I’m sure it’ll be up to 8 grand in no time.

Did HBC and Jackson’s Wharf not get round to adding their collection to the Just Giving page then? If they’ve done a new collection today, then fair play!
Or was there money left from Just Giving that was added to the Go Fund?

Either way, well done to anyone who did donate - can’t fault their generosity although I’m with the majority here in thinking it’s utterly futile.

It's utterly embarrassing - and to anyone who has their head screwed on who has donated to the previous fund me page (and there were lots from around the world) it makes us look even more pathetic than before. Anyone who has donated, yes fair play, but it's clear this is getting to be just a total piss take. £180,000 a month needed.. but now it's £33,000 a month? Eh? No wonder Coxhall and his merry men came up here.

Can’t and shouldn’t fault people for trying to do what they think is best even if you don’t agree with them.

Personally I don’t think it makes us (Pools) look pathetic, rather that it makes us look desperate. Which we are.

Agreeing with Ripper here. Its what people usually do in a crisis, PANIC, usually making the wrong move in the process. Can't see all this ending well, but like everything in life, it will all come out in the wash, so why get worked up about it.

It wasn't meant as a dig at the people who have set up the fund me page, it's the cash grab from the club again I was getting at.

It’s frustrating that the people setting up the page don’t seem to be prepared to even listen though even though they are so massively in the minority now, nobody has donated anything to the page today and it’s not surprising if it wasn’t for two amounts raised during the first push the total would stand at less than two hundred quid. Surely we’re all adults and can be involved in civilised debate it’s almost become tunnel vision clouded by an agenda. It’s like flogging a dead horse and a desperate waste of money.

Jeff Stelling has helped raise £1.2 million and cannot save the club, Chris Musgrave was prepared to put in £1.5 million and cannot save the club. Something has to change. What do people think this is achieving weeks after over eighty grand was raised never to be seen again. Why push your luck again and risk evaporating good will towardsvthe clubs plight? Fund raising for the current regime is not buying time its complicating matters and preventing things progressing one way or another. This is giving Blackledge a reason to not move the goalposts. Nobody will make a serious attempt to buy the club until he does. This meddling is potentially damaging.

I don’t doubt anyone’s passion and genuine loyalty to the club but for Gods sake take a step back and listen to what this second page is telling you. Why would any local businesses donate money to people who are failing to pay other local businesses and putting local peoples job at risk? It’s utter madness it needs to stop now. I have nothing against or any agenda with any of the people involved it’s just genuine concern and frustration from someone who’s every bit as much and as big a Pools fan as any. They are fundraising for a bloke who is simply trying to excercise damage limitation on his massive mistake.

And another thing that is disheartening is that some (albeit I don’t think the organisers as such) make comments that do sound like digs at the current trust amount as it’s some sort of competition which one raises the most

PJPoolie · **Joined:** Wed Mar 06, 2013 6:28 pm **Posts:** 15342

From the start theirs been a complete failure to understand the role of a supporters trust and no interest in taking the time to find out. It’s clear to anyone with a bit of common sense in what circumstances membership and fundraising would see a massive spike in the Trust. Whatever the trust have raised and have in the kitty it’s better there than handed over to asset strippers to dissapear into a black hole.

They brought in players on big wages and long contracts and said they had a 2 year plan. Blackledge approved the budget then three months into the season pulled the plug and left Pam to deal with it and face the shit from the staff they are making redundant. So no I wont be throwing my money into a pot to pay his tax bills when he is clearly making no effort to sell the club and wouldn't even show up for a meeting with potential investors. His solicitor is called Insolvency Geoff tells you what his plans are for the club and have been since December. If that makes me a non supporter of the club like that idiot on the other message board claims then call me a non supporter and to think he accused others of having a big ego when all he does day after day is talk about himself and how bloody important he is !

Oi, You! Mr Blue, seen as you have just blocked my private reply on messenger, here it’s goes on the Bunker, ;

“I don’t give a shit about keeping the peace the suggestion that you have ever tried to is hilarious you are the person who preaches about the keeping the fucking peace whilst doing everything you can to smear people especially the Trust. The majority on the Bunker are non supporters, eh? The majority think handing over money to asset strippers who just want out for as little damage as possible is fucking absurd. That is why nobody outside of your circle has donated. I only care about Pools, I do not care about ‘naming’ get over yourself your conduct is damaging the club.”

More thinly veiled threats of legal action from the bloke, very, very low. I am not sure what part of that post could be taken as slanderous and as I say we were having a private discussing on messenger I had no intention of posting it on here until I was blocked. He started going on about ‘Rodger’ Waters, I can’t even view the Facebook page God knows what is on that, I have no right to reply on his forum or privately. Can anyone see any accusations that aren’t true here? It’s absolutely bizzare conduct from a grown man.

He actually said that ‘most’ of the people on the Bunker are ‘non supporters’ so yes that does touch a nerve and that is also probably the definition of slander.

Just had a glance at what you were referring to PJ. Pretty much all of his statement I was just thinking “irony”.

So in effect if you disagree with him, you get banned off his board (and blocked on Fb) which then means you are not a true supporter of the club.

Slander refers to the spoken word.

Libel refers to the written word.

Nothing, it’s embarrassing by people on both boards and it makes me give up on being a pools fan if all fans want to do is have a go at each other over trivial stuff. Grow up. I’m not putting any money into fundraisers or the trust until I believe it’s been run by grown ups who can focus on what needs doing. Shameful the lot of you...

It adds nothing to be honest and I’m not proud of myself for getting involved but some things need saying and I’m just not having a bloke who purports to be a peace maker when he’s been the common dimominator in all of this shite. It’s absolutely pathetic. I would be fully prepared to say it to his face and have said so privately on the Internet. It’s not personal it’s just telling the truth. But he doesn’t want to read the truth. It’s not abusive or hateful on my my part just frustrating that anyone could be so blinkered.

What did the Trust do?

Not always been a big fan of the Trust but their Facebook Page is one of the few places you can see people coming together and being able to talk sensibly about the current situation without the name calling. Very unfair they keep getting lumped in with all the other shit going on especially when a lot of it is thrown at them and they always respond with polite responses. They must have very thinck skins is all I can say !

Wommers · **Posted:** Sat Mar 03, 2018 11:03 pm

Hartlepool is probably going to be the only place where a new/trust driven club is dead before it's even had a chance of getting started due to people chewing each other. We need a figurehead to get behind, some mush with money, because judging by the stuff which has happened among fans this season mucking in with each other isn't really an option.

Bossa Nova · **Joined:** Sun Feb 01, 2015 1:51 am **Posts:** 376

It's all a bit silly really.
Yeah, there's some shit things said on the other board (and this one is far from blameless) but to suggest fans, in general, are at each others throats is a bit extreme. It's probably no more than a dozen or so people that just love the sound of their own voices.

100 grand fundraiser?
