Favourite Pools Player Of All Time
Bobby Newton or Brian Honour
Best Thing About Supporting Pools
The passion, our fans, the attitude of the players, a positive management team and obviously our backers IOR who don’t always get the credit they deserve. And I nearly forgot the bloke who looks after the pitch, always top notch.
Favourite Season
Last year has to be my favourite year ever, every week was fantastic after a poor start and there were records tumbling every week. You could feel the tension either in the ground if you were lucky to go or at home listening to Pools World. Just the end of the season was a tad disappointing.
Hopes For Next Season
Obviously that we go up again and sign some more decent players. We need a goalie, I`m not sure about the new lad and I reckon he should start in the reserves first. We also need cover for Ritchie Humphreys, another right back, someone on the right of midfield and at least one striker. I think the key again is going to be our defence and hopefully we can make a good start and build some momentum like last year.
