Hartlepool United: It’s That Team Again…

A point at Harrogate was a massive improvement on the previous week’s thumping – but a win still eludes us. So, can Pools oblige? Well, if they certainly count as one of the teams that Boro’ used to be able to depend on for three points. Looking back over our …

Hartlepool United v Stevenage: The way that your hart beats?

Hartbeat

It’s now a week since Stevenage Football Club made the long trek south west for League Two duties. In an almost-perfect example of symmetry (but not advance planning), this week the long trek north east.

Hart Attack

August is over. Autumn is here. It’s nearly Christmas. And it’s now time for the League Two season to hit its stride in earnest.

No Time Like The Present, Right?

Morning everyone. It’s a strange one, but we’re almost willing to overlook last weekend’s 3-2 defeat at Plymouth – the Pilgrims sit pretty at the top of the table, while we’ve struggled to keep our head above water for most of the campaign. It wasn’t much of a surprise that we …

Carry On Physio – the definitive-ish Hartlepool preview

Have you been injured in an accident at work that wasn’t your fault? It won’t surprise us if Graham Westley has spent the whole week on the blower to Ambulance Chasers 4U making some claims on behalf of them guys who have transformed Paul Dando’s physio room from an oasis of tranquility (probably) into the most …

Boro's 2011-2 FA Cup run stretched to a fifth round replay at Spurs, where even then we dared to dream...

2011-2 FA Cup Run

In the absence of football, it means we get to pick and choose what we watch. And that’s good, because it ain’t always a laugh. The 2011-2 FA Cup saw us break boundaries as a club; reaching the fifth round for the first time. And then bloodying the nose of …
