Poolie fail to get to Wembley
Oh dear, they bottle it as Rotherham win 4-5 on penalties and go through to the EFL Trophy at Wembley. Poolie's very long wait for a Wembley goes on.

Re: Poolie fail to get to Wembley
I watched this game. Hartlepool were excellent and tbh Rotherham had to employ dirty tactics to get through the first half. They could have easily been down to 9 men, Rotherham that is.

Well done Micheal Smith! What do you know, it turns out Mark Cooper knows better than a lot of our fanbase!
People hammered him on here (hello Quakerz ) when he was a kid for us. Credit to him for going on and having the career he’s had.

Yep, spot on Piggy. There’s been a few situations like this, young players getting grief then proving their doubters wrong. Well done Michael Smith.

Re: Poolie fail to get to Wembley
Smith has turned into a proper player - bullied the Hartlepool defenders last night. Smith, Burn, Ferguson - we had a few decent young players emerge from the carnage of our last couple of seasons at the Arena.

Re: Poolie fail to get to Wembley
I hear that there has been repeated break-ins at VP. They must be having trouble locating the trophy cabinet.

Re: Poolie fail to get to Wembley

Re: Poolie fail to get to Wembley
To be fair if I remember right it was more a case of him not being good enough at the time for our situation, which he wasn't really - but he did have potential and has done incredibly well to fulfill it.Piggy_ wrote:Well done Micheal Smith!

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.
Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

Re: Poolie fail to get to Wembley
I do like to see them do well, then again i like to see all the north east teams do well. I often think how great it would be to see darlington, hartlepool, gateshead and york all playing in league 2AndyPark wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12, 2022 8:52 amPositive you’re a Poolie fan.shildonlad wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 8:28 amGuess they can concentrate on making a late push for the play offs now

Yeah, league 2 really is missing a team with 600 fans playing in an athletics stadium to be fairshildonlad wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12, 2022 3:56 pmI do like to see them do well, then again i like to see all the north east teams do well.

Re: Poolie fail to get to Wembley
Shows how much you know. Crowds are up and have often been over 1k this season. Also im sure gateshead would get far more in league 2 what with increased home fans and some large away followingstdk1 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12, 2022 5:05 pmYeah, league 2 really is missing a team with 600 fans playing in an athletics stadium to be fairshildonlad wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12, 2022 3:56 pmI do like to see them do well, then again i like to see all the north east teams do well.

Re: Poolie fail to get to Wembley
I doubt it. More away fans yes, but the bar codes are on the up so any floating fans are going to toddle off to at James park instead.shildonlad wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12, 2022 7:22 pmShows how much you know.

If they can get in, or if they can afford it.

Re: Poolie fail to get to Wembley
And if they can stand the stench of sportswashing.
Re: Poolie fail to get to Wembley
Poolie never made it this season, but York have a chance still in FA Trophy. Hope this is a distraction for their play-off push.

Re: Poolie fail to get to Wembley
Yes, good point. Chelsea V Newcastle at the weekend - YUK. I watched neither MOTD or MOTD2 and felt better for it.
