The Poolie Bunker

We'll get this narcissistic kunt away from Pools is voting with our feet. I know this will hurt some people but it's the only way....

DO NOT BUY A SEASON TICKET & STAY AWAY FROM THE VIC WHILE RAJ SINGH IS STILL DICTATOR!!!!
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO REMOVE THIS DESPOT!!!

Correct…time to bite the bullet.
No if’s, no buts…the whole charade is surreal

agree, it worked eventually at blackpool with the oystons. if fans want to see there team go to the away games you have the time and money to do.

Agreed, I’ve been going since the early 70’s, man and boy, but I can’t go anymore when this clown is in charge. I never took part in that ridiculous vote and I won’t be renewing my season ticket while he is still there.

I’d have been wary before, but now there is no alternative.
If anyone is still clinging on, let go and save your club.

we have reached such a low that the devil you don,t know must be far better than the one we know.

Its as clear as day ! yet many still don't get it, should've have happened after been relegated from Football League for the 2nd time, in 5 years.

Id imagine it will be the youngest generation and a few oaps with zero ambition that will be against a boycott.
Remember this is pure shite nailed on relegation team on its way to div 6.

We will get our club back.
Timescale basically depends on supporting the boycott which will grow rapidly from November.

Stay away and let Singh put Pools into admin, he would have no qualms about doing it, relegated to wherever, maybe end up like Darlington 10 years in the wilderness no proper ground, yes great idea a boycott.

He's a business man, hit him in the pocket. It's the only language these fuckers understand.
There's a legitimate buyer there, they have finance and ambition. Fuck Raj and his ego trip. Let's have it!!

It’s not his pocket, Pools are run through Clarence 18, Singh won’t lose anything, it didn’t bother him when Darlington went to the wall.

Hit him in his ego then. Turn your back on him and say 'fuck it'... To paraphrase Ken Kesey

I'm glad you agree it's a great idea.
But still have to have snidy digs.
There is a duty as high council tax payers that the Vic stays our home forever.
Hindsight
We should of took the A 7 years ago.
We would be most certainly be in a better state than were we are today.

Boycott is a temporary fix that under these dispicable circumstances has to be adhered to.

We've gone from Deadpool to Deadpools.
It's beyond me how anyone can want this shit to slowly but surely continue.

Another unsubtle threat to deter the fans from Tokyo Rose….. What would you recommend, we roll over and give thanks to God he’s in charge…?
Buying a season ticket will never be a problem for you …and probably never was.

As usual Snowy you have to get your normal snidely comment in, yes I have bought season tickets probably as many as you have ever done. I pay to watch Pools on the TV and bought merchandise from the club shop in past. If it meant saving the club I would buy a season ticket and give it to a deserving Poolie fan.

What’s your options Snowy, bankrupt the club, starve the club of funds then you and the others will be complaining about the quality of the players Pools sign.

Some just dont get it and never will get it. If they cant see whats happening now they never will.

Snide digs ?
Do you think the Council would let Pools stay at the Vic rent free if they went out of business and started again, I doubt it.
How long would a boycott last for, Singh is a businessman he won’t be held to ransom like any other business person. He can cease funding the company he set up to run Pools, Clarence 18.

Get what ?

What is happening now? There's a nigh on total communication outage which has gone on for weeks. Rumours are flying left right and centre but that's all they are.
It's a waiting game for sure and the longer it goes on the more disgruntled people will become and the wilder the rumours will get.
Wonder where the Director responsible for improving the fan experience is, have we heard anything at all from him since bigging himself up over the Sarll appointment.

‘It’ !

In a vacuum, rumours run rife …..and what else was expected to happen when we are left in the dark for months and fed bland statements.
Rumours, no matter how ridiculous, are flying about all over the place ….so no one can complain when this scenario exists.

true, but when there hero from history is king canute what do people expect. possibly raj coming out on the pitch with his sheet of munich paper telling fans it will be piece in our time.

I’ve got a better idea, let an egomaniac take the piss out of you for years and use the club you supposedly love as a toy and a weapon against the loyal fans, watch shite players and a revolving door of shit managers hoping to hit a jackpot and then a few years down the line go into admin anyways! Time very well spent in my opinion.

