Very astute of Landon getting a prime position at this huge event in New York, can only be a good thing for the Club

Jeff Stelling on X

Superb from Landon putting the club among the giants of football. Everyone will want to know who we are, what sort of club we are and by the end, they will. They'll learn of our ambition, why Rob and Ryan wanted us, why we are monkeyhangers. Stand by for an explosion of interest.

There’s no such thing as bad publicity, getting your name out and raising the profile is the route to better days.
It’s called positivity.

1st is a dream but 7th in unambitious. lot will depend on the others and how good they are. at least we will be turning up in august with real expectations rather than fullfilling fixtures with the hope of a few wins.

plus money makes money as well. you,ll never get good news on that front if you are on your uppers, but have a good week at work you know the car will pass its mot and the kids do not need any clothes or a school trip is due.

Great opportunity to create interest and financial support to our club in a scale probably never seen before.
Hope it goes well and Landing gets what he wants for us out of it.
My mind certainly plays havoc with the thought of what a VIP trip from the USA to watch a live game at the Vic entails though!!

What a place to launch the new kit- amongst a ticker tape fanfare, of the like we have never seen! :dance:

They might even have gold taps and Heskulators at the venue- think I'm going to have to go and have a lie down! :lol:

The Yanks will have it before we do, hope we've ordered extra stock, and plenty of plus plus sizes as there are some right fat knackers stateside! :pray:

wonder if more local businesses will wake up and realise that the town has a football team and now want to be part of the act.

20 have signed up to the club's Monkey Business initiative since Landon Smith took over. Plenty more will follow if next season's promotion push looks like the real deal.

With Trump taking a keen interest in football these days, who knows the USA president may even get to know about little old Hartlepools! :lol:

Stranger things have happened - afterall Meatloaf was a big fan, around the turn of the century!
Rumour has it, that it was the debacle of the Calamitous Coxberg Regime at Pools, that led to the stress on his heart and the Clencher that did for him.

Trumpy is more of a Village Person- he loves the actions, apparently

... and he may even have got the Chris Westwood penalty/ sending-off decision at Cardiff overturned - a stain on the game .He knows about these things. He would have known that wasn't a penalty.

It’s all about winning and presentation……give the floaters what they want and you have success as the numbers will increase…sustained success will increase it even more.
It’s entertainment, despite what some footy nerds think,…… and entertaining football and presentation brings its own rewards.
We’ve been swinging at anchor and staying afloat…… and now we’re firing up and getting underway.

There maybe a hint of optimism that this new owner maybe a speculate to accumulate owner.
Exact opposite to the last one.

I honestly believe a cup run would actually benefit all connected to HUFC.
A bit like buying more money in the commercial world.

And yes I have moved on I'm just stating fact.
That's why I'm back at the Vic next month after 3.5 years away.

No excuse for the stayawayers to continue now.

Expecting a few superfan responses :text-lol:
