MATCH CONFIRMED 3PM ON SATURDAY 8TH SEPTEMBER 2007

Never thought I'd see the day, A Hartlepool League match CATEGORY A - I don't think even the first time we played Forest that it was CATEGORY A.

£25 a ticket then??

Yeah, looks like £25 a ticket - might be 1 ticket per person at the ticket office.

So does that make it more expensive for away fans?

If so, by how much?

Only about £5 more for adults than the highest price in one of the Leeds stands

Well worth the money.

Well I'm buggered if I'm missing that match for the sake of an extra fiver.

You can't not go to this, we've been waiting for this since Don Revie and all that !

Law, it's Swindon at home next after

Don't forget Chesterfield away in Mickey Mouse Cup in between Oldham and Leeds

No! Unless you're a home fan in the family enclosure.
It's a price hike all round for home and away fans alike. The Leeds supporters will be itching to get a glimpse of a quality team like Pools so they won't mind.

Why are we going to be taking 3,600?

We must be their Cup Final

Swindon

I SAID SWINDON, DAMN IT !

Well I do apologise, but I hadn't got that far down the thread when I posted it.

You may take the credit oh great one.

if it was £55, I wouldn't miss the Leeds game. If anyone says it is just another game, then they haven't been going to football very long.
Whether we like to say it or not, Leeds' history marks them out as one of the greatest football clubs in this country. Uefa Cup victories/finals, FA cup victories/finals, League Cup victories/finals, Champions of England and runners-up numerous times, European Cup final/semi-finals (when it WAS the European Cup, not this easy Champions League shite which guarantees ten games in it no matter what - back then, you either won or you were out).
This is not like playing Sheff Wed, who were merely in the top flight as also-rans, Leeds have beaten the best in the business throughout their history.
This is a bigger game than Forest (not just for geographical reasons either) because Leeds had been more successful over a much longer period than Forest.

I'm definately going. Have bboked some accommodation so can have a night out too.

Im definetely going to a wedding that day in Horden

eeh bah gum!!! Give it a miss!!!! Get to Leeds!!!!

Wanna share?

Has anyone been on the call centre site to see if LP is creaming himself over this game or what?

Fortunately I've not had sight of that site for a long period!

You should have said, you could have stopped in my flat

you could show off your collection of corps...erm, ornaments...............

Like it or lump it and gripe about prices if you will but this is possibly one of greatest compliments in the history of Hartlepool United.

Ladies, Dibbles and gentlemen, we are Category A.

Gerrin!!!

Catergory A for Artlepool

my mates a west brom fan,he was just showing me his ticket for the game away to sheff utd on saturday.....23 quid.thats to watch one of the championship's biggest games with a side that was prem 6 months ago.
Why is a match category A anyone know,is it down to risk or number of police needed?

category a tell you what will really p them off if the team refuse to get changed in their changing rooms and go to a local hotel

Parmapooly brought a tear to my eye there! A trip to blades is in no way comparable to a trip to ER. The extra couple of quid is surely not enough to cut yer nose off to spite yer face. Get yerselves down to ER - you'll really regret it next day if pool win and you gave it a miss. Despite being in Div 1 we still have a reputation europe wide and have still played more games in europe than all but scousers/mancs and gooners. This is still the same ground, the same fans and the same history. Potentially a great day out. Looking forward to seeing you all. We may even be looking at zero points so the atmoshere will be electric. A number of Southend posters said the noise at ER last week was the loudest they had ever experienced - you could make it even better. mot

Well it's the closest game we have to a derby match so I will be there, I can see at least 3,000 Poolies there and even a 30k crowd if Leeds continue doing well.

Room is full I'm afriad. Will have to be next time.

But are you close to the nightlife? That's the most important thing! Have booked somewher near the Uni, is that close enough? Everywhere I tried was full!

What do you expect, there's a Category A game on that day!

By the way, the Uni is over Headingley way isn't it? A taxi ride from the city centre pubs and clubs.

Oh well, it's better than nothing I suppose. As long as there's beer and football I'll be happy.................................I sound like a bloke don't I?

Do you look like one?

No!!!!

Yes, I live in Leeds City Centre. Leeds is a good night out so you'll enjoy yourself.

Sorry to be a party pooper, but I always thought that Leeds was a bit of a shit night out to be honest.

Everywhere is spread too far apart.

When I lived down that way I'd rather go out on the lash somewhere like Halifax or Huddersfield, where all the pubs, clubs etc are all right on top of each other.

Stop chopping them to pieces then, you evil knife-wielding fiend

But a hammer is much more effective than a knife.

Less splatters you see.

Not so much evidence.
