Auditors also note the club’s reliance on Raj Singh’s continued financial support in order to continue operating.

The club is also still paying back former owners, Sage Investments Ltd, to the tune of £110k per annum. This amount could change depending on on-field performance of the club.

Hartlepool fans will also be delighted to know that Singh charged the club £180k in “management fees” via his company, Prestige Care Group Holdings Ltd.

Takeover update…
It is now understood that the Heard Group has deposited further funds in relation to their proposed takeover of Hartlepool United. The only remaining impediment appears to lie with matters on Hartlepool United’s side.

Lymington Town football club were on a coach on the way to play FA cup match before getting to the bridge to go into Wales.
The players were asked to show passports and the goalie didn’t have one so was told to hide… 🫣
They got him big time here… 🤣

Around this time in 1981, I would have been playing school football, after that, I would get home for the last knockings of Swap Shop, fish & chips for lunch, then settle down for a great afternoon of sport.
