I just want it over now. Just end this nightmare.

It's reached the point now where I don't even care if Hartlepool win, it'll only prolong the pissed off feeling for another week.

Apparently we've won 24 games since then.

 

[localhero]

Game over.

 

[shoddycollins]

If Exeter score you've still got a chance. According to Sky Sport's reporter at Victoria Park, Hartlepool look comfortable though.

Download LTrack and then also download the files for that season and you can relive the first half of it to your heart's content.

 

[shoddycollins]

Hartlepool have won

 

[shoddycollins]

Tranmere are down

 

[shoddycollins]

Full time at Whaddon Road, Cheltenham are down,

and with a game to spare is there time for Gary Johnston to find another club and make it a hat-trick of relegations in a single season.

Hartlepool fans, how does it feel?

 

[1884 Belmont]

Absolutely gutted, but may I congratulate Ronnie and Hartlepool. One hell of an achievement and you should be proud of yourselves for turning it around.

 

[shoddycollins]

Ian Goodison's testimonial is going be an interesting atmosphere.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Commiserations to Cheltenham and Tranmere. Feel for Tranmere - huge club to be down there. It's a rough old League to get back out of. Massive props to Hartlepool for that escape especially as it looked you might have peaked to early then picked it up again.

 

[hellogregory]

Commiserations Tranmere and Cheltenham.

Congratulations Hartlepool. It's going to make our game next weekend a bit of a non event.

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

Relief !!! People say Pools have no luck, well we have had it many times over.... I feel desperately sorry for the other 2, we have been truly awful , thank you very much Ronnie, it is you and you alone that have saved us, I hope you stay on and finish of the job starting with a clear out. ..Once again commiserations to Cheltenham and Tranmere fans, proper clubs with proper fans, hopefully for you this is the dark before your dawn.... trust me I'm feeling massive relief, this has been an awful season, not one to celebrate that's for sure , but one that won't be forgotton

 

[WAP]

Even though it wasn't us I do have alot of sympathy for the fans of both clubs, it was almost us a year ago and then a few weeks later watching Bristol Rovers go down wasn't nice either.

 

[localhero]

Ian Goodison's testimonial is going be an interesting atmosphere.

At the moment I have no motivation to go back to Prenton Park or even watch another game of football. Week off next Saturday, a few plans start coming into place for next season and I'll be over it. Attending Bury's promotion party, regardless how much people want to hurl abuse at our own players, won't do anyone any favours. Need to put it behind us for Goodison's sake, he deserves better!

 

[shoddycollins]

It's one of the toughest things in football, the realisation that you're a non-league club (for one season at least). Those who get relegated from the Premiership with their parachute payments don't know how good they have it (with all due respect to Pompey, but they've suffered from more than simply dropping to the Championship).

 

[AdamStag]

Tranmere and cheltenham deserve to go down and deserve it.

Their fans have no idea the hell and the shit that awaits them, they've no idea.

Still, Wrexham, tranmere and Chester will provide a nice little trio of derbies for the 3 of them.

Be quite odd having Ronnie Moore there too.

Managing the Tranmere XI!!

I think we're probably aware of that. What is it with Mansfield fans on here being complete dickheads?

 

[Master D]

Tranmere and cheltenham deserve to go down and deserve it.

You can say that again.

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

Adam Stag , you really should know better ! One thing is certain, if Mansfield attempt to play next season as they did this, you will be setting up camp in this thread

 

[Amber Nectar]

Commiserations to Rovers and Cheltenham. For your own sakes I hope you're not down there too long. Congrats go to Hartlepool, with their great escape.

 

[Vanni]

Adam mate, I don't think it's the time for that right now.

 

[Vanni]

Congrats to Pools who looked dead and buried a couple of months back, and have proved a lot of people wrong (myself for a start) But that's the beauty of football.

Yeah, the Hartlepool fans weren't with us for the first couple of months of this thread, it might make quite enjoyable reading for them now. Page after page of Carlisle, Mansfield and Tranmere fans debating which one of them is going down with Hartlepool.

 

[Vanni]

Yep. It seems like we had all taken it for granted they were down, and were only debating who was the poorest side out of the others.
