Huge movement on the Brian Clough statue in Albert Park today (Tuesday at 3.30pm) as the tribute was dismantled by council workmen and taken away.
A massive well done to @GeoffreyBoycott for his huge role - we’ll all be watching this space closely @Boro @NFFC #Boro

This was one of many monumental mistakes made by @Official_HUFC in recent years. I’m sure our new owner values the roll the media has to play in strengthening fan communications. Keep up the good work @RobLawTees with your @BBCTeesSport colleagues

We hope you've enjoyed our Hartlepool United coverage as much as we've enjoyed bringing you it 📻
Your support has been massively appreciated throughout what has been a very challenging season 💙🤍
Bring on 2026/27 💪

What a refreshing read after years of frustration, stagnation and fans being starved of information. I love his measured approach and the fact that he wants to listen to and engage fans. I’m very hopeful that the good times will return and Landon couldn’t have made a better start

You’d be a great appointment Graeme. One of the key things for the new owner is to have people running the Club that know the town

Would be good to know why I’ve never been approached about becoming an ambassador of @Official_HUFC maybe I wasn’t good enough 🤷🏼♂️#Pooly

Park Drive was Dad’s second home and he was a huge supporter of the cricket teams and football team over the years. In particular, he would always push the case for local, junior cricketers to be given a chance as he felt they were the future of the club.

A very measured interview from our new owner. All sounds positive for the future and a breath of fresh air. I love the line about listening to fans and having dialogue with fans’ groups. This was a massive mistake of the previous regime and cost the club badly. Welcome Landon.

Well put @RobLawTees Just one of the many poor decisions by the previous regime which was self defeating and alienated fans. Delighted that Landon acted swiftly to invite you back.

I was asked to write something for @BBCSport online about the 8 month media ban & our return this week.
Again, thank you for all the amazing messages. The support has been very humbling.

Would love to see @Gav_Holohan34 back @Official_HUFC to help us return to the Football League. If you can bring your mate @OatesRhys with you I’ll get my boots back out to complete the strike force
Jan 20
This would be a cracking bit of business, surprised there’s a few against it.
Feel like Hartlepool have lacked a box-to-box midfielder and given his past roots at the club - this makes perfect sense.
Hope this gets done.

Great strike from Matty Daly. He should have started after his performance on Saturday along with Folarin. Featherstone must learn from the game tonight and get more attack minded players on the pitch.

Congratulations Robbie and well deserved. You’ve continued to do a great job in recent months with no support from the Club but hopefully that is now a thing of the past.
