@StellingRobbie I am clueless with predictions - but my geography is okay. Even the FA wouldn’t dare put Walton and Hersham in National League North!
Yeovil might just be the surprise team this season.

[Peter Rowbotham @R8WBO]

@adamdav_1998 Very strange - I thought it was Council land yet the type of sign suggests it’s private. Note it’s a fee for parking OR entering. How do you get to the Corner Flag via car if you can’t enter? Someone needs to challenge this before the season starts.

@TheMonkeysUnc The legal issues are between Halifax and Harris? Presumably his agent had told Hartlepool that he was out of contract and they had therefore done nothing wrong. If Halifax are chasing cash they should go for breach of contract complete with evidence. Let’s see what they do!

@Rogerwaters1942 @TheMonkeysUnc That’s one way to say that you haven’t read the article.

[Peter Rowbotham @R8WBO]

@StellingRobbie Signed up and very impressed with the content. A different level in my view. Good value for money as well!

[Robbie Stelling @StellingRobbie]

Still on the lookout for new work opportunities. Any help would be hugely appreciated, thank you!

[Robbie Stelling @StellingRobbie]

Having left the Hartlepool Mail last month, I'm on the lookout for new opportunities. I have more than four years experience working in sports journalism and was crowned The Deck's National League journalist of the year in 2025.

@daveflemm @ThePoolsPod or Luke Armstrong

[Peter Rowbotham @R8WBO]

@StellingRobbie Head of Media at Pools sounds like it’s made for you (if the money is okay!) Can’t think of anyone better for the most important job in the club.

[Peter Rowbotham @R8WBO]

@RobLawTees On the assumption that the club has a plan and is making its decisions I find it incredible with the complete lack of comms from the club on these matters. This is leading to endless and unhelpful speculation. One factual club press statement will suffice.

[Peter Rowbotham @R8WBO]

@SportsPeteO I wonder if the sudden availability of Pete Wild might further confuse matters. A different day produces different speculation.

[Peter Rowbotham @R8WBO]

@RobLawTees Not a big enough ‘step change’ improvement in my view. Probably see a more physical and direct approach with a burly number 9 up front. Faster pace than a Featherstone team. I’m not sure if the Club have many appointment options to pursue but needs to be right this time.

[Peter Rowbotham @R8WBO]

@adampinder0711 @Official_HUFC You can guess it - unless of course you can read white letters on a white background. Doesn’t meet web standards.

[Peter Rowbotham @R8WBO]

The Ticketco web site selling @Official_HUFC season tickets needs revisiting. It’s awful - you literally cannot read the text. No thought given to the header at all.

I would love it if you could support me by registering early interest ahead of the launch of The Monkey’s Uncle next month. Exciting times ahead, can’t wait to get going!

@MichaelDriver24 Right now, the club needs a clear playing style, smart recruitment and someone who can build over 2–3 seasons. It’s between Darryl Clarke and Rob Elliot. Clarke might be the safer bet but Elliot might be more exciting to have in post.

[Peter Rowbotham @R8WBO]

@StellingRobbie Good luck Robbie - you can be proud of the work you have done covering Pools. I’m sure that it’s all good experience for your future career.

[Peter Rowbotham @R8WBO]

@DanielHack47477 @RobLawTees I would get him on board in a role - knows his stuff and spots good players.

[Peter Rowbotham @R8WBO]

@micklittlefair @RobLawTees @Mickyb22 All of our most successful and respected managers have had no previous connection with club - Clough, Knowles, Wilson , Cooper and Challinor.

[Peter Rowbotham @R8WBO]

@RobLawTees The recent positive results weren’t really deserved - we hadn’t played well, the club has talked itself up and our league position was false. Tonight was reality - let’s get the change agenda moving. Over to you Mr Smith. You have our support.
