St Christopher Ensure Me a Safe and Happy Journey

Whatever happens today. (Perm any 2 from 4 Shrewsbury, R&D, Scunny and ourselves) Hartlepool United will have had a successful season. Admittedly after the rebuilding of the summer the team took a while to gel but once it did.... WOW.

7-1 v Swansea. 5-1 v Rushden. 4-1 v Torquay. 5-1 v Southend. Historically Hartlepool teams do not get these results. Well possibly once every 2 years. Are we not the perennial strugglers, the joke team of the bottom div? That was then, this is now.

Welcome to the brave new world of Chris Turner, Colin West and IOR. The outcome of todays games cannot alter the fact that we are on the right road.

By the way, whilst reading my bible last night, I was amazed at the following extract in the book of St Christopher (verse 3 chapter 1)

And lo, I said unto Abraham, thine most holy play-off positions are given to them whoest go unto Exeter for thouest final game. Let not the philistines of Shropshire tempt thee with false Prophesies.

Do you think this is a sign?
