[tinned]

I can't make it so cue a pulsating 5 - 0 win. I will be elated and pissed off in equal measure.

[Darth Vader]

2-2 draw.

Just over 3,000 with a taxi full of Poolies

[kshammer]

2-0 to us.

These are the games that usually let us down but I have a good feeling about this one.

(Cue unimaginable disappointment on Saturday evening).

In that case Grigg-Brandy; Grigg-Westcarr; Grigg-Bowerman? Just hope he's done plenty of shooting practice this week after what's been said about Tuesday.

I'd have him shooting through the hole of a tyre in training, that would really sharpen his shooting up i reckon.

It would have to be a monster truck tyre methinks.

[m&m]

I would not like to call this one. Just as likely to be a comfortable 2-0 win as it is to be a 0-1 defeat.

I am sure it will be an awful crowd though. I'd guess at 2875 with about 79 Monkey hangers in attendance.

Do we have around 1600 season ticket holders? I can't see many pay on the day's for this one given the last 3 home games.

[DonningtonSaddler]

4 - 1 Brandy, Grigg (2) Westcarr

Sennacot ingested at Crawley, touching cloth at Tranmere, pebble dash-ing the Monkey Hangers!

[JonnyOwen]

1-0 Walsall, Mantom! We never win easily, it always squeaky bum time when we are at home.

[Cully]

Walsall 6 Hartlepool 0

Dean Smith finally brings to an end the longest win less PERIOD of his life and is hailed by the fans in the Blue pop, Pot noodle, Paul's Boutique Stand © Asps as the Ginger Mourinho. Ole! Oh, hang on a second, they already do :roll:

Smith out, he's still rubbish - PERIOD

Can't speak for everyone, but where myself and Asps stand, not many people are using the phrase Ginger Mourinho :lol:

3-1 2975 in attendance.

Start of 4 wins on the trot.

Ouch.

[Darth Vader]

It'll be over 3,000, we usually have at least that in the home area's on Saturday games.

Probably be about 3,300 with about 150 Hartlepool fans. Which is still cack but that's the teams fault.

[DYSaddler]

1500 tickets have been given to school kids for today's game haven't they? If so, attendance will be over 4k
