I am as I already have my ticket, if Town Ends remains open and my Train Ticket booked for Friday. I don't care about the result anymore.

Will be hell on Singh will sneak out so people can’t call him names

No chance

Not the players,lol

When the players give a performance and show some fight even if its a defeat i will go back, not until then im afraid.

Can't wait so excited.

Any loyal supporter needs to be going irrespective of the past results, I would be but I am not in Hartlepool currently, we need to get behind the club and show we are not fair weather supporters to attract potential buyers.

If you’re a poolie, you go.
For a 20 year period I was initially gutted because my shifts were Saturday off then Saturday on at work but luckily the Saturday on shift always finished at 2.30 and I only had a 5 minute walk when my shift was over…perfect timing.

What's the difference between Raj removing some of DC's budget because he got wind that DC wanted away and a regular fan boycotting matches to get at Raj. If the support goes down the budget will go down with it. It is counter productive to the wish of a bigger budget. Of course people are entitled to spend their money as they wish and that includes the Chairman. The fans will say they are not putting their money in until either Raj has gone or he ups the budget and Raj will say why should he put more in if the fans are withdrawing their input. Catch 22, Mexican stand off, cutting your nose of to spite your face, call it what you want.
The Chairman says he and his family are getting abuse and now threats of boycotts are being muted. If there is no subsidence to the animosity he will be strongly tempted to consider pulling the plug and then what happens. Some people say people like me are scared of the prospect of the club folding. Well I will never be satisfied or happy with that scenario and nor should anyone else.

Can,t argue with that.

As i,ve stated in another thread if my family were being abused i would not put an extra penny in.

I'd go if I was in town.

We've had worse teams than this, when we were in the League (circa '94) under Dave McCreery, John MacPhail and Houchen-

The likes of Denny Ingram, Tony Skedd, Shane Reddish, Scott Sloane, Paul Wratton, Damian Henderson, Tony Canham, John Gallagher, Peter Billing, Kona Hislop, David Rush-

Admittedly some more woeful than others- though they were dark days. Average crowd was just over 2 thousand and had a 3 sided ground , which was embarrassingly poor. But I still turned up, more in hope, as they're MY team.

Nowt to do with raj its the total lack of effort and fight. I wont be paying 20 odd quid anymore until some fight and passion is back.

If his family are being abused why on earth is he letting them go? Is this not one of rajs get out of free jail card. Nobody should be abusing his family but has anyone witnessed this abuse?

He held dcs budget back and you could say were still waiting for him to release it, if he has and this is what we got then id of been down the a19 as quick as challinor was.

Unfortunately you don,t have to be at the match to get abuse.

YOU could say he is still holding it back . In fact YOU have to say that but the problem is YOU say these things without any evidence.

.

Oh you want evidence but when people ask you for evidence you swerve the idea. What should be stopped is the abuse not the family's movements.

All poolies are boycotting next weeks FA Cup 1st round next week .
Well at least we cant get beat next Saturday unless we rearrange a friendly with The West End Club in Murray Street.

Nowt to do with Raj now is it. That's a new one. You usually say it's BECAUSE of Raj and his cheap budget.

To be honest I'm amazed he is still here.

Because he might want some return on any cash he has put into Pools.

Behave you 2.
Or you will get a warning.
Just getting a bit of practice in for when i get voted in for the next mod job.

Why shouldn’t they be allowed to go without being abused?
You sound like a lazy copper saying “ If your kids are getting mugged why do you let them out to play? Are you sure they aren’t winding the muggers up by having decent trainers, anyway no one else has approached me so I reckon you made it all up!”.

Ah but according to some he hasn't put any money in.

Don't worry there are plenty on here buying what the great leader said without evidence, having previously howled for it themselves.

What im saying is if your family are being abused would you send them there?

Ive given up on him let him destroy us like he already is.

So every other thing on here they want evidence if raj says it its gospel, its gospel . Its de ja vu with what happened at darlo, same things.

Do you want some evidence derwent. The team was relegated, we go through managers like no end, physios up and leave. Best players all sold. Crowds dipping, lies about how great the budget was, 7 players on a tour to protugal might just back that up a touch for you. Out of the fa cup before the first round ever. Loans under raj. A team going through the motions while sliding dangerously towards the conference north. Darlo wound up under him, Is that enough evidence?

How upsetting for you.

You are totally missing a glaring point…..the thing that’s wrong is some f&£@wits abuse people, you are making the victims responsible by actually existing
So are the rights of the abusers more important than rights of the victims.
We must have different moral values.

Raj and his family can't win, don't go and they're cowards, go and get abused even though they like us are doing their best (unfortunately doing their best isn't enough for some). IMO Raj is not our biggest problem, the players not performing (definitely not they're not good enough, they performed much better against top teams for the first 9 or 10 games), is our biggest and most immediate issue. I'm totally surprised that the anger hasn't been aimed at them and the manager yet.

