Next Sunday 1pm at Sheffield United. 10th May

Supporters Club(Hartlepool) v Home Bargains.

Good luck lads.
Seems like a good number of fans will be in attendance from our Town including Legend Pools fan Paddy who's travelling up from Nottingham.
UTS.

I'm considering going with my bro. It's only a fiver in and a 1pm kick off at Bramall Lane.
It would be a first seeing a Pools team winning some silverware!

Just booked my train ticket from Ketrin- I'll be there
Does that make me the furthest away, in attendance :think:

Going with my bro, whose travelling from Leeds
Planning on having a skinful- if we win, before pouring myself back on the train! :dance:

If we aren’t satisfied with the result, can we get a refund… or change it for a different result…?

Loving your optimism!
I'll be travelling in hope, rather than expectation - as always, when watching a Pools eleven
Just hoping we've got eleven, and won't need to play a rush keeper! :pray:

Might wear my boots, just in case

another set of scoucers to play so they,ll be noisy at least. they,ll have excuses and moans lined up already if the supporters beat them.

I don't - you cheeky monkey! That's just some Fugly that inadvertently photo bombed me at Ketrin Station!

First time I've posted a pic on here - couldn't work out how to rotate it, once I'd posted it.

Have to say the Pools lads did the town proud.
We were really unlucky. Their team were typical Scouse whingers- the play acting and feigning injury at every given opportunity was quite frankly embarrassing.

0-0 at Half time after a fairly even first half

Second half they scored from a set piece after about 52 mins.
We then had our centre half and skipper harshly sent off after some shithousery from them- probably a booking but NEVER a straight red.

Minutes later the game was temporarily suspended due to crowd trouble.
This had been whipped up by an arsehole in THEIR dugout, who was giving the Pools fans the middle finger and gesticulating 'come on' and generally taking the piss. This in turn whipped up a few Pools fans to re-address the balance with some of the Scouse support with the main stand being loosely segregated- was handbags at best. The game was stopped and the players taken off until it all calmed down.(eh, eh, calm down, calm down!)

Pools came back out for the last 25 minutes, and played well given they were a man down. Just when it looked like we'd run out of steam- the ball broke in the box, (in about the third minute of time added on) and one of our lads lashed it home. A great finish and all hell broke loose amongst the Poolies- Limbs everywhere!

Shortly afterwards, ref blew for full time and it went straight to penalties- losing 3-1.
Bit of lottery as ever - no disgrace losing on spot kicks -but to a man, we were excellent and they deservedly got a great ovation at the end from the travelling masses.

Brilliant turn out of Poolies - reckon must have been at least 700+ in attendance- an outstanding effort

My favourite chant of the day was 'You're just a Shit B&M! '

scousers win at football and most likely won on shoplifting going to the ground.
