Pre-Season fixtures

[Colin Jack]

Taken from the OS

Details of our pre-season fixtures will be released, after all the other clubs have had first dibs, probably around mid July, and will definitely include games against at least 3 Northern League clubs, possibly even one from Northern League 1.

As well as that we are hoping to have the usual marquee home game v either Sunderland or Boro U23s and possibly attract York City reserves to the Vic (subject to them winning the play offs )

Keep an eye on the OS during September for details

[Smokin Joe]

Hmmm, change 'the Vic' for Blackhall Meadows or whatever the Skerne flood plain is called these days and you may actually be very near an amazing scoop there!

[Kettering Poolie]

Blackhall Meadows - is that a new housing development on the Rocks?

[Kettering Poolie]

The Skerne Flood plain- wasn't that the scene of the infamous Worm Holocaust (circa 2001)

sctatchinghead Blackhall Meadows - is that a new housing development on the Rocks?

Yes, not too far from the Freudian slip

[Flying Hogans]

Hmmm, change 'the Vic' for Blackhall Meadows or whatever the Skerne flood plain is called these days and you may actually be very near an amazing scoop there!

The mighty River Skerne starts near Trimdon and runs southwest to Darlington and the River Tees. Blame the dodgy drainage at Blackhall on something else.

[Smokin Joe]

The Skerne Flood plain- wasn't that the scene of the infamous Worm Holocaust (circa 2001)

That was Feethams-on-Skerne I believe, a bad day to be a worm as thousands of innocents were sacrificed, drowned in a cesspit of mud and effluent in a failed attempt to make the grass grow. Ugly scenes, not a PG.

It’s unreal….it’s like telling a man in January with two months to live if he’ll want a ticket for the Xmas do.

[Colin Jack]

I see we have so far managed to arrange one game, whilst most other clubs have arranged all of their pre season fixtures, usually in one go, in a structured organised fashion. Pools as usual, will wait until everyone else has had first dibs, then at the last minute will be frantically trying to organise friendlies against whoever is left in the usual unstructured manner.

Pre season is important, I stress this season after season, but our brain dead fanbase just don't seem to get it. Maybe our fanbase is the reason the club is the way it is, just a thought.

Have you miss-spelt Fanbase for Boardroom.

Explain please because youve totally lost me with the

BRAINDEAD FANBASE sentence.

Serious question- Are you pissed?

At what point does the fanbase become responsible for the scheduling of pre- season friendlies?

Are you Mr P earson? Maybe you could use some of your influence to get the club sold, instead of posting shite on here!

Ever considered changing your user name to ‘Jack the Ripper’ …then you could rip up all your pre post scribblings on your Mickey Mouse note pad before the toxic vitriol has dried and is posted on the board.
‘Brain dead fan base’ the view of a nobody.

Something tells me there’s something odd here.

Well, speaking as one of the Brain Dead, can I suggest that you and your little gang of personalities form yourselves into a NW Corner Select XI - and we'll let Porter and Boyd fight over the armband.

[Poolie27]

if we're brain dead it's due to the fact that were locked into a cage and fed no information at all. It's like a new chapter of Crime and Punishment.

[Kenny Bottles]

I'm brain dead, and so is my wife.

[Jamie1952]

No point arranging pre season games if Pools don’t have enough players, they went Portugal with half a team under Hartley.

Aye…Portugal….that worked well

but look at the air and accomodation money they saved by that small number.

August 2nd

Darlo v Gateshead
Spennymoor v York

Notice the pattern? teams at home playing opposition from higher leagues. Meanwhile over at Victoria Park its Pools v South Shields, a team from the division below. Pools are clueless, but this happens every pre season, the only difference being some pre season schedules are worse than others. Beat Shields and so what, its to be expected, get beat and immediately puts a downer on for the first game a week later in what many already are thinking will be a difficult season.

Shields away would have made more sense, but you'd think a team with Pools Football League history ( that is fast fading from memory amongst younger football supporters ) could attract an EFL league 2 team to the Vic.

know these are just practise games for the players and bare no resemblance to the season in front of us. however it would be nice for the fans and the extras who would turn up if the club managed to get one fixture that interests the fans and not a team of kids either.

[kevin pooles gloves]

7000+ Boro fans going to the proper Rangers in a few weeks while we get the school team.

South Shields might bring 4000 like!

The non boycotters have got the team they deserve.
A nailed on relegation team of pure utter shite.

The coffee will be sniffed month by month though.

Reborn is the only future.
The club is being put. Thru a piss Takeing death with sick pleasure.

If ya have a brain yas know this is correct.

what happened to the annual friendly at Billingham?

Used to a regular game, Pools maintained the pitch there in the IOR days when we had a reserve team.
I think a game against Stockton Town would have been a good test although we have the game against Redcar Athletic which will be a good test as they have just been promoted.

[kevin pooles gloves]

So let's get this right here.
We Gunna need the never heard of Trialists to try n fill the bench for tonight.

But we building a Promotion team.
Well Aye.
Sing Out.

The clip of our team they will all be a test.
Even Rangers under11s.

Heatwave on its way so that's great news.
I recommend a 4 knotted handkerchief to our older generation..
