Richie Humpreys Night

Good night as a whole. Some intresting points made from his career as a whole.

A man who from what he said lives Pools'. He gives his all when he turns out in the shirt and will carry on doing just that.

A few more like him, living for Pools and we can live the dream.

Just an opinon from what I heard tonight.

I believe he hasn't performed to as high as standard as he should have in the fans belief but he , in my opinion , lives Hartlepol Fc and we can't ask for more than that,

It was a cracking evening, very professional in a very relaxed atmosphere.

Compere Paul Gough did more than his bit to keep the evening running smoothly.

As always Chris Turner and Ken Hodcroft spoke well.

Pie 'n' peas top notch!

A fantastic painting of Ritchie was unveiled.

As for Ritchie himself, well he's a top genuine bloke that there is no doubt!

Cameo appearance of The FA Cup certainly whetted the appetite for Saturday's big game!

Bring on The Iron!

Enjoyed the night very much and hope to see Ritchies hands back on the FA Cup some time in May.

Had my hands on the FA Cup today at the 'FA Roadshow' in the Car Park this afternoon, and it certainly helped increase my excitement for the match on Saturday. Jonny went a little further, despite being advised NOT to lift the cup for his video recording, he still did. I've got to admit it is difficult to 'celebrate' winning the Cup without picking it up. May be posting a link tomorrow of the recording!!

On that basis, we can play my Grandad who attended pretty much every home game since the late forties.

They showed a DVD montage of his 30-odd goals last night, I don't think he's ever scored a tap-in. Every one a quality strike and even the odd header!

:

32 Goals Phil! If you had listened to me, we would have got a full house on the quiz!!! :laugh:

Was there just high brow fans there and no proper fans.

Just the Ritchie Elite....... although I'm sure tickets were on general sale at the ticket office!

Real fans can watch a report from Ritchie's big night on this evening's BBC Look North with Mark 'Clem' Clemmit.
