I'd be plugging this today.

But now it'll have to wait a week or so, however you can PM me for more info.

"Throughout the past century more than 1500 players have worn the club’s colours in a first team fixture since the board of West Hartlepool Rugby Football Club took the decision to change codes to Association.

Exclusively available here, each and every one of the players has their stories told. From the greats such as Josh Fletcher, Jonny Wigham and Andy Linighan are the not so well known – the likes of Joe Osmond, George Oxley and Steve Winn.

Then there are the unknown players. Those who have played for the club but never in a league or cup game. The WWI guests such as Bob Pailor and those from WWII – Raich Carter and Bill Nicholson fall into this category. Also included are those who have appeared for the club in first team friendlies and testimonial games – some famous – some not. From Mannion and Clough to Cunnington and Kendal, they are all included.

You’ll read about a Lord, Postmen, Swindlers, Welders and Soldiers and many more.

Whether great or indifferent every player can be found inside. It doesn’t matter what you or I as fans think about them, for the fact exists that they have done something that we all want to do and that is play for the club.



Smile at the greats, wince at the embarrassments but remember them all.

A Century of Poolies – The Who’s Who of Hartlepool United 1908-2008 is available now for pre-order."

"Ordering the book is secure and simple. Just click on the link……yada yada

As this is a limited print run, it will be practically essential to pre-order and therefore subscribe to the book.

All subscribers will have their name, the year they started following Pools and the name of their favourite player entered in the back of the book – providing they tell me the details of course!"

But the server has fell over and the geek writing it all has to rebuild three other sites first as he failed to do something technical that is miles away from me and I'm still waiting on another printer to get in touch re their price before I decide who I choose.

Missed this bit off

"Years of research and persistance reading programmes, books and the local press has finally brought what started out as a schoolboy idea (too) many years ago to fruition.

Fans and statisticians of league and non-league clubs up and down the country have all contributed.

People from several overseas countries have also chipped in - Egypt, Belgium, Holland, Australia, Canada, America, France and so on have all played a part.

Without them and the special assistance of some key individuals and also the use of the amazing statistics and information available at www.since1888.co.uk and www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk this book would still be many months away from fruition.

I know that you will all enjoy reading this well illustrated book as much as I have enjoyed compiling it."


The draft of the site looked good as well

for now cos if the printer i'm waiting on comes in cheaper than the others like i expect him too, the 270 page book that will keep you on the toilet for hours will come in cheaper too.

Your book is going to give us all the sh*ts?

You'll sit forever on the bog reading it - it's a man thing being allowed to read for 30 mins with your keks down and sat on the netty.

It actually depends on what level of RAID is applied to the server hardware.

RAID 0 is not a resiliant level of RAID. Loose a hard disk in RAID 0 and the server is offline.
RAID 1 is a mirrored pair so the same data is on each hard disk. Loose one disk of the mirrored pair and the server remains on line with the second disk. This allows the broken hard disk to be replaced and the mirrored pair to be recreated under controlled conditions.
RAID 5 normally contains a minimum of three hard disks in an array one containing a parity stripe. If one hard disk is lost in a RAID 5 configuration the hard disk can be replaced while the server is online and the RAID 5 array rebuilt from the parity stripe.

When an ISP hosts your web site you need to be aware of the level of resiliance in a server or servers and what the SLA level is based on the server hardware.

PS looking forward to the book.

you need to get out more
not enough boddingtons last night

Still means fook all to me!!

at a guess i'd say lord seaton possibly is employed in the IT industry in some menial capacity after all if he was some sort of global architect he would have bought a car with leather seats and sat nav at the very least
