Re: 2021/22 Season Prologue thread
Thats helpful thanks. If we had them all confirmed we'd have a starting eleven!
Re: 2021/22 Season Prologue thread
Think it was reported that Atkinson has signed for Shildon
Re: 2021/22 Season Prologue thread
Hatfield was confirmed at the fans forum so no official output, plus his recent interview confirms he’s staying

Fizzy pop awaits you!! (Just trying to keep this near the top til it becomes a sticky)
BBC gossip says Gianluigi Buffon (43) is leaving Juventus and is looking for a "crazy challenge".
We need a goalkeeper. Hmmmm!

Brilliant - we've had a buffoon or two before now. Would a crazy challenge appeal to Jamie Coppinger ? Anyway it's good to get all these pre-season details out so soon - are we cheering for Pool's in the play-offs ? We need one decent side from the region in the league.

On the subject of next season, is England in a Green, Amber, or Red group. Don't fancy travelling up Thursday for a game on Saturdy, and finding myself quarantined.

It's gone very quiet at the club, I'm presuming AA is on holiday at the moment?

Re: 2021/22 Season Prologue thread
You may of missed the intended friendly away at Newton Aycliffe FC on 6th July.
"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"
Re: 2021/22 Season Prologue thread
Anyone know when the fixtures are out?
Re: 2021/22 Season Prologue thread
If he is hope he is setting a good example and staying in UK. I am sure he will be working away behind the scenes and more signings and trialists will be in the offing.Darlo_Pete wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 5:10 pmIt's gone very quiet at the club, I'm presuming AA is on holiday at the moment?

Could be waiting until after the NL Play-offs to see who Hartlepool release?

Re: 2021/22 Season Prologue thread
Believe from the recent podcast he is looking slightly higher and waiting on those presently full time to decide if part time is something they want, Guys are back in training next week so anticipate a few turning up at training wanting to impress.MikeinBlack2 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 7:04 amCould be waiting until after the NL Play-offs to see who Hartlepool release?

Re: 2021/22 Season Prologue thread
AA gives a very good update of where he is with signings etc in his interview on the latest Darlo Fans Radio podcast. You can access this by scrolling down the news column on the official website (sorry, I don't know how to cut and paste links on my tablet)Darlo_Pete wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 5:10 pmIt's gone very quiet at the club, I'm presuming AA is on holiday at the moment?
Re: 2021/22 Season Prologue thread
Was almost certain I spotted AA hanging around Rockcliffe the other day
Re: 2021/22 Season Prologue thread
EFL fixtures don't come out until 24 June, so NL will be after that.
I am sure I saw somewhere else it is the 7th July at 1pm, but wouldn't put money on that.
For the NL the 2020/21 season is still underway - ie the Play Off Final
Re: 2021/22 Season Prologue thread
Nice to see that Spen still has 2 faces and thick skin after being called out for his Twitter comments by Gramps a week ago. Christ what a first class bellend he really is.
