Are you enjoying going to pools these days or are you turning up because you feel you have to.
The game against Swindon finished work late dashed to the match without a pint or any scran my back was giving me jip watched us go 2 nil down and thought why am i stood here its not enjoyable anymore.

because I have to I suppose and cos I have my 1st season ticket
but! I have enjoyed thoroughly every match I've attended bar that 1st half v swindle

The Cheap season ticket did cross my mind also Salty.

chtrue, summat aint write like

I'll be honest, after the third goal went in i was so close to just going home, and i've never left a match even 2 minutes early

I find myself looking forward to the match but usualy, after 10 minutes, i wonder why... but still ind myself looking forward to the match on a saturday morning.

put it this way, next week having 2 mathces at home I knew I couldn't/wouldn't be able to afford it/be arsed to go twice in a week.

dibble has my ticket

yeah, he sucks me off behind the bogs during the 1st 3 1/2 mins of the match as payment!

lovely action he has...

whats a rarf?




























for the 1,853rd time of asking???!

FFS, how many times man!!!!

A rarf is like a doyle

I dont enjoy going these days and If i had not got a season ticket then I would be refusing to pay the money on the door for games these days. It isnt enjoyable.

I actually feel pleased when I see that we have a weekend without a home game as it means I can do something else more enjoyable like docorating or taking Mrs Grave shopping with my credit card.

but it must stand for something!
it MUST!

there will always be that sense of duty to be there (not always present in some of the players on the pitch it has to be said), but the whole matchday experience will always win over any perceived lack of effort or quality from Pools on the pitch. It's the self-parodying and gallows humour of Pools fans, which is impossible to explain to any glory-hunting Man Utd fan.
It's the mates you've made, all of whom you otherwise would not have met. It's the pre match and post match beer with people whose company you enjoy, and the collective willing the team on to win during the match.
Yes there are those who also use Pools as an extension to act out their misery in their personal lives, by moaning at the team no matter if they are playing well or not, but overall you want to get that indescribable feelgood factor and some pride from YOUR home town and its football club (not some fuc-ker else's home town - how can anyone share the pride of Newcastle when they don't even come from there)?

Yes most of us aren't happy right now and we say a lot of things in the heat of the moment, but as the saying goes, we're Poolies till we die!!! It's not negotiable, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

BTW I'm not going tomorrow
Apart from which I'm skint after blowing in a working man's fortune last weekend!!!

Hadaway and bollocks what is wrong with you people!?

I always enjoy going to the match especially on a Saturday, admittedly sometimes the football becomes a bit secondary and it's more because you're having a few pints with your mates but still I enjoy it.

Also can you honestly say what you've watched at the Vic this season hasn't been very good? Only the Swindon and Leicester games have been poor fare, in every other home game we've played some good and at times excellent football. They've shown some great spirit to come back in a couple of games as well, the frustration comes from the cack away form.

Fooking shopping and decorating give your head a shake grave what is becoming of you!? You're a bunch of bloody drama queens on here at times (most of the time actually ) I know you don't like Danny Wilson but retain some perspective it's been FAR worse than this!!

I despise Danny Wilson, yes thats right, DESPISE!

Absolutely spot on, also take the West Brom game and its been great watching pools at home this season

I agree with all of that PJ - ok we didn't win but how anyone can't have enjoyed at least the Oldham and Swindon games is beyond me

I didn't enjoy the Swindon game it was awful but I have enjoyed the Oldham game and our performances against Scunthorpe, West Brom, Cheltenham (I missed Colchester) also on another day we'd have beaten Stockport by about four.

I enjoy watching the likes of Brown, Porter, and Monkhouse on song.

It's better than the days of Tony Skedd and the like that's for sure!? How little did people enjoy the match then!?

The games themselves as 90 mins with a fair number of goals I dont have a problem with. It is the sheer frustration at seeing the poison dwarf in the dugout doing nothing productive other than making crazy substitutions and gifting the opposition points.

Get rid of Wilson and get some hard barsteward in who gets the players motivated and I will enjoy going again. Remember when Cyril took over - dspite us being shiit, we could have been 3-0 down at half time yet you just 'knew' that the players would have got such a bollocking at half time that they would still come back and win. The effort made up for the lack of ability.

Nowadays we have ability but a lack of effort and bottle. Its frustrating as hell and just pees me off.

What something like the Oldham game when we turned a two goal deficit into a lead in five minutes!?

I agree we lack a bit of steel and agree Wilson has taken Pools as far as he can but he's not a 'poison dwarf' he's just not the right type of manager for Pools at the moment. I agree we need a nasty bastard.

That felt like a Churchill moment and not the dog.
Oh Yesssss.