My only hope is this gets sorted before season starts so we can catch up/stay up next year and have a crack in 26/27…what a fucking state

Personally I think the Council might waive the rent, its certainly 50/50 as to whether they would or not, not as conclusive as you would think. Remember the supporters can also put pressure on councillors as well. A boycott lasts as long as necessary to achieve whatever is your goal, in this case, for either Singh to sell up or go. As for the business person Singh, like any business person, if their assets are at risk, or they see their bank accounts shrinking, they often come to their senses and cut their losses. As someone said earlier, this is the only language businessmen understand, hit them where it hurts, in the pocket.

For those doubting a boycott, or a fresh start

Afc wimbledon are currently in the play offs for a league one place

They had to start again in 2004 after the MK Don's debacle

7 years later they hit league 2

It can be done

Wimbledon have a wider catchment area, bigger fanbase, more illustrious history, wider media appeal and a significantly wealthier fan base than Hartlepool.

I wouldn't want to think we could replicate that. Chances are it would be a lot more like darlo, Chester, Halifax where the top levels of non league become a success

They had no ground

They held trials on wimbledon common

They started way down in league 9

It's something that can be aspired too

At this point any glimmer of hope is better than the clown in charge

All that is based on what exactly?

They were part of one of the most widely publicised folding of a football club in history. Wimbledon is one of the wealthiest parts of the capital city, they're a former fa cup winning team with a history of playing in the top division.

Hartlepool is regularly on the list of most deprived areas in the country.

Darlo, Halifax in particular are similar towns in size and fanbase as pools.

Is that enough?

So are we supposed to just accept shit and be grateful because we are supposed to be a deprived area….do me a favour and drop the tedious stereotypes.

Wimbledon won today in a 51000 crowd.

In the football World that shows that there's life after death.

Anyhow going by the latest banter seems like this boycott is growing rapidly.

Exactly.
When we previously showed ambition a fair few posh southern players dident have a problem coming to Shanty Town Artlepool

Is this the wimbledon that were getting about 3.5 k in the top league.

So what no one has ever ploughed vast sums into this club. Any club that can take 10k to sunderland 4 k to darlo 18 k to south wales has huge potential its never ever really been tapped into. Its easy to write us off and its defeatest. I hazard a guess if the wrexham owners were in charge of pools now you would see a vastly different club with huge potential

So Surrey should have the wealthiest, highly supported clubs? They've got Woking.

The ground would be up to 10000 +

Debt to raj singh gets bigger. The club becomes less appealing to buy. Playing standards get worse. Did you see the retained list. Scary or what? Crowds drop like a stone possibly a generation of fans lost. Chances of conference north football now a massive possibility. The hangers on killing the club too still there. We are a laughing stock now. Wake the hell up lets get rid of this man, how do we do that? Only one way will he sell and thats by hitting his pocket. Remarkable isnt it this guy returns once again now season ticket money rolls in.

What happens in 6 months when we are struggling at the foot of the conference whats left of the fan base will vent their feelings at one man . What do you think will happen then?

Attendances already down this season compared to last

Thanks to the Rajinator

The killer of football teams

And a fair few of them crowds were rigged up to try n get an overpriced sale.

It didn't work.

Boycott is all well and good, But true fans of the club need to make the "Matchday Experience" as horrible as possible (in a peacefull manner) outside the club on matchdays.
Wheather he is in attendance or not, If not then the Iterim board can have it in the neck.

Raj would just cry victim.

I am now a pay on the day fan depending how i feel. I will go and see how it goes next season and then decide whether to continue or not.
I am in control not the Chairman.

I'm an exile anyway

I generally buy a home shirt for me and my oldest

Nothing this season until Raj clears off

It'll be away games. Not one penny goes into his pocket or the club until he's gone

All he cares about it £££ so giving him money is certainly not the best way forward

fans can do there bit and not boycott games. really how many would boycott if a miracle occured and a good side was cobbled together and we were winning. there are other ways to hit him in his pocket by just paying your admission fee and not spend another penny on anything inside or outside the ground. any items from the club shop are not needed as is food, drink, programmes or the half time draw. probebly the hospitality crowd will be singh fans or have not the interest in the club as we have but they,ll still be there.

Mickey Barron in the Mail saying Pools has huge potential and should be aiming for league one again.

at this moment of time thats totally pointless talk. as bad as a new owner coming in starving the club of the playing budget to splash millions on the rink end giving the vic a 10,000 plus capacity.

And this is what Sing has done.
Totally brought down the ambition levels.

Wrexhams ground capacity increase probably been payed for now.
Now it's just profit galore.

Speculate to Accumulate.
Got a bye to FA Cup r3 also.

That Cudda been us.
Some detest that though strange fuckas
