Edgeley Park millionaire brings Maddie’s dad to Stockport


30/ 1/2008

HEARTBREAK dad Gerry McCann took time out from the frantic search for his missing daughter Madeleine to watch Sale Sharks beat Harlequins at Edgeley Park on Friday.

Mr McCann and his legal adviser Clarence Mitchell were guests of Sharks’ millionaire owner Brian Kennedy.

Mr Kennedy, a previous owner of Stockport County, who sold the football club to the supporters’ trust, has been a staunch supporter of the McCann family’s campaign to find Madeleine.

The youngster’s disappearance in Portugal last May, just days before her fourth birthday, sparked a worldwide hunt, and since then Gerry and his wife Kate have been at the centre of the media spotlight.

It has been widely reported that the McCann family’s spokesman Clarence Mitchell’s £75,000 salary, is being paid by Mr Kennedy and further help is being given by his lawyer Ed Smethurst.

Mr Kennedy told the Stockport Express yesterday: "Gerry McCann came out (to the match) for a couple of hours to help clear his mind. I wouldn’t want this to compromise our campaign to find Madeleine. I remain absolutely committed to the campaign to find Madeleine and my support goes on."

   I am sick of people criticising and ridiculing these poor people every move they make people are on to them, some of the comments on here are disgusting i dont know how people can sleep at night with some of the things they have said, yes they are making news and i am glad because it keeps the case fresh in people's minds and i have NO DOUBT that if it were your child that had gone missing you would want the same i know i would, and if you are sick of reading about it then why click on it in the first place, i wish i had had the chance to have met Gerry i would have loved to have told him how sorry i am about maddie,and to remind him that there are people out here who support and care about them, yes they left their children alone,and i am not saying it's right but have'nt you made a mistake, after all parenting does not come with a manual, and as for getting out and looking for his daughter he cannot do that single handed,and is entitled to some sort of respite the man is distraught you only have to look at the picture to see that, they are in no way guilty of what happened to maddie, they are decent people who made a mistake and will spend a lifetime paying for it, so leave them alone.
