If it stays as it is today Savage & Macc are promoted to National North.

Reborn is available.
A village team getting 3000+
Hey

hopefully they batter darlo next year


With our own ground and the infighting over we would be back at this level fairly quickly IMO and with a much better sense of solidarity...

No sheep till Buxton

If a new owner with ambition is not found, I would not be against the club being wound up and HartlepoolS United FC being reborn debt free.

a villiage with over 50,000 living there 17,000 more than accrington. if they cannot get that number watching their local side in the position they are in they might as well pack up. we,d easily top that if pools were looking upwards instead of stagnating at the best.

Y'all deluded if you thing we could come back from going bust, won't happen in Hartlepool, I've barely missed a home game in 50 years but I would have no appetite for any form of pheonix club playing in even more tin pot leagues than the one we currently reside in.

I would add, that , half of you lot on here rarely go to games now so I can't see you all making an effort at 8th or 9th tier level.

well it never bothers me who our opponents are as how we play and the result of the game are the main reasons. local derby games rarely produce memorable games but we have bucked that trend with many of the darlo games in the past. this season i missed the oldham game but came to some that fans think due to our past are beneath us. if we played at level 9 and were making a real fist of it by winning and playing decent football i,d still come up the same number of times i would if we played in the efl division 1.

My concern would be the ground…the way politicians are going nothing is safe and with interference from above more frequent what’s to say the Vic site won’t come under Angela’s gaze and be perfect for brown field site social housing.
Anything is possible now.

I'm not so sure. When Darlo disappeared in to non league abyss lots of people (including Danny Mills) reckoned that only ten people and a dog would turn out.

This wasn't the case.

In fact there was a better feel around for those who stayed loyal, and of course it was nice to get rid of Singh.

Pools becoming flat track bullies in tier 8 would be fun for some, especially the young lads. I probably would end up going, IF Pools were able to carry on playing at the the Vic. A lot of of our dodgy stick 'fans' who are right out of the habit of going to games would just find alternative armchair viewing for a Saturday afternoon.

I don't doubt that there are some Poolies who are sincere when they say they are boycotting going to games while Raj Singh is the owner, but I bet they're numbered in the low hundreds not the thousands.

The only guaranteed way to increase attendances is to produce a winning team. If we stay in the NL, a new owner bounce affecting Pools' home gates won't last long if they haven't got the money or the good judgement to transform the club's fortunes on the pitch.

Harold Hornsey is fondly remembered for saving our club, but Pools struggled near the bottom of the old Division 3 every season he was footing the bills and crowds hovered around the 2,000 mark. Results and attendances only picked up after IOR started splashing the cash.

all true. now more than ever a pools win no matter how it happens would be seen by fans as a better game than some all action thriller with loads of goals but we were defeated. think the dodgy stick brigade could return as i myself are not that attracted to non pools games with teams i have little or no interest in games rarely much better than pools ones. staying at the vic is the most important as there will be few if any winners if we did move to the outskirts but would give one more reason not to attend. its as big a ball ache crossing the town in the car than my journey up. its just shorter thats all.

You could say the ones not going now are the sensible ones not ploughing money into a chairman who gave up on any ambition as soon as he got us into the football league. The club is an absolute mess at the minute, getting beat off utter shite most weeks. Losing to national north teams regularly now in cup competitions, pitch now a joke, ground been run down, a guy selecting players who has hardly picked a good one in 3 year. Not to mention looks like we have given the managers job to some I T guy, who now seems incapable of producing a side to beat any dross. Carry on as we are we will be in these dog and duck leagues anyway with huge debts.

Get rid of Raj and I'm sure myself and many others will go back whether that's national league or northern league division 2. This club has huge potential, never realised because we accept 2nd rate rubbish. A good chairman will see this club take off.

I'm equally sure that many will call it a day rather than support a phoenix club in div 8 or 9 even if they stayed at the Vic.
Best solution has to be the club is taken over as a going concern.

Agree,i'm sure you would fly up...a few seasons in the jumpers for goal posts leagues wouldn't hurt that much either.

Totally agree with you Mr Bones.
As one of the clubs 3000 plus loyal supporters and someone who has probably missed less than 100 games since 1967. It annoys me to hear such rubbish regarding going bust and starting again mainly from people who do not attend games, they choose to watch Pools through a dodgy stick on their computers never contributing a penny to the club but they always seem to know what’s best.

Apart from the odd season it’s been dire for 20 years. Post Cardiff we had dire L1 games followed by dire L2 games apart from one season. It’s been utter shite for the past couple of years and without a moneybags owner it will continue to be that way.

Where do you get “village” from? It’s got a population of over 50k!!

At least 1 Church n idiot = village. .
Anyhow well done Maccy

And you don't like that.
And we don't give a monkeys foreend.
Other Sports are available.

100% Billy.

Favourites for the FA Vase.(Wembley )
And maybe remember how to win an FA Cup qualifier.
There's Always positives ye.

hate that to happen as we are a laughing stock already but its a better option than stagnation which is where we are at the moment where nobody can see the end of it.

the way of football in the 21st century i suppose. not all clubs have owners who seek publicity but are doing the job quietly and still pumping in thousands to keep a club competative in leagues they would not be in without that owner.

Cudent handle a debt takeover with payments to previous n Sing.
That would be worse than what it is now on the pitch.

Has to be a debt free takeover in which ever division.

But there will be a few twists n turns in the boardroom by the time game 46 ends.

We could even knock out 3 wins in a row and Sing n Skippy are getting begged to stay on.

It's a funny old game

Confirmed Champions this afternoon

They have money behind them, we don’t so I’d expect them to be up near the top.
Having their own ground and a good fan base hasn’t exactly help Bury fly up the leagues like Macc have.

8000 + at Scunthorpe yesterday. There fans must have thought the end was nigh a couple of seasons ago, wonder how they'll do in the NL next season? Winning a title (in any league )must be nice, just saying.

I don't know why people say that kind of thing couldn't happen in our town and with a phoenix club as well (I know Scunny are original and Macc are not). Our town is no different so why not?

Double post

it would and i,m sure the vic would have sold out if we were top of the north section playing the second especially if that was an ex league club who bring fans to away games.
