HARTLEPOOL – Saturday 7th August 2021 – our opening game of the season sees the RED DEVILS make the long trip up the east of the country our third longest trip of the season. Hartlepool returned to the EFL this season following a play-off win over Torquay. This is our 3rd visit to the Victoria Ground.
The arrangements for the Hartlepool game are as follows – WE ARE NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR THIS GAME – PLEASE CONTACT EITHER ALAIN or PATRICK TO BOOK YOUR PLACE.
If we are able to travel we have taken the decision that it will be a there and back trip. We depart from the PP Stadium at 6.00am and the cost is £30.00 – sorry about this but we need to cover the costs of this trip.
As it is a long journey, we will have a couple of stops going – probably at Watford Gap and Wetherby services just to break the journey to enable you to stretch your legs and get refreshments if you want. If we can organise a pub stop then we will and update the information about the day trip. The return journey we would probably do the same but at the driver’s discretion where they want to stop. The coach will have toilet facilities and UBS charging points at the seats.
33 already booked on the coach for the opening game of the season.
So that we can start taking the money for this trip I will be in REDZ for all the home friendlies coming up so please come and find me in there, I will be at one of the tables. Also at any of the away matches, except East Grinstead you can pay for your seat just come and find me.
Amended travel arrangements as we now have a buffet stop
If we are able to travel we have taken the decision that it will be a there and back trip. We depart from the PP Stadium at 6.00am and the cost is £30.00 – sorry about this but we need to cover the costs of this trip – hopefully it will be a one off, only for this game. The good news is that we have organised a buffet stop on route to the game – The Anchor Inn at Boroughbridge off the M1 just north of Wetherby Services. We will have a comfort stop at Watford Gap services just to break the journey and to enable you to stretch your legs plus get refreshments if you want. We aim to be at the pub for 11.30am and depart at 1.00pm to arrive at the ground for 2.00pm. The return journey we will have a stop but at the driver’s discretion where they want to change over. The coach will have toilet facilities and UBS charging points at the seats.
It is a long day and trip - Rough timings for the trip – depart at 6.00am (pillows not provided) – Watford Gap at 8.15am – depart at 8.45am – 11.30am arrive at the Anchor Inn (maybe slightly earlier if traffic allows), depart Anchor at 1.00pm arrive at the ground for 2.00pm. Depart straight after the game and we hope to be back in Crawley for about 11.30pm.
Contact either Alain or Patrick to book your seat - we still have seats available on the coach for this match

We are still getting supporters on for Hartlepool - we are now up to 41 so only have 12 seats remaining for the trip - we are still awaiting confirmation that we will be able to travel and that tickets will be sold either here at the club or pay on entry at the turnstile. I would expect that we will get some sort of announcement next week when restrictions are lifted - then its down to Hartlepool if we are able to accommodated in the stadium.
As of yesterday we still have not received confirmation that we are able to travel to our away game at Hartlepool - it’s now only a couple of weeks away. We have sent E mails but so far no response - they haven’t even contacted our club regarding supporters travel as I found out yesterday - Just as well we decided not to make it an overnight trip as we would have needed to pay for the rooms by now.
Should we get the confirmation that we can travel we still have seats available if you want to join us

Good news today about the game at Hartlepool - we are now able to travel to the game on the 7th August - match tickets for the game will be confirmed by the club in the next few days - I will be in Redz tonight for the West Ham game from 5.30 if you want to book or make payment -
It’s only a few days away from us travelling to our first away league game for some time - we have only a few seats remaining on our coach for this trip - we can confirm our buffet stop at the Anchor Inn arriving for about 11.30am - it you are travelling to the game then remember to get your match ticket by Friday as there is no sales on Saturday for away supporters -
If you want to book on the coach then please contact us as soon as possible - details above - probably before you buy your match tickets - wouldn’t like you to buy them and then find out that we have no seats available.
It’s great to be back travelling again supporting our team

Any Crawley supporters heading to Hartlepool on Saturday and looking for somewhere for a drink - you have been invited to go to the Hartlepool Rovers Quiots and Social Club - on Easington Road TS24 8JZ about 5 minute drive from the stadium on the A179 -
Thanks again to those who that travelled with us to Hartlepool yesterday - we had a bit of a hiccup to start with but it was sorted and thanks for being so patient - we managed to catch up most of the time lost and arrived at the pub virtually on time - the rest of the day went near enough to time arriving back in Crawley just before 11.30pm. In the end we had 43 on the coach which we are pleased to say that the cost were covered. The buffet was extremely good and plentiful for all and we were treated by the owner and staff of the Anchor Inn very well - we will stop there again if we are again playing in the North East.
