Four days out from our first match, this is what appears when you google Hartlepool United… the national press picking up Mr. Singh’s odd letter trying to influence who other clubs invite as a guest. It’s another massive own goal so soon after the short-lived BBC ban.

🎟️ "I'd already bought my ticket for Yeovil on Saturday!" 🤷‍♂️ "I don't get the issue, or why Mr Singh wanted to raise it!" Jeff Stelling responds to Hartlepool chair Raj Singh writing to National League clubs asking them to ban him from their boardrooms! 👀

Give it your all lads! UTP 💙🤍

Pools ranked 106 of 116 in English football for fan engagement in the latest independent rankings by Think Fan Engagement. fanengagement.net/fan-engagement… Hardly surprising, sadly indicative of how #hufc operates these days. Nothing changes until the ownership does.

Can’t wait to get into this one. Treat yourself or someone else 📚💙

And a great read it is too!

Brief but interesting mention again for Pools, on the Price of Football podcast. It’s once again a shame that we make a well-regarded, popular podcast for reasons other than football. The Jeff Stelling issue plus letters to local media are surely only a distraction right now?

🔵 Paul Addison & Rob Law have been discussing their first impressions of Simon Grayson's Hartlepool United 🗣️ bbc.in/4lvNCEx #Pools | #HUFC | #BBCFootball

Love it! 😍 Well done team. 💙🤍

Just heard on BBC Tees that there will be no commentary today, as the club have banned Rob Law. What an absolutely petty, ridiculous and embarrassing decision by those in charge. Yet another own goal. 🤯 Got to say, well done to the BBC for standing their ground on this.

Neither BBC Sport Tees or Hartlepool United - MailHUFC can agree to such terms and be dictated too about which reporter they send, especially when both reporters who have been named cover 99% of Pools games home and away. Its our own fans who suffer the most from this .

Well done lads. 👍💙🤍

Come on Pools! UTP. 💙🤍

Rock solid at the back, two cracking finishes. Job done! 337 Poolies! 🙌 UTP 💙🤍

There’s just something about the TOTW our boys love 🥰 Congrats, Jamiemiley!

Grayson comes across really well in interviews and when it comes to him and the team, it goes without saying we all want success for the town’s club. 💙🤍

Not going to lie, still thinking about this. 🔥
