Martin Scott will return to Hartlepool for the first team since his terrible stint as manager. On a football matter Hartlepool will be looking to make it 13 games unbeaten

Heres a litlle riddle for you. He was our worst manager in the clubs history, he is hated by the whole town and he left the club after getting beat up by his own players.

Got it yet, thats right its Martin Scott and tomorow he will be returning to the Vic for the first time since he left the club.

Hartlepools unbeaten run was extended last week after Pools drew 1-1 with Wrexham. Hartlepool will now be looking at the clubs unbeaten record of 22 games which was set in 2001.

At the beginning of the season Bury were firm favourites for relegation and after a poor start they looked like they could be on their was down but they have turned things around and are currently 16th in the league.

Hartlepool beat Bury 1-0 last month after Tony Sweeney scored just 6 seconds into the second half. Last time Bury travelled to the Vic they were armed with one Micky Nelson who single handedly kept Pools at bay in a 0-0 draw

Michael Nelson is returning to the side after serving a one match ban and he is expected to partner Ben Clarke at centre back with Liddle returning to centre midfield. Willie Boland is struggling to get back from injury but E Williams is expected to shake off a calf injury to partner Barker up front
