For most "honest appraisal of his team's home crowds" award 2009 from Quakerz:

2,431 with 141 away fans.

Even I never expected it to be that low and I think I'm more realistic than most when it comes to estimating crowds - some clowns were expecting 4,000 with 800 from Rotherham? On a tuesday night! I thought about 2,700. The bottom has fallen out and fook knows what the answer is (other than winding the club up)

Its gone to a whole new level of embarassment. Two seasons ago we were getting gates of 4,000+ even though we weren't really threatening to be near the top 3, last seaon the alarm bells started ringing for me as even though we WERE generally top 3 and looking good for top 3 we were struggling to get 4,000 on a Saturday anymore and midweek gates were dropping to 3,200. That was bad enough.

But this season? Well.....

I think part of the problem is that nobody actually believes we will ever go up and therefore are not worth watching because we've been stuck here so long now and to be fair they did come out in reasonable numbers c4,000 to watch a slightly above moderate team hand about in 8th to 11th all season. Been there, done that, not worth it? Then add on the prices and general lack of money to the ingrained 17 years worth of apathy. I dunno.

The irony is that they have a very real chance of going up this season. Normally they come down with the christmas decorations but they seem to be staying the course. Mind you last season they managed to hang on but I see their nemesis is there or thereabouts too.

At the moment I honesty couldn't give a fook about Darlo's crowds.

They won away today, I wish we had the steel to do that more often.

I hope they go up. We could do with the points.

Enjoy our scoreline ..Strange timing for your post..Enjoy

Do you ever go to games?

Bit of an easy one to answer PJ!

Too much dosh at stake today. MIss Jackson ....Maybe Mr OO can find comfort from the gentleman in his last Avatar ..

So that's a no then.

Fancy starting a thread about Darlo at 5.01 pm ..Darlo win Pools lose come on MANNNNN..

If I had wanted it to be a dig I would have waited until you had lost.

Fancy constantly shagging at our legs like a fooking dullard Jack Russell with your shit craic, when you don't even watch your team!?

We can all enjoy the smillies Today ..

Well dodged Sussex!

In the profanisaurus next to the word 'lovely lovely person' it just has a picture of this bloke.

Explain ??? Are you upset ? or maybe you had nothing for breakfast ..

What's that yer fella's bum fluff.. Enjoy Mr OO ..and reap what you sow.

Sorry Mr I....He's such a fkkg jessy at times ..

Eh whats all this Pshdd Have a glass water lad sober up .

What are you on?

Is it glue or gas you sniff?

Or have you gone up market and started drink turps and brasso chasers?

I get the impression he's not the brightest of Loids.

It was the timing of thread Talbot .. ....Compliments of MrOO.. ..That Forster chap must be about Fifty now ..I remember him playing for Brighton against Man Utd ..

It's kinda embarrassing, this. He has something to say about this thread going up in the first place when he's visiting the Pools messageboard instead of his own. Absolute shambles.

I think he believes he's cutting and really getting to people on here, but half the time it feels like we only respond to him so he can make himself seem more illiterate, ill-informed and a true non-fan for his lack of turning up to his games without good reason.

Very poor indeed.

No .. the true shame is the TIMING of the thread Ginger....Have i come on here to laugh at the 90th min winner ?...Accept today's score Lurch..You will Stay up ,but just watch out for the MIGHTY DARLO ..

One of your lads in Brighton tonight OO ..

I'm not in Brighton Sussex. Just like you are not in Dagenham!

Sussex, are you the only person who cares at this point in time about Darlo in relation to Pools? Your neck must be killing.

Why are you Gingers always grumpy ?

I love it when people try to insult TGP with anti ginger stuff, I mean as his user name suggests it really does offend him, clearly. It's like when opposition fans chant monkey hanger songs at us, a nickname we've embraced.

I've found that the people who indulge in such behaviour are generally as thick as mince.

Why don't you keep your big nose out for once and stop licking ..

And then there's Mutley ... no fkkg hair

I'm only trying to help.

I've even taken you off my ignore list, I want to help your craic improve. I feel sorry for you, you're like a homeless child pressing your face against a window as family devourer a hearty meal, or the Jack Russell constantly humping at our leg. Having a go at 'the GINGER poolie' because he is ginger isn't really the work of someone with intelligence is it?

I've been called a Thick as mince Joey tonight ..

Disgraceful! Your name isn't Joey.

this thread has been rubbish

Thank you sir, it shows they're neither original or cutting

He simply resorts to half-baked insults on here, he's a fucking embarrassment.
