I've seen some excellent gigs in the area too. You've got the Trades Club just up the road in Hebden Bridge, but Halifax itself has had some crackers, most memorably The Ex at Arden Road Social in around 2015 with That Fucking Tank supporting. Never had the pleasure of a Mansfield gig yet but...

Thames definitely replaced Merthyr in 1930. Newport did not leave the league until they finished second bottom a year later and lost out in the election process, replaced by Mansfield. Thames finished 3rd bottom in that season, but were bottom a year later in 1931/32. They then resigned from...

That was a very odd move, seemingly triggered by a belief that Blackpool might bring as many as 1500! Even if that was the case, it would have been simple common courtesy to contact Town End ST holders and give them first option on any other part of the ground. Instead the club seems to have...

It sounds like something from a childhood story. On my first visit (an eye-numbingly dull 0-0) I half expected the catering hut to be manned by a family of friendly and magical badgers.

Looks like a tiring afternoon for Carlisle (We're not playing them, we're still in the FA Cup)

We were wretched, we really were. Today must rank among the worst displays of firward play that I've ever seen from two Football League sides. We were lucky insomuch that Oldham somehow conspired to miss even easier sitters than we did. They were awful, we were awful, not much more to say...

Chesterfield and Stockport would be my call too

I'd be happy to see Wrexham back up here but some of our Twitterati are still seething about the takeover. They seem to be bitter that it wasn't us while at the same time denying that they were ever interested in us.

By the way, if you were to build that table for all-time results, from 1888 to present, there is only one club who could boast(?) a goal difference in the minus four figures :wave:

Can't complain at all with 19th. Our best ever year (1956) would have seen us 3rd this year, and our next best (2002) would've seen us 4th. No other calendar year from us would have been good enough to crack this year's top 10, with our third best being almost identical to what Tranmere have...

A section of our support would likely spontaneously combust if it turned out to be Wrexham and Stockport, though Chesterfield and one of those two would also be unpopular. At least a Dover promotion looks a tad unlikely.

Yeah, definitely not a rugby ground. We've been playing Halifax at the Shay for over a century. First meeting was in the Football League Division Three North in November 1921. It's been a rough couple of decades for Halifax fans. I for one would be delighted to see them have some success...

As Yul Brynner once said, it's a puzzlement. I'd agree that our home support has been excellent, but that's largely been the case away from home too. Our away support in terms of both numbers and noise is the best It's been in many years, certainly better than anything we've had for well over...

I've seen no recent articles, but the claim would be spot on. Taking all seasons in which HUFC have participated (Football League and National League) over the last century, it used to be the case that ~60% of all fixtures resulted in a home win, with ~20% each ending in a draw or an away win...

Not winning is unthinkable at the moment. Our home record is keeping our heads above the waterline, and three of our next four league games after Saturday are away from home. I agree with the other Pools fans on here... Graeme Lee needs a good performance and a convincing win. I thought that...

Not hard to see where our problems lie. Our home record is automatic promotion material, even with the recent back-to-back defeats to Newport and FGR. Our away record is the worst in the division.

The match at Prenton Park seems an age ago. We were hugely wasteful that day, with countless golden positions squandered by not having strikers be where they are supposed to be. With last season's front two we could have won the game with ease. But we didn't have them, so we didn't convert...

There's something about Mansfield with us. 1963. Led 2-0 at home, conceded 4 in 20 minutes, lost 4-3 1982. Led 2-0 at Field Mill, conceded 3 in 18 minutes, lost 3-2 2000. Led 3-1 at Field Mill with eight minutes left, conceded 3 in 5 minutes, lost 4-3 2021. Led 2-0 at Field Mill, conceded 3...

1010 Poolies at Mansfield

(To be fair, 3-2 still flatters us)
