Hartlepool's league survival

Screenshot_20230325_155236_LiveScore.jpg

Rochdale are the only team below Hartlepool, but it's still a blow.

Hartlepool are currently drawing 0-0 with Leyton Orient.
 
Hartlepool 0-1 Leyton Orient

It's looking bad.

They're currently 5 points from safety having played a game more.
 
Hope they pull something out of the hat in the next few weeks...

On another note, why has there always been a camaraderie with Pools but there was a hatred with Darlington - at least when they were further up the football league - thinking 85 & 86 in particular?

Teesside vs Durham?
 
Looks bad for our sister club..... hope you stay up poolies....could be a looooong way back if they go down....
The new manager is unbeaten so far although they are all draws it’s encouraging and he’s well liked as I understand it.
They just need a bit more luck because they could’ve beat orient on Saturday with the chances they had
Come on pools !
 
You do wonder if that will be it for Rochdale with regards to league status. Many have failed to come back (and not just those who have had to start again like Darlo and Scarborough)

Poor scunny could be playing South Shields next season in a league game have Cleethorpes as their local rivals!
 
If they do go down, I think we should go get Josh Umerah and loan him to a league one club. Lad is a talent

Draws are a start - becoming hard to beat and to stop losing is the first aim of a manager coming into a situation like Hartlepool's.

They now need to turn some draws into victories and start going ahead rather than chasing the game. They have a slim chance

I like your positive thinking and I do hope they manage to pull survival off but Crawley has picked up 7 points in their last three games. Hartlepool are unbeaten in their last three games but need to start turning these draws into wins.

Harrogate aren't out of it but I would rather see Crawley go down just because they are southern based.

As mentioned previously, it might be time to split the division into North and South.

I have thought that for a while
 
Since 1986 Boro have had their most successful period in our history, without the helping hand of Hartlepool in our hour of most need that period does not happen, I and every Boro fan should be eternally grateful and wish our nearest league neighbours every success, hope they escape relegation and can re-build for a future that becomes the most successful period in their history.

Great supporters who always back their team, I'd encourage anyone who's not been to the Vic recently to get down there if they're given the opportunity, Hartlepool are not our rivals, those League Cup ties in 86 being our only ever competitive meetings, so why any Boro fan wouldn't want them to survive is beyond me.
And Hartlepool where possible should be our first look to in order to support them with loans! We need them to do well for the area and their town….
 
Hartlepool haven’t built on promotion. Singh is a strange owner, just ask Darlo fans. National League is a tough league, with a few clubs with better pedigree than Hartlepool. Half a dozen clubs have been getting gates around 5,000 mark or better this season, mad considering what clubs, including us, used to get in the Championship in the mid 80s. Even National League North is tough to get out of, Darlo battling there with ex league clubs like Chester and Hereford.

Why? We have to pick the correct clubs for the correct player, we can’t just send them to Hartlepool because that’s the easy option.

Why?

It's not like it works at the lower levels.
Gloucester are in the National League North, which shows how difficult it is to segregate by region if it feeds in to a national league in a pyramid.
