Oh well

At least the league cup wont be making a hole in the ADG wallet this year.

Its 138 miles from me and 184 from Hartlepool. Fair trek like. fingers crossed I can make it.

I wonder who's side Dimi will be on?

Canny draw for Darlo, that will boost their coffers.

I reckon they should allow leeds the home stands and let darlo half fill their own away end.

62 miles for me get in striaght up the a14

Like I said, canny game, should boost their coffers

Coventry had over 9000 for their home game against Aldershot last season at this stage so at least we'll make a bit of money even if we do go out. Better than going out at Scunny.

My immediate thought was "that's a bit far", but on further inspection for me it's exactly the same distance as Tranmere.

The problem is I won't be in the country.

Tsk...call yourself a supporter?

I could do, yeah: "You no-good Pools-supporting mofo, Montpoolier!"

is it likely to be on a tuesday night

Or beating them 2-1 like we did last time in the Cup!

5th time in 3 years we are playing darlo away. Getting a bit sick of it.

you play them more than we do now a days

What, sick of getting a free ride?

Ah but weren't they champions of Europe once.......






Bounders who Dribble loves

Well thats no suprise with results like these:

Leeds 2-0 Hartlepool
Hartlepool 1-1 Leeds
Leeds 3-2 Hartlepool
Leeds 4-1 Hartlepool
Hartlepool 0-1 Leeds

Typical Leeds fan. Totally overlooks our 2-1 pre-season friendly win in 2006

I remember when the Ricoh Arena was completed the chairman at the time said "We don't want to be playing the likes of Hartlepool at our new stadium".

Well, I think it's time we showed their chairman that his statement is a contradiction in terms.

After the first league game, I thought "How did we lose 2-0?"

You only drew the second because you scored a jammy last minute goal.

You only beat us in the Cup because of yet another jammy late goal.

4-1 wasn't a real reflection of how we played against you in the fourth game.

And you should never have beaten us in the last home game before the end of last season.

Will we ever be able to beat Leeds United in a game that means something?

I hope we will.

I think thats more likely than a Thursday morning

Well said EAD, I would rather player Exedur home or away anytime

and another ground off my list, i'll be there (well if the wife lets me ) With Norwich, southampton and oldham also on my hit list next season, that will take me to 63 current grounds where I have seen pools play (anorak smilie )

Good answer!
