Fair play to them.

 

Professional football for little more than ?4 a game: they deserve to fill the ground.

Quality! With tickets that price the advertising campaign wasn't gong to have millions spunked on it was it?

Monkey hanging b?stards.

wigans would go something like, fucking fools, fucking fools,pay your cash to watch this gash you fucking fools.:rofl:

now that did make me laugh

Only 4 miles further than going to the Reebok. Think I'll change my allegiance.

I like that

 

One thing I never understood

 

They used to be hartlepools, but now it's Hartlepool

 

Why?

The most roughest place i have ever stepped on in 1976, i vowed on that day never to return, and i have kept my promise.

Oh you JCL. It was originally West Hartlepool or as the natives have it British West Hartlepool. I've been to Hartlepools more times than most have had hot dinners. It's not much different to other dock towns. I went to the football there in the 70s and had a drink in the town and experioenced no trouble whatsoever. Some people must just attract trouble or go looking for it.

Thanks Biff but that doesn't really answer my question so I'll do it myself

 

Having done a bit of research (When Saturday Comes article on t'internet), it appears they became Hartlepools Utd as it was West Hartlepool and Hartlepool joining together.

 

This was 1908; glad you could remember it Biff :good:

 

This changed in '68 when they became Hartlepool AFC and then in '77 back to United but with the singular Hartlepool.

 

I'm glad I looked as I never knew

Actually Jules, West Hartlepool and Hartlepool were unified in 1967. In the 70s the train station sign still said West Hartlepool with the west blacked out. Regarding the football team, they were originally named West Hartlepool United and became Hartlepools following unification later dropping the s. West Hartlepool lives on in the name of the rugby club.

Didn't that daft monkey mascot get elected as mayor of Hartlepool a few years ago?

As I said, I was going off an article that I found