My anger is at Jameson, a loan player being ahead of Dixon, who is our player. Jameson as leaked goal after goal. Time for Dixon to get a chance again. Also my Anger is at Askey too, got to question why aren't the players playing for him, clearly the players can do it on the training pitch, but why they lose their heads when crossing that line on Saturday and Tuesday....

Wheres this alleged abuse evidence.
Is it just criticism blown out of all proportion.
An excuse for failurerism.
Obviously some bunkerites are excellent at word twisting to suit there own agendas and some aint.

I think the fans are being very patient lately but see the York game as a enuf is enuf encounter.
Take 5th bottom now as i dont live in fantasy world.
Some mite disagree.
We all different with different views.

People saying Raj lied about the budget could actually be libel which potential carries a heftier penalty than any abuse. I don't recall him saying anything other than Askey would have what he thought was a budget which would allow us to compete for promotion. He's never said how much the budget is, and he's never made any figures over costs,wages, signing fees, agents fees, player accomodation, travel, rent, etc etc so I can't see how anyone can say he's lied.
Making allegations like that is treading dangerous ground imo.

Oh no. Using Raj in this case is a smokescreen because the anger should be directed at the dressing room …it’s pathetic when it’s blatantly obvious where and what the problem he has to be brought in to satisfy the obsession with some he’s responsible for every micro action in the club.
It’s becoming a syndrome.

Not so long ago Askey signed a 3 year contract, Question is why.

He was happy with his lot then, So why are the players not listening to him and his staff now.
Has he lost belief in himself, And the players are picking up on that becomeing demoralised.

Couple of massive games coming up, Only wins will save the day.
Lets hope it happens.

Raj is the constant in this formula not the managers.

For crying out loud Raj, stop being a shit tightwad of an owner, keep owning the club like you know you want to and ENJOY it and we'll all enjoy it with you. HUFC doesnt need a new owner , just a new Raj who speculates to accumulate.

We were in an awful position before Raj and were going down the pan. He bailed us out and then, thanks to DC and a bit of luck, we got promoted. Everything that's happened since has been like a bloody football horror film.

Chairmen come and go and Raj has made it clear that he would like to go - but isn't going anywhere until someone trustworthy comes in to take over the reigns.

Those of us that remember IOR's literal dumping of our club should take this as a blessing.

So nowadays I'd rather have Lacey playing in a back four tripping over his own boots than have someone like Coxhall come in and take the piss out of us again.

We've got a squad here that should be more than good enough for this league and we as Poolies can only do what we always do - stick with them and get get behind them.

UTP.

You worry me big style...You joined in 2023 which in its self is fine...My problem is you are not a Poolie in my opinion. You pretend to be a Poolie yet you are fully backing Raj Its alright backing Raj if you are a real poolie...But my guess is you are nothing other than a fake poolie and a friend of Raj..BTW if I am wrong I sincerely apologise.

You missed out We have different views which i think is reasonable n allowed.
Good chairman n managers make a good dressing room.
Example Curle at Carlisle n Northampton.
He got them both promotion FACT.

Hes only really failed at Pools but he aint the only one since DC was pushed out for being to ambitious.
Opinions hey.
UTP.

Every owner and chairman say the same thing if coxall came and offered raj 5 million tommorow do you think he would turn it down? So gary i know your going to take the piss keep your 5 million.

Might find out today the accounts are supposed to be out for about the 4th time.

Haha that’s funny

Not a Poolie, FFS I have been going to Pools for nearly 60 years! Some good but mainly not, I was there on a pissing freezing night when we had our lowest ever league attendance back in the day (don't remember the fixture, but I'm sure Len Ashurst was manager and he thanked us over the tannoy towards the end of the game). So you're totally wrong.
Obviously having a different viewpoint to you deems me not a genuine fan in your eyes.
I back Raj at the moment because he's all we've got, I've seen us having blanket collections on match days, bailiffs at the door, and had many a sleepless night when we've had winding up orders due, and I'd rather we didn't go there again. Let's face facts here, Raj has said nobody has come forward with proof of funds to keep us going for a season! So if he goes it's bye bye Pools! If that happened and a Phoenix club started it wouldn't be Pools and I dare say we'd lose the majority of the fanbase, and almost certainly those who jumped onboard through the good IOR days.
So, I'll continue to say things as I see it, I'll be there God willing tomorrow backing the team and desperately hoping for a turn around. I suggest that any questioning of those who are not true Poolies would be better directed at those who are boycotting and refuse to back the team because they dislike the (transient as all owners are) Chairman who won't be there for life like I've been.

Has Snowy slept in.
Or still working out his replys

That dog of his making him walk the streets.

It’s obvious every post you make is an anti Raj post.
So why not save time by posting just one random word….for example …’carrot’…we know what you mean as it’ll be …..‘Raj out’…..simple…..save you getting Raj wrist.

What choice does he have, he is a businessman, he wants some of his cash back like I would and every other person, no one is queuing up at The Vic to buy the club, I doubt he could give it away for free
