The Poolie Bunker

How we took the piss over Darlo as that snooty voiced iconic message,….MIND THE GAP!…. beloved of tube users ….utters that phrase.
Then used by us to rub salt in the wounds…..?
Maybe on reflection, the announcer should have said in that snooty voice..’Mind the Raj’.

Ooh me ribs.toot toot..Mind the gap...I think it was Pee J or Talbot Avenger who jinxed it,snowy..

I’m a great believer in what goes around comes around, so I avoid it.

I thought it was the loids that started that, when Gorgeous took over, with his PremierShit in 5 years bollocks. (The year before the Worm Holocaust)

'We're sooo RICH it's unbelievable!'
'Georgey Georgey Show us, your Scarf!' - didn't age well!

Toot Toot!

I seem to remember it was them lot too - all that Reynolds bravado. 'We'll never play you again' etc at Feethams in that play-off semi final

And look where it got them….nowhere.
If the boot had been on the other foot we’d have been the same and don’t deny it.
As for who started it ……you’d need a Time Machine.
It’s good old rivalry, I do miss it

We all fell for the bullshit.

100% we'd all be the same

We could end up reigniting that rivalry in the NLN sooner rather than later

Yes, we only have the one rival- as much as Carlisle, York and the Heed (to a lot lesser extent) try to wind us up- it's very much them that are bothered about us rather than us worrying about them.

As Vera Lynn once said- 'We'll meet again'........
Just hope it's NO lower than the current abyss we find ourselves in

Hartlepool and Darlo are ‘frenemy’s’

They’ll always be those on both sides who take it too far.

Mind the Stockton /Hebburn gap.

Its under the radar but happening.
Unbelievable Cecil.

I've a feeling in my water that we'll draw Darlo in the FA Cup first round next season, wonder what the capacity is at their current ground?, and how many tickets we'd get if it happened, would probably have to be played at the Arena due to high demand

FA Cup 1st round. how do you know we,re getting a bye in the 4th qualfying round.

Heaven forbid we reach the giddy heights of the first round proper

You're legs still up for the sprint back to the station then Mr p?

I never had any bother at Feethams Sussex, there was always an atmosphere and a look over your shoulder in those tight lanes around the ground, nearly got hit with a full can of lager at the white elephant while standing in the car park mind after the 3-0 win there.

Always parked up on the road to Blackwell Grange, when I grew up, no chew whatsoever.

Apart from having a few bricks lobbed on us after Joe had scored that crucial late winner I can't recall any chew at good old Feethams. I remember that we once occupied the tinshed before the Loids had even arrived and those nice gentlemen of Durham Constabulary allowed us to remain there - early-mid 70s I think.

Not such a popular drink now but the centre of the tin shed always reeked of stale brown ale back in the 70's if the place was full.. memories eh

I remember a Darlo fan being pursued near the Marina Bridge and jumped on a No7 bus and the driver obligingly pulled off towards the headland..as we were in the car behind it never stopped even at the Balls roundabout when we went another way….wonder if he got asylum on the Headland.
