Team: Hartlepool United Joined the Football League: 1921 Honours: mmmmmmmâ¦.. Highest League Finish: 2nd in Third Division North 1957 Last League meeting with Pompey: 12 February 2013, League One Hartlepool 0-0 Pompey Last seasonâs average home attendance: 3,613 Last 5 seasons: 2013: 23rd in League One 2012: 13th in League One 2011: 16th in League One 2010: 20th in League One 2009: 19th in League One Factoid: Hartlepool had to apply for re-election to the league more times than any-one else (14 times) Trivia Question: Which FOUR sides failed to get re-elected during the 1970s?
Bradford Park Avenue, Newport County, Barrow Town and Workington Town. They were replaced by Wimbledon, Hereford, Cambridge Utd and Wigan Ahletic but I can't remember what order. Am I right?
You have the correct four gaining entry into the league but only 3 out of 4 for the failures: Cambridge replaced Bradford Park Avenue in 1970 Hereford replaced Barrow in 1972 Wimbledon replaced Workington in 1977. Newport were relegated from the Fourth Division in 1988. So who did Wigan replace.........?
So can we stop the rot on Saturday? Hartlepool are on a good run at home so they will be feeling confident of getting 3 points. How many Pompey fans are making the long journey to the North east?
Maybe this will be a 0-0 score. Flinders appears to be a good goalie and the whole lot sounds a bit scrappy.
Well that sounds like a big step forward for us. As a striker Guy always went for the attack - As a defender AA goes for the defence of a point.
Sounded like we played much better this time Sonny Bradley had a good game, and Ryan Bird played his socks off.
