It's been a while since I've been this excited about a Pools match. In the past few seasons I've struggled to drag myself to the vic at times - often arriving at 10 past 3, today I can't wait to get sorted and get out for a few ales.

Thank you Ronnie Moore for giving us all hope (which is a good thing). A win today will turn hope into belief, lets get some real pressure on the teams above - We can do this

I'm nervous and excited in that order - though not as nervous as I was on Tuesday night. The great escape is definitely on but we can't have any more cock ups.

Never mind, after today only another 8 "I am shitting myself" to go!

I think it's safe to say we are all nervous. We know we can almost survive purely on home games and we caneed hardly afford to drop even 2 points today. A win today and we're likely to be just another win from getting out of the bottom 2. The boost that will give the players is enormous!

Thought I saw Steve Mqueen on his motor bike near Rink End car park.

Hate to tell you this but McQueen didn't escape...
