The shite painted wall behind the goal at maidenhead with the team name in alternate black and white letters. Awful.

It not being called "the Conference" anymore. Because that sounded better and you didn't have to do that thing where you pretend to count on your fingers and quietly mumble "5th division" (when people ask).

The shittest thing above all others being in this league is people saying what’s the shittest thing about being in this league.
We’re in it, learn to adapt to it and the quicker we’ll be out of it.

Last time Pools were in the N.L. there was live commentary on the BBC, a bit biased when Pools were playing away as it was the local BBC providing the commentary.
Also if I remember it wasn’t blocked if you were outside the U.K.

for me it has to be the silly FA cup competitions we play in rather than actual real cups like Pizza and Carabou

then its trying to get into the FA cup aswell and not being guaranteed the revenue we have gained from that the last couple of seasons.

yeh too many games all stashed in before the xmas break

and yeh the dog and duck teams that literally wont bring 20 fans to a saturday afternoon fixture at the Vic

but hey ho we might win more games next season and it be a bit more entertaining

not a fact but a feeling there is more mid week games played especially if you have a long trophy run and a few re plays. do not see much of a problem regarding the fa cup. we will only have 1 game to play to get into the 1st round proper and then if there isn,t a change of ownership we,ll not see the benefits on the pitch of a good run in it.

Boreham Wood won their play-off quarter final the other night so there's a chance they'll be taking Pools' place in League 2 next season.

To be fair, that would put at least 200 on their average gates. banghead

Can you find National League games on IPTV? If not, you won't be seeing anything of Pools next season.

Guess they will be on IPTV then. "Due to rules around UEFA's Article 48 matches which kick off on a Saturday at 3pm are not available for broadcast Domestically and these fixtures will only be available to fans based internationally."
