Footballers wanting to come to Hartlepool seems to be about as popular as it was for convicts to go to Australia in 1788.
Can any body tell me what it is about Hartlepool that makes it so unattractive for footballers to come here to play.
I honestly don't understand, because I'll tell you now, there is no way it's all down to our league position and I emphasize the word all. It seems all of our managers since Chris Turner have commented on this fact.

Paying peanuts, 4 degrees colder than down south, the chairman was a cock end and the women mostly get pregnant by 16

Oh, Oh thread has potential

Well it miles away from anywhere

It is a scruffy dump (largely)

It has chavish tendencies

It is fucking freezing compared to other parts of the country

The town and football clubs reputation is not good

Our 'owners' don't have a penny to rub together so no one will be coming in.

Maybe he could do an offer on Red Stripe in his nightclub and we might have an extra fiver to spend?

Didn't make any difference when we were signing good players, cos we offered decent money.

Please can we talk about a topic we haven't discussed 200 times already? People will start to think we don't have lives or something.
