Familiar words in this Hartlepool(s) programme which could have been written about many a club over the years: getting out of the Doldrums; rallying around; a need for backing from the local populace; gratitude for the yeoman work of the supporters' club. Almost timeless messages at our level.
Back then Hartlepool(s) would have been dismissed as "dead wood", especially by knowing people in the south. Gateshead had been booted out of the Football League a few years previously and what's the betting that another North Eastern club would soon follow suit just like Ashington, Durham and South Shields (sort of) in the past? Hartlepool(s) held on valiantly and, in time, flourished to a fair degree. Alas not quite the same, eventually, for Darlington.
A trip for us to Gateshead next season? Saturday may provide a further clue. I just hope the wind won't be from the east at Hartlepool this weekend. Maybe, just maybe, it may have been a balmy August evening back in 1963 with sunburnt souls streaming off the beach at Seaton Carew to witness our splendid win. Perhaps not but you never know.

Cecil m Yuill "made the right move" for 50 years after this game, but sadly their day has come. "Administrators are hopeful of rescuing a prominent North East housebuilder after receiving interest from potential buyers within days of being appointed.
More than 50 jobs are currently at risk at Teesside-based Yuill Homes, which called in a team at Baker Tilly after falling into difficulties.
But Steven Ross and Ian Kings of Baker Tilly are hopeful they can save the 87-year-old company, which is headquartered in Hartlepool but well known for a raft of developments across the region."www.thejournal.co.uk/business/business-news/jobs-risk-yuill-homes-calls-6729924 |
