It could be arranged. :shock:

I don't think I will bother, they probably won't let me use my season ticket to get in for free.

Go and support the "toon" after all it is your home town team, plus it will be a good excuse to rip the pizz should they win.

It's bad enough watching Pools in a pre season friendly playing Billingham and we normally put about 4 past them --- don't waste your life watching that shite Mr Billinghm Poolie, you could do something far more constructive like having a wank or 10, spend the night on facebook, watch Coronation Street twice or go for a nice evening jog......

I've been looking for a way to lose some weight, I might just take up your last option, down Marsh House Avenue, Cowpen Lane, and Bedford Terrace, lean on a barrier, hang around if Town are winning, and I'm knackered, and ask that nice Mr DL5 to give me a lift home, he seems to know Billingham better than I do.

If he gives me a lift, I'll make him suffer, and I'll give him 50p for his petrol.

Shiiiite we lost 3-0 .. confised

BillinghamPoolie · **Posted:** Sat Jul 11, 2009 7:51 am

If only that was right Sussex, you won 3-0.

I went along for about 30 minutes of the second half, and apart from the lad on the right side of midfield (number 12, possibly Mark Converry) who hit the crossbar, it was difficult to tell which was the lower league team. Aparently Dean Windass was the difference in the first half, scoring 2. Thorpe got a tap in near the end, according to this mornings Echo, but I had left by then. I can't see him getting many goals this year, he wasn't getting anything out of Town's Northern League defenders.

On the whole I'm glad I went along, it gives me a warm feeling thinking about how bad they were.

TeessideQuaker · **Posted:** Sat Jul 11, 2009 10:01 am

I don't really think 30 minutes of a team's first pre-season game can tell anybody how good they are going to be.

I think the likes of of Lee Thorpe has proven how shit he is over a period of many years in the fourth division (and lower).

A rank centre forward, in the fourth division clogger mould.

I've never wet my self for a long time, not since....... well that's another story.

I certainly don't have any reason to be in fear of Deano, in case you've forgotten we're still a league higher than your lot.

congratulations for being slightly ahead for less than 1/10th of our histories.

Not so long back someone did a "history" league table showing an average ranking based on league positions from the creation of each club.( a hundred year+ league table if you like) I recall we were slightly higher than you. maybe you could dig that one up

You brought up the past.

I've had this debate lots of times, what do you class as now? this second? week? couple of months? season, last 20 yrs?. Hull were 4th best team in the country for a while last season but they weren't really were they?

Hartlepool and Darlo have always had "we're better than you" debates, you're currently in a higher league that's undeniable but you've got to go all the way back to settle it correctly and fairly.
