Jeremy Spencer, who was a founding member of Fleetwood Mac, is from Hartlepool. Due to differences with others in the band, he was told "you can go your own way". I'm here all week and available for weddings, parties and Bar Mitzvahs. Joeybag’s former club shop sells a Fleetwood Mac

A few Wikipedia snippets.
Hart-le-pool ("The Pool of the Stags") becomes very apt whenever Mansfield visits.
Cameron's Brewery is based in the town and produces Kronenberg, Fosters and John Smiths. Much to the expected dissatisfaction of the CAMRA followers on this board. Note you struggle to find Fosters in Australia.
Monkey Hangers is a nickname derived upon a legend that during the Napoleonic wars a monkey, which had been a ship's mascot, was taken for a French spy and hanged.
Apparently, Hartlepool is also known as the Burnham-on-Sea of the North. I made the last one up.

If you’re going to create a DNA for the club of developing and selling on young players, then you decide to scrap it, you may as well scrap it properly and some With the increasing amount of players being vacuumed up by clubs higher up the pyramid then maybe there will come a time when L1/L2 clubs should charge prem clubs to give the young players game time. Maybe, lower league clubs need also to mirror the coaching techniques and environment of prem clubs if there is to be a reciprocal loan relationship. We may be getting closer to a system when younger players long-term contracts become 'part owned' between prem clubs and lower league clubs. This seems a more sensible compromise then asking lower league clubs to $1m+ to fund academies for young footballers who will get poached by the big boys if they meet a certain standard.

Glenn has played in over 730 games and earned his 90th cap against Switzerland in October 2019 making him the ninth most capped Irish player of all time. On 4 September 2021, Whelan joined recently relegated League Two club Bristol Rovers on a one-year deal, linking up with former Fleetwood manager Joey Barton having trained with the club for part of pre-season. Glenn has spent most of his career at Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke City and a short spell with Aston Villa. He must come in second in a list of players with most international caps and to have played for Rovers. Vitalijs Astafjevs still claims top spot with an almost impassable 167 international caps.

It certainly appears to be the case that when Wael found out the end was nigh for the Supporters Club and who can blame him. It's his club now as he told us so he doesn't have to be concerned about it happening again. I just think that by retaliating in kind, doesn’t show him as the nice guy everyone thinks he is I would have done the same if I was Wael.

It’s all sticks and stones. Words are like paper swords, it’s the prejudice, intent and unfairness in life that’s more of an issue. Often words are the emissions of a deeper powerful prejudice and that’s where action needs to be proportionate. Oh I see. So in fact you are saying I didn’t actually say anything wrong. Which begs the question why you answered my original post. what are your views on the term Fake Sheik -is it merely a gentle p1ss take (how I view it) or is it racist. Do you know what was written on Twitter? Sorry TG, catching up. Your original post just labelled everyone on gaschat as Left wing anarchists. Is it fair to use left wing (which is broad) as an insult? I guess it depends on the dogma and objective. I don't see much racism down here...in fact many terms that would be deemed racist in the UK have been kind of adopted into mainstream affection. Some are even used as a term of endearment. I just think racism is illogical and stupid to the extant that it will become a form of social embarrassment to even commit a racial slur on paper. They will soon be put in the same box as the flat earther brigade. I don't follow all that Twitter stuff but trying to abuse someone with a lazy stereotype is stupid from the individual and a reflection from his/her wider culture.

I fell asleep on 60 minutes. But from my I-Player view we didn't control the game and they had the better of the opportunities.
Kilgour needs a few games under his belt but he was spraying passes to the left wing with aplomb, just a shame he was spraying passes to his next man with as much accuracy as a cat in season. He'll get better.
Our forwards didn't do much in the first half - maybe it was a supply issue.
It's funny how Barton pleads fans to give his squad time to bed in...so after 4 games he decides to throw the new guy straight into the first 11 after barely 48-hours at the club. I bet Luke Thomas was peed off.

Crawley have some players with great Football Manager names:
Blondy Rudolph Nna Noukeu (Cameroon) Kwesi Appiah (Ghana) Ludwig Georges Francillette (Guadeloupe) Emmanuel William Oluwarotimi Adebowale (Nigeria)
Some great names. Our squad is just Jones, Clarke, Collins and Evans

Happy Birthday Joe Barton!🍾🍺 39 today On 29 May 2014, Barton appeared on the BBC's Question Time discussion programme where, referring to the UK Independence Party (UKIP), he said "If I'm somewhere and there was four really ugly girls, I'm thinking she's not the worst – that's all UKIP are". Barton's comments were criticised as sexist by an audience member, prompting him to apologise on air. In an article written in The Independent in February 2015, Barton stated that: "If I were Prime Minister I would privatise religion. All public money would be withdrawn from religion. Taxpayers' money will cease to sponsor religion in any and every form." He said that the Church of England should be disestablished. In April of that year, he was appointed an honorary associate of the National Secular Society. Yet me secular asked for divine intervention over preseason.

Crawley is a suburb of Perth, WA and like Crawley, West Sussex, it is also one of the most boring places on Earth. More boring that even Bowood House - a remnant of a time when the elite gifted presents to one another. A bit like the award of Covid contracts to the chums of politicians in office. How times have changed!!

Your initial post. Labels tend to excite audience, particularly on a forum I merely described some Gas Chat forum members exactly as they are. No judgement made and I haven’t seen any noticeable excitement as a result. Your view on Fake Sheik? What was said on Twitter? Thank you. It’s all sticks and stones. Words are like paper swords, it’s the prejudice, intent and unfairness in life that’s more of an issue. Often words are the emissions of a deeper powerful prejudice and that’s where action needs to be proportionate.

Roysters Crisps T-Bone steak flavour are one of the best pub snacks ever behind scampi fries. Not convinced that this qualifies as a fact. More sort of.. a personal opinion. If I shout it loud enough it becomes a fact, I think that's how it works nowadays. Roysters are almost a sacred crisp.

Nice of you to self define yourself as the judge of left, right and middle. This forum has equal balance of opinions. Please explain how I have defined myself as the judge of left, right and middle. I merely asked why Fake Sheik could be considered racist. And said I couldn’t comment on the latest allegation as I don’t do Twitter. Thank you. Your initial post. Labels tend to excite audience, particularly on a forum

Where do you get it all from? Personal experience old boy. I see the Right-Ons on Gas Chat have decreed that Fake Sheik is racist. I’d like that one explained. I don’t do Twitter so can’t comment on that. Perhaps someone could post what was said? Nice of you to self define yourself as the judge of left, right and middle. This forum has equal balance of opinions.

Crawley's name is derived from the Anglo Saxon crawe leah meaning a 'crow infested clearing'. Crawley’s FC’s nickname is the mundane ‘Red Devils’ however ‘The Crows’ are the nickname of Royston Town. Roysters Crisps T-Bone steak flavour are one of the best pub snacks ever behind scampi fries.

Form is temporary Does one win in plenty, against a depowered Cheltenham, count as 'form'? I’m sure all 24 league 2 clubs would have beaten the team Cheltenham fielded tonight
