Hartlepool fancy dress last home game

[SKIPPER]

Should be a big crowd.Our highest non league gate for a league game was back in 1990 against Darlington-4244. I doubt we will threaten that but does any Statto out there know our top 10 league gates since we left the football league? It would be nice to put the gate in context.Talking of records aren’t Hartlepool the only team to have had to apply for re-election to the football league more times than us?

Spot on with your last observation.In fact back in the 60's they applied five successive seasons and when they escaped the sixth were given a Civic Reception !

Programme cover now, The Battle of fortress Holker Street. Am I the only one who thinks this is getting a bit cringey. I don’t get the total fascination with it all.

Programme cover? Can someone upload a photo?

We've sold more home tickets than we had against Salford at this time before that game. Would be good to get near that gate. Who knows?

Big shout out for the considerable amount of folk volunteering for the Club, Trust or collecting for K2B.

Well done the club for going with it & it’s harmless fun isn’t it & it gets folk talking about BAFC which is a positive isn’t it!!

Not sure I understand the K2B collection. A previous post said there will be over 20 people there tomorrow collecting for MIND, so are there two collections?

Explains that there are three chosen charities the supporters are walking for.
Mind, the brain tumour charity and the Bluebirds Trust are the three to benefit from their efforts!

Thanks for that. I was just a bit confused as a previous poster who is doing the walk said that there would be over 20 people there today collecting for MIND.
Under Charity law if a bucket says MIND then the money collected in that bucket has to go to MIND and not be split three ways, so I think the buckets/collectors need to be clear to avoid any problems for the new owners.

The buckets have the name of the 3 chosen charities on.
Tonight I collect all the money, and then use the money to sponsor our walkers meaning that the 3 charities get an equal split.
It's worked the previous 2 years so despite your concerns I think it'll be OK.
Thanks.

That's brilliant and makes it clear to everyone who they are giving to.

I would have just turned a blind eye anyway but just didn't want anyone to get into bother. I hope it's a great collection, and you do well on the walk, when perhaps you could do with it being a bit cooler! Good luck.
