There appears to be an increasing risk of Hartlepool going into Administration if HUFC Holdings is unable to attract new investment or a buyer in the near future. Groundhog Day? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42621879 |

A nice 30 point deduction for them hopefully.
We are staying up, we are staying up!

It does seem from what is there to read that there is a distinct possibility of administration.

Even them. Its a path I wouldn't wish on our very worst enemies.
Always enjoyed away games at Hartlepool, apart from the open away terrace when the North Sea side was not there. Freezing.

They've been badly run for a number of years now, it bit like Hereford, so don't feel that sorry for them. They'll be able to regroup in Conference North and try living within their means. When I first started following Chester in 1960 Hartlepool were the team that finished bottom of Division 4 more than most, but were always re-elected. They have a decent ground and a good fan base. If we can continue our 2018 form we can avoid relegation on merit.

Put the administration to one side, Hartlepool are in free-fall form wise. If we can keep the three teams below us we stand a good chance of catching them.

True, not wanting them to die just to save Chester from relegation. Quite happy for them to be one of the relegated teams rather than Chester. I will take survival by any means possible. Wouldn't want them to go bust as it would give the Zombies from Wrexham a chance to sing that pathetic chant that they sing at us should they meet Hartlepool in the future. |

Considering our history, I wouldn't wish Ill on any set of fans, when there club is facing financial difficulty, even if it could possibly save ourselves from relegation (al hereford).

It would be very sad to see Hartlepool enter administration. They are a big club with a nice ground who deserves to be in the football league. Although it’s sad for them, I would be extremely happy if we do get saved from relegation. However, we should be escaping relegation on merit and not by luck. Hopefully we will given our recent performances.

Hopefully we will given our recent performances. I never felt comfortable with our 2014 reprieve and would much prefer us to avoid relegation by what we do on the pitch rather than what others do, or fail to do, off it. I always thought Hartlepool were very lucky to be re-elected so many times, in all 11 re-elections to Division 4 and 3 successful applications for re-election to Division 3 North. They deserve a spell in the National League, but I would not wish our place in the NL only to be secured by a points deduction applied to a rival, even if it is Hartlepool United. |

I don't get why people say we were "lucky" to get a reprieve. Others didn't play by the rules to our disadvantage. |

Of course we'd like to stay up by our own means, but if we don't and a points deduction for Hartlepool saves us, then we'd all take that with open arms. That includes the virtue signallers among us.

If that happens I wonder if anyone has been saved by other teams going bump more often than us recently? |

Edit. It was Alty. Finished in the bottom four 4 times but were only relegated once. Saved thanks to the winding up of other clubs

"Always enjoyed away games at Hartlepool" You do realise you are the only person in living memory who has ever uttered that sentence? Don't get me wrong, I don't want them to go under, but a trip to Hartlepool was never about enjoyment, it was more some sort of masochistic endurance test. |

Only a 10 point deduction for going into administration, although this can be reduced, or even done away with altogether, on appeal.

Let them go bust, if they can't play by the rules, hopefully we can take advantage of it.

Their parachute payment alone is way in excess of our entire playing budget ... they must be pissing money so far up the wall that it's splattering off the ceiling...

A few posters getting ahead of themselves. There is no guarantee that we will finish 4th bottom, Solihull and Guiseley are already splashing the cash, still got six pointers to come against most of the bottom half clubs. Instead of being smug lets concentrate on our own shortcomings as what will be will be

Not the most intelligent action to call someone a thief online. Just ask “The Sun” when they made statements about Liverpool fans. Data Protection Request will be made for your details and I’ll probably take legal action. Not a veiled threat either believe me. |
