They definitely dropped the prices to a fiver the last time we were there in the Football League, in the season we were both relegated

I couldn't possibly comment, but you might want to ask Torquay fans about his handling of the NL playoff final this summer

Does that still happen? I thought most clubs would have been embarrassed out of that practice by now. Pools have currently sold over 600 tickets for the match too. Should be decent.

Don't. Still hurts.

I have plans on Saturday evening that mean I won't be making the trip to Orient with the Poolie hordes (550 tickets sold so far). I've been around half a dozen times and have some good memories. Highlights include a 4-2 winunder Danny Wilson in 2007 and a 3-1 win three years later with Gary...

Showing concern for the underdog, the less established club trying to grab a foothold? He might be a politician, but it'd be a fucken stretch to label him as a Conservative one.

??? No, I formed that opinion on about three seconds of highlights - the three seconds that showed that disallowed goal. I was at the game. Harrogate had got themselves into a 2 goal lead and silenced the crowd. We needed a good start to the second half. That third Harrogate goal, had it...

Looking at the highlights, as good as our comeback was, and as dominant as we were in the second half, we got away with it yesterday. Harrogate scored directly from a corner early in the second half but it was disallowed for reasons that I can't decipher from the video. I'd have been fuming if...

We've got Daly for the whole season, though Huddersfield have a recall option in January.

Agreed. I just picked two teams, more or less at random, who appeared to have travelled significantly different distances. At the end of the season I would expect Swindon to be very near the top of the list, miles adjusted or not. It's not because Swindon fans are innately better than, say...

Niche stat: the 14344 people present at Valley Parade on Tuesday is the highest attendance to ever see Hartlepool United win an away game by more than one goal. It beats the previous highest of 13717, also at Bradford, in 1952.

Nice work. That looks about right to me for where we currently are with the season. It will change a little as teams dip in and out of form, and as the season builds to a climax, but it's a pretty decent guide right now. I think back to our last L2 promotion. A lot of our fans will still...

A flat average away attendance is a useful measure but with an obvious flaw, as pointed out above. As an example, Exeter will have done more than twice as many miles as Swindon so far this season. A quick glance at the fixtures shows Swindon's longest trip as being Scunthorpe. Exeter have...

Has anyone seen an attendance for the game at Bradford last night yet?

759 Poolies at Bradford. Decent considering we made a bit of an arse of sorting our allocation.

And when the away win finally came, it was a piece of piss. That never looked like being anything other than three points. We played... quite well. Delighted for Cullen. Now let's make this away win count by following it up at home.

I think Bradford have been pretty ordinary, but I've seen a lot worse this season. It is refreshing to be playing with a proper #9

I'm not sure what the protocol is here. We've scored away from home. Does that count? What happens now?

Oh it's unquestionably our fault. Not sure who it was who only requested an initial 500 tickets for a match that's only 80 miles away, but it was a bloody stupid call. And then to compound that by only asking for a further 200 when the initial lot sold out quickly is scarcely credible...

Home to Wycombe, currently joint top of League One. On paper that's about as tough a home game as we could've got, but it IS a home game, and they might rest a few. We've got a chance.
