Missed the last goal as had to dash to the ice hockey ironically we're playing Solihull. Thought the game was pretty average at best but my god Solihull wer absolutely dreadful they didn't seem to have any sort of belief in them. Win is a win
It wasn’t a good watch BUT it was nice leaving the Vic after a win! Lowest crowd of the season (league games) & probably the flattest the crowd has been all season, atmosphere wise. The club definitely needs some kind of lift to excite the fan base, there’s die hard fans who stand near us who weren’t there yesterday, PTID.

You've just got to keep hanging in there in this league, as 2 or 3 wins can change things, but on the flip side it can be pretty soul destroying at times.
I fully expect Pools to go on a 4/5 winning streak Dodger41, flirt with an outside chance of making the playoffs & fall away, as per. Funny thing is though, even though it was the lowest league crowd of the season (so far) it was still higher than some league 2 teams yesterday. Have us challenging at the top end & there’d be double that & the Vic is great when it’s full & playing good football, we are just so poorly led at the moment, PTID.You've just got to keep hanging in there in this league, as 2 or 3 wins can change things, but on the flip side it can be pretty soul destroying at times.

Don't know how you didn't beat us a few weeks back, especially on the 2nd half performance, still a long way to go
Cheers mate, I was following your progress to last season’s FA trophy final & how the town backed the team at Wembley in numbers. Pools are one of the few teams never to have played at Wembley, PTID.Don't know how you didn't beat us a few weeks back, especially on the 2nd half performance, still a long way to go

Yeah, that was a great day, result, weather & company
.....was our 1st time at Wembley, old club or new club, not just because we haven't been good enough, but in the 1st ever play offs, we beat Wolves home and away in the final (not at Wembley) and played Shrewsbury in the Conference play-off final at Stoke, when Wembley was being rebuilt...., didn't realise Hartlepool haven't played at Wembley.
Same thing for us also Dodger. We played our 2005 league one playoff final against Wednesday at the Millennium in Cardiff as Wembley was being rebuilt. Then, our NL playoff final against Torquay was played at Ashton Gate for Covid reasons (happy to be corrected on this). Consequently both teams only got around 3000 tickets. Should we ever make it to Wembley we would probably take 15/20000 fans.Yeah, that was a great day, result, weather & company

I'm sure you would
....., i never thought we'd take 20k, but when we sold 8k on the 1st day, it makes you think again ....., obviously there was loads who went that don't normally go, but they still made the effort, and plainly care about the club 
Just watched the Hearts/Celtic game & the adulation & thanks Tony Bloom who invested £10m into the club is receiving from the fans is fantastic to see! Bloom is shaking hands & having selfies with supporters, our owner bans radio Tees, the Hartlepool Mail & club president Jeff Stelling steps down from the club he loves! So frustrating, PTID.

9,109 Poolie Fans at the Stadium of Light for the F.A. Cup game in 2004, made a Great Noise....Was there with me Dad, (born on the Headland), as Sunderland Season Ticket Holders and Victoria Park regulars when Sunderland were Away and we couldn't get a Ticket, so you could say 9,111 Pools fans although suspect many support both Clubs!!!
Ha'way the Lads and Up the Pools!!!

I was at the match, Featherstone’s first game as interim (soon to be permanent?) manager. Unfortunately our defense was decimated through injury & ineligibility & inadequate replacements were installed in their place. Easy to say with hindsight but Featherstone should have gone all out attack, but he went with one forward only. The young debutant, Foreman, had the beating of their left back & whipped some good crosses into the box in the first 20 minutes but nobody was there to get on the end of it. Start of the second half, 2-0 behind & looking to get back into the game, we immediately gave away an unnecessary foul on our box. Of course this was the night for their lad to do his best Lionel Messi impersonation & scores a worldy, game over!
Apologies for the long discourse but unfortunately I don’t have a game to go to today so I have time on my hands, good luck to Gainsborough today.
