Pre-Match Thread Hartlepool United v Southend United, Saturday 17th August, 15:00 k.o., NL

Making my first trip back up to Hartlepool since 2005 after this Flahavan inspired 2-1 win

I got Che Wilsons shirt that night. One of 115 travelling Shrimpers. Remember journey home was through snow storms and got home to the A127 with only one lane straight down the middle open due to thick snow

I just checked for you and you should be ok for your trip to see the monkey hangers as no snow is forecast for the next few days

I'm hoping that the game will be available via iptv the same as last year. Fingers crossed as I'm working from home Saturday.

As for the team

It was on there last week, much improved angles and general stream

Didn't need radio commentary last week cos 'I was there'. However, I'm not travelling to Hartlepool. So can I confirm, as someone currently residing in the United Kingdom and a fully paid up TV License holder, that BBC Essex are broadcasting a commentary of the match and I will be able to listen to it on my Wireless?

And do I glean from this thread that the main commentator will be Vic as in Victoria Polly?

But is there?

Can someone please answer my question (#65) and confirm BBC Essex will be doing live match commentary this season!

Blues are 11/10 favourites today. The value bets might be ;
HT Draw. FT Southend. 9/2
HT Southend. FT.Draw. 12/1

Sadly can't do the game as I'm sitting on @Cricko's yacht in International waters taking the rays. Pleasingly, the internet signal here is strong, and £9.99 worth of UK dosh on a UK credit card with a UK address (protected by a reputable International VPN) means all is well for this afternoon. Bring it on.

I live about 8 miles from Hartlepool. Weather's nice up here this morning. Blue skies and sunny, if you like that sort of thing.

Where do you live Sooty?

Jeez, don't you Northern geezers know anything? Sooty, Sweep, Soo and Richard live at the caravan site known as Holiday Resort Unity.

Sorry for my ignorance, is that Crimdon you’re referring to?
