Sorry if this is already somewhere in another thread but I thought I'd give everybody an update on the situation at Pools. Essentially, the new owners, who took over because they were owed lots of money by the previous bunch of chancers who had been bleeding the club dry, are pulling out and the club need to raise £200,000 by January 25th or we'll be going into administration.
There has been a great response from around the region, particularly Middlesbrough, and it looks like our home match on the 20th could be turned into a Save Pools Day by pay on the door visitors from other clubs. The only drawback to this is that the owners still won't open the books for the last three years despite repeated promises to the Trust and Supporters Direct. It is a real worry that any money handed over at the turnstiles will end up disappearing into the owner's pockets so, although people turning up on the 20th would be a great morale booster, I'd suggest sending donations to HUST if you want to help out in the longer term.
