Supported Pool since early 60’s and witnessed many “crunch“ games.
No living fan on here has seen us automatically promoted more than twice and one of them was confirmed when we were not playing!
We have had many relegation deciders which have seen either joy or tears. Blown promotion a couple times or so and sneaked into Play Offs. Never a dull moment and so it continues.
My first experience was against Northampton Town in 1966. It was their only ever season in top flight and needed to beat Pool and hope we also lost at relegated Blackburn. They brought a big following only for the team to be ripped apart and 3-0 down at halftime. Alan Ball was unplayable and little did we know that was his last home appearance with us as a top flight player. We also won at Blackburn and survived comfortably.
What games do you remember, the good the bad and the ugly!
We have many to choose.
