Poppycock

Billericay is a basket case club. See they have reappointed Harry Wheeler as Manager. They have reduced the playing budget and aiming to be self-sustainable. All this whilst the owner is living in the USA now supposedly getting treatment for drug addiction I think I read.

Would suggest the NL North is the stronger league out of the two, particularly when you see how well last seasons promoted sides are doing in terms of north v south.

Most of the strong clubs from the South are already in the National League though.

True horden, Players from down south tend to stay down south they never venture from there ie on loan. Probably why we have to stick to our native north east for loan players, Players from down south just dont want to touch us or if they do they will want X more amout off money.

You’d know.

Historically players who came to Hartlepool tended to be in a last chance saloon situation, it was like that in the 70s, after you failed here , there was generally only one place left to go, Workington

As I have said before Smithy, unless the structure and mentality of the club drastically changes off the field, then I think there is more chance of us going ever further down the football pyramid than getting back into the football league, for Wrexham, Luton and Lincoln read York, Stockport and Torquay.[/quote]
never said a more correct set of words horden. my son watched the game who played at a decent level and only had interest in the result because of me. he said that shambles was being kind and his partner said that pools reminded her of stockport county when they went down to the conference north. sack one manager then appoint one no better then he goes sacked or walks and another takes over. for me the season has gone from early hope to being annoyed to could not give a damn anymore. at least pools might play darlo and spennymoor in proper games next season.
