Being a bit of a slacker (and missing the tenner offer - doh ), i thought i'd better buy my Pools tickets - so yesterday i called the Commercial Centre (Ticket Office to anyone over 20 years old), to be told that its sold out (in home areas)! However, they were able to provide me with 3 seats in the JS. So, anyway, the reason for this thread is that 1) If you havnt got your tickets yet, i suggest calling them first thing on Monday (or book online)and 2) It will definitely be a full house.
From what I recall, Hartlepool have a tradition of going to the last game in fancy dress. Last season it was oompa loompa costumes
From what i recall with Poolies last season, they brought 53 fans - so they are likely to be a little bit outnumbered.!
It was 556 for a dead rubber mate so not the worst we saw last season and we took 167 (last season) and 353 (this season) to their place. They will still be vastly outnumbered but if they bring about 500 again it will still be a good showing
Didnt we play them midweek and they only brought double figures? or am i thinking of another season or even another team ?
I think that was Walsall on a cold Tuesday night mate, last season Hartlepool were last game of the season (again!) and it was 0-0 with both teams hitting the post.
We played them on a tuesday night 2 seasons ago in a re arranged fixture went 1 0 down and drew 1 1 I think. Walsall last season was a sunday and possibly the worst game i`ve ever witnessed from our lot. It was a freezing snowy down I got stuffed at footie in the morning hot footed it over to the valley and...was truly awful Parky got sacked a couple of games later may even of been the next game.
Bought my ticket at the Yeovil game - I'm in UW as usual, but I'm out in Block Q! Should be a great atmosphere.
I know the game you're thinking of Mike, it was indeed rearranged and they couldn't have brought more than 60, we won 2-1 I think, Wagstaff scored a late screamer to give us the win.
For some reason Hartlepool have a habit of wearing fancy dress whenever we play them. Went up there when we won 4-0 and there about about 10-15 of them as Thunderbirds!!
I sit in Q block, Tewks. It is a great location - just close enough to enjoy the away fans' banter. You can't miss me sitting in Row A with my nippers. Ducker sits a couple of rows behind.
