horribly and had Ollie Whatmuff to thank for the point right at the end with a really smart save down to his right.
Generally, County are playing really well and you'd absolutely take this start to the season. For me, The Hatters probably erred slightly too much on the side of overplaying at times today but still plenty of positives to take, and four points from six on the road so far this week. Didn't seem like it was going to happen for the longest time so not the end of the world at all.
The Hatters sit second in League One.
90+1' Six mins added on.
You know the line about County 3-4 Leicester.
(1-1) #StockportCounty
82' He's back!
County break, Beno Andresson plays a perfectly weighted ball through for Adama Sidibeh who shrugs off his man and lifts it over Belshaw.
1-1! #StockportCounty
73' Lewis Fiorini and Adama Sidibeh replace Lewis Bate and Harry Wood.
(1-0) #StockportCounty
65' Triple County sub:
Ben Osborn, Jack Diamond, Ryan Glover off;
Ethan Ennis, Beno Andresson, Josh Dacres-Cogley on.
(1-0) #StockportCounty
HT Notts 1-0.
#StockportCounty haven't been bad and have dominated possession, but it's been a bit too intricate and there's been nothing to test James Belshaw in goal. Notts, by contrast, having to defend their half but look sharp and direct in the final third.
Long way to go.
11' GOAL: Notts County lead 1-0.
County on the front foot when it all starts but Norwood misses his kick, Notts break and eventually work it wide to Nick Tsaroulla who puts a good ball in; not dealt with and falls for Scott Robertson who lashes one past Ollie Whatmuff.
