Bananaman, according to the football ground guide, it's also £18 at Walsall, so does this mean we won't have the pleasure of your company on Saturday?

Walsall is £2 cheaper if you pay in advance. The deal's not quite so good if you book by phone as there's a 50p charge for credit cards but it might be worth trying. Have a look at http://www.saddlers.premiumtv.co.uk/...,10428,00.html. Possibly Accy have some tickets on sale.

Cheers for the info, Mike. I'll have a chat to the other lads I'm going with and decide what to do.

The Walsall ground and facilities are very good - well worth the price I think.

Did you lads go to Stockport, from memory it's £19. Swindon also come into that category.

Hi Guys,

Hartlepool fan here, Im sorry you feel that way about our ticket prices but we kept the same prices we had from League 1. You will find in league 1 this is the norm for ticket prices as you may one day find out. If we didnt perform like we did and were stuck in this league a lot longer then the prices would have dropped.

I seriously hope you reconsider and have a pleasant journey here, lots of places to visit near the ground esspecially our Marina and Historic quay. Hopefully see the Accrington Faithful here

I'm thinking of having a full day jaunt to this match.

Hpoollad - you mention things to see/do in Hartlepool. Do you recommend anything in particular (except for those mentioned)? I'd like to see more than the footy for such a journey.

Well Historic Quay is like an old reinactment of maritime life in Hartlepool, Well worth a look. we have one of the oldest battleships there too called the HMS trimcomolee (bad spelling). Lots of things to see and do in there too. They have recreations of the old shops movies to watch and a guided tour of our "fighting ships" which tells a story.

Other things to do really depends on what you enjoy, there is a retail park just behind the ground and our town centre is about a 5 minute walk. best advice is just turn up and have a look around

EDIT: We also have the Hartlepool museum situated behind the Historic Quay also worth a look if that is your sort of thing. You can interact with many things there and can make an interesting area. Cant really think of much more off the top of my head! safe journey

I seem to recall that there were no "fighting ships" around in WW1 when the German Navy blew away half your town; mind you, the Hartlepool crews were probably running up and down the beaches looking for any German monkeys washed ashore.

ooo below the belt lol, Check it out if you come and see what you think

Tin Monkey · 03-04-2007, 15:10

Thanks Hpoollad. I'll definitely have a good look round. Sounds interesting.

Isn't the best part of Hartlepool just outside of it... Seaton Carew ?
