Just tried to order online, I can't as I haven't registered before last month. I have a pools player subscription but that doesn't count it seems.

Well done for the offer pools but you don't half make it difficult sometimes. Even if they just postcode restricted the registration it would be easier, or found a way to link your player account to the ticketing database.

One final bumper crowd payday for the crooks?

I'd of taken the kids but it may be a bit difficult explaining the possible protests and anger that may be shown on the day. That and I'd not give Coxall 5p more never mind a fiver.

Il watch it on TV thanks.

Now dawned on me that Cheltenham was my last Pools game till they fuck off.

Hi all, I'm coming down from Glasgow for this as a neutral (have never been to your ground before).

I take it I'll be OK to get a ticket?

yloop · **Posted:** Mon May 01, 2017 10:33 am

Probably not, there are no tickets on sale on the day.

Was going to buy via ticket office phone number tomorrow. Likely to sell out?

Not sell out. Just a pain in the arse

Question Mr Smithee, do you attend funerals as a neutral?

You generally have to ring the club shop to get through to the ticket office or some such shite.

I'm confused if I'm honest. a 3 hour drive to watch a team get relegated, as a neutral, when the game is on TV?

ptbap · **Posted:** Mon May 01, 2017 11:03 am

We complained (and rightly so) when Orient charged the home fans £5 and ourselves as away fans the normal admission prices. I hope somebody has done something for the Donnie fans who will have already paid full price.

Cheltenham did it to us too.

The possibility of relegation honestly has no bearing on it (although it would be a nice underdog story if there was a bit of last day drama and results kept you up).

I just like doing a bit of groundhopping and this was as good a choice as anything else in the North of England so I would have come along even if it was a dead rubber. Ticket permitting of course.

FFS! Only at Pools, got mine last week, now I'm gonna have to make a trip to Hartlepool to get a refund. Don't want to sound ungrateful , but they should of announced this weeks ago.

misterb2001 · **Posted:** Mon May 01, 2017 11:49 am

Surely your trip for a refund would be the day of the game?

What reason are the club giving for not being able to pay on the day? To avoid Donny fans going in home end?

I've never understood that, especially as it's so bloody complicated to buy tickets in advance from Pools with all the database rubbish

Too much hassle on the day, though I suppose with it been a later kick off, it would be okay. Generally like to keep the hours prior to the match to have a drink and relax. Luckily for me I have reason to be in the town tomorrow, so not a big problem really.

What a load. Honestly this shower couldn't run a bath.

So I guess they are wrong to reduce it to a fiver then?

ptbap · **Posted:** Mon May 01, 2017 3:30 pm

I've never paid £5 to attend a funeral in my life. The spread has better be top notch. Corned beef slice and cheese on sticks!

£5.... I want paying a lot more than that to turn up.

The cynical part of me thinks it's just another attempt to hype up the game to wring every last drop of coin out of the fans.

/\ that.

Tv money, full house - 'glorious' failure or bitter and twisted we were robbed.

Anything to shift the blame from the January fire sale.

The ticket office have extended their opening hours to let people who work in the daytime get down there. Use the ticket office between 9 and 4, outside of those hours it's the main office. Well done pools.

Wednesday 3rd May: 9am – 8pm
Thursday 4th May: 9am – 6pm
Friday 5th May: 9am – 5.30pm
