Latest Trust statement: Trust Statement - April 8th 2018 The Trust Board are pleased to note that a consortium led by Raj Singh has exchanged contracts with John Blackledge for a takeover of Hartlepool United Football Club which, subject to National League and FA approval, will finally put to an end...

Today's HUST statement: In response to requests from Members for an update on the Takeover we would like to make a brief statement. In our last video update a fortnight ago, we made it crystal clear that having spoken to those involved, we could not envisage a scenario where the takeover would be co...

buying £11 pints in Leeds (don't ask...). Sorry, Allan, but I'm afraid you will have to explain that. Makes that London look cheap. Paid £17 entry to a beer festival then bought 8 tokens for £20, each one of which was exchanged for one third of a pint. £37 for 2 and two thirds pints actually comes ...

Just an update on what was raised on the night some late sales have come in and we now stand at £940 wish I could find another £60 from somewhere ! Well I couldn't go but you can have a fiver from me for the ticket I would have bought if I wasn't away buying £11 pints in Leeds (don't ask...). £55 t...

I wonder how many could afford to/would be willing to increase their commitment now knowing we've made such a great effort. I could afford to double mine, for example. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Just doubled mine, really easy. It's still a pittance, but twice the size of the previous pitta...

Yes it does, the subject line of the email is :

"Bring a MATE for £8"

That bit wasn't copied into the OP above though.

It isn't really a big deal to be honest. Our Board have tried to be very open and honest with the fan base and are trying to improve the areas that people have given us feedback about, communication being one of them. One suggestion was about having the option of informal conversations so we decide...

How did this go? Any revelations come out of it? Nothing at all. Other than 4 members of the Board and one volunteer from one of the workstreams, nobody turned up so it appears this isn't something that the fans really want. A suggestion had been made to us that having a regular informal get togeth...

A move to Fulham with a one season loan back would be excellent if it could be arranged!

Apparently there is information about the absence of Wheatley and Heaton in Stodds piece in the Echo today but as I only read it on line and the site appears to be down I can’t pass it on. :thumbdown: From Stod's piece in the Northern Echo: "Wheatley has been dropped due to a drop in performance in...

We really need to hang on to Wheatley, until at least the end of the season. If there is interest from a full-time club and if that has turned his head and he isn't showing the right attitude or performances in training, then he won't get picked. If he isn't getting picked we may as well let him go...

4 or 5 for me but 4 gets my vote because of the white trim on the sleeves.

Targeted fan days could work, sure, where we offer cheaper tickets for the odd game. If we had a few more seats, we could try giving some tickets away to schools in the town, but right now we want to be able to sell what we have. Plans are in place to offer discounted tickets in schools and to re-i...

My pals & I who attend matches together had a 'bucket bet' yesterday, we put a quid each in, one of us put a bet on with profits going to 'the bucket'. Having a winning bet yesterday guarantees £20 to start off the collection in a fortnight. We'll be doing that for all home matches for the rest of t...

Message for Milky. The new site needs a 'like' button.

I'll be there...

What always "amused" me about him was that the week and a half were in the off-season (not sure if the players were even back in training) but his reason for leaving was that he hadn't realised how much pressure came with the job!! God forfend that he would have ever have had to actually do anythin...

Ah...

That puts a different perspective on it.

Feels too soon to be going into admin after only being put up for sale 3 weeks(?) ago. Six groups interested in investing had signed NDAs last week and one of them had requested a period of exclusivity so I suspect there may be an announcement of potential investment on its way.

York site says 658 sold so far. So hopefully as others say it will be a sell out from them. Also great for our cash flow. Hopefully Darlo fans can show the same levels of commitment we showed to away game. If you know someone who's 'thinking about going' get online and buy them a ticket. Force them...

It's all a bit disheartening, kicking the can down the road isn't it... I know we have to do something, but another five years of the 500 club... Until it's out of the way, our budget will continue to suffer / we'll need other ways to make up the shortfall. Not really, this time there is a limit to...

Yep, he was squad number 12.

Major points from the Darlo meeting tonight. - Proposal. 1200 fans give £40 per month would generate £480 per person per annum. £576,000 per year. This could fund commercial assets (Similar to the shares we already owe - But not a chance will fans do this, we already stick in a load). thanks for th...

This week's fans lottery winner has thrown his £50 winnings into the kitty for this too.

Thank you Paul Brown.

...or maybe both if Harvey Saunders is on his way to York? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Would Saunders really go to York where his progress is likely to be stalled by not getting much game time under MG? I suspect he'll have more of an opportunity under our current managers than down the road...

Indeed, it was Nuneaton's decision to pursue Greg Mills that allowed Styche to sign a permanent Lambs deal, after representing us on loan in the 2015/15 season. Commenting on the signing, Manager Andy Morrell said “I'm delighted Reece has agreed to stay on. He had interest from other clubs but he l...
