I've got a special task for you Sam. I want you to ask your boss where he/she sources their chickens from and i'll bet a thousand quid he/she can't tell you. You'll get passed on to someone else who will give you an equally vague and ambiguous answer. It's mystery meat!!

Just booked my ticket. They add a £1 charge for booking by card and they said there is nowhere to park other than a big dirt field at the back of the club which costs £3. WHAHAY!!!! I'VE SAVED A QUID!!!! I'll buy a lottery ticket with it! Wait, I can't. They are now two quid! Sh*t!! Ok i'll buy a bag of tomato flavoured Snaps and a carton of Ribena. Man I feel so alive.

I will be there. Booked the train tickets in the excitement of Hargreaves' appointment, and only slightly regretting it.

I'll probably be there...Hungover.

Just had a text from Scottish Dom. He is coming down too so the numbers might not be too bad all things considered. There will be a smattering of dedicated northern and midlands based Gulls too I don't doubt as well as a tiny few from Devon and the south making the long journey up independently. Quite looking forward to it actually. I might take a brief sojourn to Seaton Carew beach to clear my head and lungs before the potential big finale. I say finale as if we don't win this and other results go against us somewhat then I would be doubly doubly convinced that it would be our last chance.

I've not actually been to Hartlepool itself or the ground but I used to live and work near Middlesbrough in a little village called Great Ayton on the edge of the North York Moors amidst the shadow of the Roseberry Topping. I know the area fairly well. It will be another ground to tick off the list anyway.

You may as well just go to Hartlepool and have a wonder around Jacksons Wharf opposite the ground to clear your head. Can park over that way from memory and got The Millhouse next to the ground for a nice friendly drink.
Had many weekends there watching us against them and Darlo, shame I cant get up but will be will be thinking of you all up there.

What is Jacksons Wharf daz?

a wharf named after jackson you plank.

I know that you spoon! :na:

I thought it might be some kind of harbour thing but I've googled it and it's just a pub! I actually want to walk along an open beach, murmur to myself a bit and go for a childish paddle. So Seaton Carew beach it is.

Just dont wear a monkey suit while you do it. You know what happens...

I don't need to mate, you've not seen my face.

Good luck - if ever in our entire history we needed to win a game of football then this is it.
Having seen us fail to beat Hartlepool earlier on in the season I am amazed they are in the top half of the table.
Hargreaves should be impressing on our players that they are playing for their futures. Miracle needed.

I reckon our new centre forward will be there too.

Does he rhyme with Smashley Poeman?

He wouldn't be new now, would he?!
