Before setting off for the gay capital of the UK.

Now I reckon the vast majority of Pools' supporters today will be ex-pat's. And I am going for less than 150 Poolies, unless a lot of ex pat's turn up.

Hopefully they will have to make the journey here on Tuesday 18th for a cold miserable north east night.

I reckon we'll get a draw.

I hope you're right Bob - but they will already be aware of the fact that they will not want to come to Hartlepool, given that there can be no more replays and it would be settled on a freezing cold north east night. They will be going all out to establish a minimum two goal lead in the first 20-25 minutes - and can Pools' dodgy defence and keeper hold out? We shall see, especially if Murray is playing - which if he is, I doubt very much Pools fragile back four can withstand the pressure.
Prove me wrong, Pools, and walk the walk for a change at a place like this...................

I wish I wouldn't tempt fate............predictable as it is.......

I really cant see us getting back into this now, foooking Brighton, bastid bogey team, anyone but them bounders, you knew when the draw came out we hadn't a chance, no fight in the team, spineless bastards

hope I'm still laughing at ten to five( or later if as the case may be)!
