The majority of B sides lost last night. That's something at least.

That's bad news in my opinion.  I would like to see the competition dominated by B teams. A Wembley final played by two B teams in front of a tiny crowd would surely mean the end of this farce.

Prize money of 10k per win in the Group stages, we need a few of those to make up for the misspend on Idle

True, but again if they all get hammered it might make them think it's not worth it

I won't be there, going to Wollaton Park to see David Walliams "Ratburger" with the grandchildren. But COYP. 

Loach, Audel, Laing, Hollis, Dickinson (c), Rodman, Aborah, Burke, Richards, Campbell, Snijders

subs  Collin, Hewitt, Smith, Wildin, Edwards, Milsom, Atkinson

False number 9 then

wishing Pedro's son a good game... a full debut, hopefully the start of many

Minus the loss of x amount for opening the stadium for 1k fans.

Hope the 1k gate revenue covered those costs. Perhaps @erindoors can advise if the gate revenue is shared with Hartlepool ( what percentage?)

We should be allowed to pick where we play our games, seeing as West Ham can. 1 vote for Asda car park. 

just watched the game on Magpie player. Atkinson seemed to win the ball fairly...Pools #18 and #26 should have both received straight red cards
