Going to this.....will be another ground ticked off the list.

So who is going?.....reckon we will have around 500 there myself....is that optimistic?

Been a tough few weeks lately so as i aint driving will be letting my hair down for sure.

Cannot believe it is a week Saturday :wotjump: :wotjump:

I shall be at V Fest, which I didn't realise at first but as I had no chance of going to Hartlepool i'm fairly happy about!

If I was gonna be missing for one game I'm happy it's one of the furthest away!

can't go to it, already got two saturdays off work this month and i can't make it back in time to mk in time to work an evening shift. 

will be up to preston though because tuesdays are easy to get off and i've never seen us play them.  will be down for the game tomorrow and the brighton game, the home saturday games are ok to get to for me as are some other aways, hartlepool just too far unfortunately

Save your appetite for the foot long hot dog, and your coins for the seagulls.

You going Sutton?

Was tempted by this but opted for the Preston game instead.

Tempted but its the wifes birthday and as i've missed the last 3 because of football, the ice may be very thin.... Then again i might try the old off for a paper trick and take my medicine when i get back.

Well you could always get Sundays by the time you get back.

Mr & Mrs Fatbasher and young master Fatbasher are going. Staying overnight and having a day out at a north Yorkshire theme park on the Sunday before Mr Fatbasher who does about 40k a year in his car for work drives everyone home. Oh joy.

Busmans holiday fb!

Exactly. This staycation idea of mine this year looks like being just that with the amount of days out we're planning. thank fuck Preston and Blackpool is off due to moving it back to the Sunday, didn't fancy that and return to work the following day.

Cant wait for this one, swore I wouldn't go if it was Hartlepool/Carslile away before the draw was made but I can't resist the opportunity to try out my 12 hours of downloaded tunes for the journey.

The last time I went it was our first game with Boss Eyed Wise at the helm and Brez pulled off some incredible saves, think we scraped a 1-0 and i got a barrel of abuse from some northerner as "we wur fookin shite" The tart in the tea hut thought she was Cheryl Cole too, in a Vicky Pollard sort of way

Hartlepool's first team lost 5-1 at home to Newcastle last night, whilst their reserves also lost 5-1 at Spennymoor.

True Story.

Duke & Duchess Going.

My 10th year Wedding Anniversary and we are without the kids for the first time !!
A weekend in the Hilton Newcastle with a "romantic  :)" trip to Victoria Park thrown in as a treat for the Mrs.
Lovely !!

Reckon 500-600 will make the trip and maybe a few more.

I've been twice before. I shan't been going again.

Going for the fourth time, flying Friday morning.

Not looking forward to the coach journey but shall be going, why o why cant we drink on the coaches :pint:  :cry:

Let the train take the strain! Having it on the 8o'clock off Kings X. Will take a repeat of the result when we had them first game of the season a few years back.

Few of us flying up on saturday morning on the 8.40 from bristol i think.

Bottle of orange squash with a nice dash of whatever is the answer.

Was for me for years as a regular SAS user moons back................17 seater for us this time around.

probably drive up if I go...although debating the train!

Be too dear now and it's a dog journey unless you get the mainline to darlington, and cadge a lift.

Not this time, will be sphering !!
 ;D

Booked hotel for Saturday night stop over with the family.

Shall be going with a car full of us, 7 o'clock leave.

Yep off to this one for the first time.

Glad I ain't driving!

Same as Benzel, and happier I won't be driving back Sunday morning after doing 'Geordie Shore' on the piss Saturday night!!!

half 6 start... 9 o'clock from kings cross... i'm gonna die  :pint:

As a homage to Lawrence the Transvestite,there will be 5 of us who have been scouring local charity shops,making the trip dressed as ladies!!Be kind,its our debut in the field of cross dressing  so no touching or smutty remarks.It will be worth it if we get the 3pts though COYR

Just go to a local laundrette and ride the tumble drier on cool setting. You'll save £££.

2 of us doing the trip, setting off by car at 9am. Cheap stop off tip to those who are driving, M1 services south of Sheffield (Hinkley or something?), they have a normal priced Macdonalds going both ways  :I'm a complete mofleakin Deak :I'm a complete mofleakin Deak

A bisexual mcdonalds? What does that involve a fillet of fish/cheeseburger combo?

Cutting it a bit fine?

Everyone drives faster than me, I think.  I'd be allowing 5 to 6 hours that trip.

My employee card for McDonalds means that the extortionate service station prices are no object, enjoy your full priced meals though.  ;)

Yeah, but you have to work at fucking mcdonalds, so i'd say we're probably even

 :D True. Not a bad first job though... Money is money, especially good money saved from buying extortionately priced McDonalds! :)

I'll be going, it's not much further for me than my home games!

Leaving at 4am to go via Whitby! Sharing the driving thankfully, didn't fancy driving there and back in a day.

aren't you still unemployed?

Fuck no.

Five thirty leave armed with plenty of London Pride...sunny and 23 degrees says the forecast.

May have to get a couple of extra bottles :D

Love it. Sort of a football version of test match special. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

I'm sure someone has posted on another page about car parking, so to save me the aggro of looking what is the sp on a) parking and b) a pre-match pint at a decent hostelry that will allow kids in?

Mr, Mrs and Master Fatbasher welcome you to say hello to us. I picked up the replica shirts today for me and Master and Mrs will have her generic Samsung Polo shirt on so the three of us should not be to difficult to spot.   

I think he works at Pizza Hut.

Got this from a monkey hanger I'm meeting up there

"We always park at the historic quay its free and close to the ground,then head over the bridge to a boozer called the ward jackson, Postcode for your Sat nav mate Ts24 0xz"

He assures me it's a weatherspoons and OK for away fans, so that's where I'm heading, never been before so I know no better.

Make sure you put that code in proper...or you may get wet.

6am start 5 of us up from RWB, driving to Newcastle dropping the car off at the hotel, train from Newcastle to Hartlepool, plenty of beers, see a Town win and celebrate in Newcastle for a night out.......not looking forward to a hangover Sunday!!!!

Bogus Dave posted a little while ago and described his job.  Think he's a van driver for these people:

Just all make sure you have a hot dog in the ground they are called frankenfooters

I sure as fuck do not

just got in the house from Corfu flight.

This means....I cannot go and Pools was on my list to do.....bollocks!

I think the pub that SleafordRobin is talking about (above) is called Jackson's Wharf.  It's across the road from ASDA.

Have you got an eternal vendetta against fast food or something Dave?

No the ward Jackson is a lloyds pub, I was in it yesterday.
