I think you mean a dead rubber.
For those who were at Hartlepool in the season we won the JPT, I wonder whether Lawrence the local transvestite will making an appearance once again. Quite a character.
967 seats - not enough.
I seem to remember, back in the old Belle View days, that we give the entire side of the stand over to (I think it was) the Middlesbrough fans. Hartlepool may be tempted to do something similar if there is the desire from away supporters.

Quite a character. Little off topic, but talking about characters. Appeared on my Facebook 6 years ago today.Wolves away in the FA Cup, 4th Round Replay lost 5-0. Anyone remember that bloke who appeared in the away end with a sleeping bag sniffing poppers? Very odd behaviour.
Just a thoughtWould it get too messy administratively if there were Season Tickets that a) carried the "perk" of priority away Tickets as of now AND B) Season Tickets that "give up the right" to priority Away Tickets for a slightly lesser price ?There are many STH's I am sure that maybe never go away from Home or like me*** have cut the away trips down to a minimum and by having a choice as above the STH could opt for the B) option and thus free up more Tickets for the Fans who like me between 1968 and 1975 hardly miss a game away or at home. This would help those who CANT lay out huge amounts for a Season Ticket get easier access to away tickets and help get the Tickets themselves on general sale quicker !If this sytem was brought in I personally would waive my rights to the Away Ticket priority and then "risk" not getting a Ticket for a really BIG away game in the future as it seems fairer to let the mega fanatics who go away almost every game to get the opportunity to get a Ticket rather than me ****** It would not and does not mean I am less of a Fan - I just cant be bothered to trek hours as I used to do - and indeed if I could be teleported "in an instant" to Plymouth Newport or wherever I would not miss a game home or away !
How about an "away membership" scheme for ST holders, pay a little extra - say £10 for the season - to get first dibs on away tickets?That could appear that the club would be taking extra cash off the keenest supporters, but that's not really what I mean, it is more a case of supply and demand?
I wonder if we will see a pitch invasion this year. We are always accommodating for visiting supporters who want to invade our pitch

Are you suggesting, as someone else on here already has, that the ST holders are not the keenest DRFC supporters and therefore shouldn't have priority on away tickets? Its a ludicrous argument, in my opinion, that those non-ST holding DRFC supporters are keener on away games than ST holders. If that's the case how do they demonstrate their commitment to DRFC, by not buying a ST? The club used to operate an 'away fans' membership at a cost of about £10 which gave some priority, the take up for that was exceptionally poor and whilst 95% of all away games allocations can safely accommodate those DRFC who do want to travel then it doesn't have a place at the moment. Again the argument that ST holders don't attend away games in numbers but will snap up the tickets at Hartlepool is another generalisation that doesn't hold water. There will be significant demand for that game no doubt, but to suggest that ST holders shouldn't have priority is a nonsense. If a ST is meant to have value then this is one element that should, and will always, remain.
