Southport away would be great, visit the family.

Dunston at home.

Stockport, Southport, York, Altrincham, Blyth, Dunston , take your pick. Think Chorley could be a banana skin like

Its going to be Blyth or Dunston at home and humiliation.

They did Chester yesterday, I bet the sweary mary brothers went ape.

stockport or york at home. two beatable proper clubs who actually have fans that travel to away games so giving the game at least some atmosphere.

York away, some great pubs to visit!!

Blyth For me, Hammer them and get pay back!! I was there that night right next to the Blyth fans in the Mill House.

Also where are Darlo in all off this are they out already surely not lol

I hope we get them in the F.A trophy when is the first round off that?

“The Emirates FA Cup fourth round qualifying draw will be broadcast live on talkSPORT 2 on Monday 8 October.
The draw, which will be hosted by Ray Stubbs, will take place at Wembley Stadium with 32 ties being pulled from the famous velvet bag.
You can listen to the draw on 'Football First', on air from 10am, with the draw due to commence at midday.”

First round is the weekend of the 15th December. The third round qualifying ties take place on the weekend of the 24th November so I imagine our draw will be that Sunday/Monday.

Workington or kidsgrove at home, that will do.

Whats this FA cup you talk about? I dont think we bother with it anymore

Prioritising the league is very fashionable. Excitement for the fans, writing a chapter in the club's history and picking up a cash boost is just so last decade.

Seeing as how it's a decade since Pools did anything remotely memorable in any cup competition (beating Stoke in the FA Cup 3rd Round) that's certainly true for Pools.

The FA have doubled the prize money so even this game is worth 25 grand to the winner.
Lets get as much money as possible as allways when it comes to the FA Cup

We have drawn Workington or Kidsgrove at home

Blyth v York
Dunston v Gateshead

Have Dunston really got Gateshead? Nice little derby match that like.

Didn't David Foley score a wordie in that match? if my memories serve me correct.

Yep! Outside the box right in the top corner, They were shite!

Yeah i thought it was him, Stoke where shite that day like I wonder where Foley is now last I heard off him he was playing in the states fuck knows how he ended up over there, I'm going to do a quick Google search after this lol

Yep ! ironic , given the original Gateshead ground was actually in Dunston

Foley has recently 're joined South shields from a stint at spennymoor. Been decent at that level.

I was all set for us to be the main billing on the evening's highlights after that game but IIRC Notts Forest beat Man City 3-0 later that afternoon.

Was a superb goal from Foley, like.

I reckon that was Micky Nelson’s best ever performance in a Pools shirt it was Stokes first season in the Premier League playing Tony Pulis’s brand of total football at the time none of the top flight could deal with Rory Delaps throw in we just got Nelse to stand virtually on the bye line and at times off the pitch then attack and head away every one, he scored the other goal as well I think.

Re-live the moment!!

and the BBC have chosen that match to stream on the BBC Sport app

Haven't South Shields been doing good in their league to?

Hugh Robertson's 2 Free kicks for me against Blackpool

First one got disallowed then the second one decides to smash It in the opposite corner, Brilliant

If I remember correctly Hugh put both free-kicks in, virtually, the same place. The first one right in the top corner and the second in off the underside of the bar. I think first was disallowed because their wall wasn't ten yards, which seemed to me at the time to be the stupidest reason to disallow a goal ever. God, how I miss players like Hugh now!

Anyone lucky enough to see Robertson's dead ball prowess will always have fond memories, though the truth is he didn't play that many games for Pools - not even a full season's worth.

Looking to the future, I'm much happier watching the likes of Davies, Kioso, Noble, Muir and James after putting up with the ineptitude of last season, with players as poor as Harrison, Laing, Adams, Oates and Rodney turning out regularly for Pools. Got to believe we have finally turned a corner!

They certainly have I seen the league a few days back, Have they still got Julio Arca? If so hell off a left foot for their league.

What a fall from grace after scoring against Pools in his prime.

No Arca retired at the end of last season I believe

It's Kidsgrove, they won 2-1 after extra time tonight

Northern Premier League Division One South.

What tier is this in football?

8 tier i believe. The question is do we play our best side and include a few from the bench?
Given the next league match is 7 days later i would go for an unchanged line up with earlier subs if anyone is not performing or is carrying a knock.

I think we probably could get away with a weak side for this one, however personally I don't see why clubs don't just put their strongest team out , go out all guns blazing , go 2 or hopefully 3 up , then take likes of Davies, Noble, Donaldson off at half time. I think Bates will want a cup run, I'm sure Raj will, so reckon there will be only a few changes tops, certainly Davies could be rested and possibly James, though with James its a good game to bag a brace or hat trick which would be good for him.

One thing that is unthinkable, is a replay down there, we don't want that at any cost.

It takes a brave man to suggest a weakened side after the experiences of the past five years.

The non(er)-league teams were all hoping for Pools in the draw. We're perennial cannon fodder.

Never beyond 4th round in 110 years of existence is unbelievable when you think about it.

It gets more believable when you consider how bad we were for most of the 110 years.

Dunston v Gateshead to be streamed live by the Beeb...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45841301

play a weakened side, get beat and they draw sunderland in the next round. you could just see it happening.

I would like us to put a strong team out, and see what transpires, get through to next round, and get Sunderland, what a great day and monie maker that would be for the club.

Also you get 25 Grand for getting to next round,. just had a quick look and there is a few £££ to be had, even for a couple of results in FA Cup.

considering the Shit this club has been in RE: finances


http://www.thefa.com/competitions/thefa ... prize-fund

Be a good match to watch that, I went there a few seasons ago nice welcoming club, Plus didn't we get Scott Fenwick from there? He's banging them in for Chelmsford City now in the national league south.

Be a dream draw that, Would you like it home or away? I remember been in the stadium off light on a cold January night with 10000 poolies around me and my dad, Great Memories. We hammered them that night to as well if it wasn't for Mart Poom in goal, We would off won that.

Shittt I didn't think it was that long like, Was that the Man Utd game where they won us at the Vic in 58 I think it was? (Correct me if I'm wrong) I'm not to bothered about the cups to Be honest I'd rather concentrate on getting into the top 7 and getting back to the football league , But still it would be nice if we get Sunderland in the First or Second round in the F.A cup that's if we win in the first round then there's more of a chance of getting them , That would be a money maker for certain , Or even Dare I say it get Darlo in the F.A trophy at home the Vic would be bouncing would be packed 7000 plus. Good old days.

But it was an afternoon game
