I'm not getting involved in slagging off Dave Challinor until I hear more. He's not the first member of staff to leave in recent months. I personally couldn't work for Singh, a bloke who referred to pandemic deaths in his care homes as "empty beds", lost revenue. A bloke who slags off former...

Chris Beech was a former player, and a good one, but his departure was not pleasant. He walked out and refused to play because he was unhappy that we'd turned down an offer. Never played for us again and left permanently three months later

Of course there isn't a perfect system, and all clubs with a reasonable following will have already encountered allocation issues. But factoring miles into the method is perfectly valid. Imagine a season in which Colchester were in the same division as Oldham, Bradford, Stockport, Rochdale...

By contrast, we have yet to go yourselves, or Swindon, Bristol Rovers, FGR, or Newport. Our numbers are currently higher than you might expect and are likely to dip, especially if the form falls off in the wake of Challinor's departure. He was a big factor in the feelgood atmosphere around the...

What's more impressive, 1000 fans travelling 50 miles or 600 fans travelling 250 miles?

Dave C's wife Kate has been getting tagged into some abusive shit from some of our more obnoxious twitter pricks. Easy target; she's on twitter, he isn't. She's put out a statement suggesting that there's more gone on here than simply jumping ship for more money, and she hopes those angry...

I'm gutted, but I'm not surprised. In fact my only surprise is that he didn't leave sooner, and I was gobsmacked when he signed a new contract. His frustration has been obvious in his interviews over recent months. I don't think I'm going out a limb if I suggest that Challinor and Singh were...

Yep. Occupational hazard of having a good manager... they get noticed. At least he achieved what we desperately needed. Getting out of that league is fucken tough, and I can only be appreciative of the job he did in getting us promoted. Stockport have got themselves a good one, and they have...

Dom Scurr (Hartlepool Mail journo) is reporting that the HUFC players have today been informed that Dave Challinor is off to Stockport.

Dave Challinor on today's ref "I've spoke to him afterwards and he's told me he's had a bad day. Not as fucking bad as mine I can tell you that, pardon my French." He doesn't blame the ref though. "From the second goal onwards, it's one of the worst performances I've been associated with...

They had a goal disallowed that would have made the half time score 3-0 despite the ref having blown for h/t and taken the teams off for 15 minutes at 2-0!

They were. We gifted them three goals but without that generosity they would merely have been miles better than us all over the pitch.

Erm...

673 pissed off Poolies at LOrient. That suggests at least 50 bought tickets but swerved it.

We do scare me to death at times with the way we tit about with the ball at the back. It was bound to bite us on the arse some day. Today's the day.

At least the cricket part of my day's sporting entertainment is going well

Goal disallowed for Orient. So if that had counted, what would the half time score be??

Very strange indeed. I don't think I've ever seen a ref blow early before, certainly not in a half where should clearly have been a fair bit of stoppage time. I wonder if he'll try to make amends by adding an absurd amount of time at the end of the 90.

We had hoped that the Bradford win was a turning of a corner, but looking like a return to normal away service. Poor from Liddle for that second goal.

I missed the Exeter match, but friends tell me that they've been the best visitors to Victoria Park so far. From what I've seen I'd pick Northampton, at least in the first half. They were comfortably the better side before the break and it was no surprise when they took they lead shortly after...
