I'm leaving in the morning with a car load of camping gear for an overnighter near Thirsk.

if any members of the blue army travelling up to Hartlepool are looking for a cheap Breakfast and a stretch of your legs there are two morrisons just off the A1 one at Newark and one at Wetherby both are about 1 1/2 miles [ 5 mins ] from the A1 just follow the town centre signs both are on the outskirts so easy access . and much more cheaper than services , safe journey everyone COYB

I think they were told to banish the nickname ‘monkey hangers’ a good few years ago.

Wasn’t it something to do with the towns people suspecting the monkey of being a spy for the pirates?

Napoleon. The locals thought the monkey was French.

Or so the legend has it.

Hopefully see you at Hartlepool for a beer and a chat.

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Perfect! Was thinking about where to stop. Cheers.

The second one you come to (past Newark) is the better of the two northbound OK Diners in my experience. If you enjoy their food then there's one just off the Southbound carriageway as well, a few miles south of Grantham.

The French navy had a monkey as a mascot & dressed him up in a sailor suit. When bubbles the chimp started screeching & squawking the locals having never met a Frenchman before & unfamiliar with the French language took it for a spy & hung it! Easy mistake to make.
We’ve embraced the whole “monkey hanger” moniker, back in the day we used to sing “we hung the monkey we”ll hang you” to visiting fans. Back in the 70’s we played Bobby Robson’s Ipswich in the FA cup & some Pools fans had a monkey (not a real one) hanging from the rafters in our end, might still be there for all I know. Here endeth the lesson.

Good Old H'Angus

 

[seves]

Bloody typical, the Darlo massive (2) get 3 close matches up here and the Hartlepool one is whilst we're away on August hols, grrrr

 

[Guybrush13]

Any idea what we're up to now?

 

[Knights In White Satin]

Was going to have a count up, but seems that their website isn't working atm

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Anything over last season (320?), would be excellent support

 

[Sammy Shrimper]

Anyone managed to buy a ticket this morning? Website seems to be still down.
Was there Cash on the gate last year ?

 

[Knights In White Satin]

From what I read before the site went down, you can buy on the day but have to buy from their ticket office

 

[They Call It Madness!!!]

Bit of useless information, a previous custodian of H'angus was called Stuart Drummond I believe.

He was a good bloke of whom I was lucky enough to meet a few times at various events.

He decided to run for mayor and promised free bananas for all children and he won!

Can you imagine Sammy the Shrimp being elected as Southends mayor!

I used cash to buy a ticket on the day last year.

The ticket office is close to the away fans end.

A friend of mine paid cash on the day last year, had no problem at all.
