bungle Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 Right, been meaning to do this thread for ages! As someone pointed out on another thread, on the afternoon of the Hartlepool away game (Tues 24th) Sedgefield races are on (1st race 12.50pm). Doesn't seem that easy to get to the course, the nearest train stations are Darlington and Durham, however I'm sure if a few people wanted to attend then a taxi from one of these stations to the racing wouldn't cost much at all. So, am throwing it out there to see who is planning to be up there for the whole day, and might be interested in going racing. Also, got to figure out how to get back to Newcastle after the match, as no trains!
saints_is_the_south Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 5 of us going up for this, 1 being the designated driver! Tis the day before my birthday so plenty of beer in store for the day. Probably leaving Southampton about 9 to get up there for about 2ish. One of the lads coming in our group grew up in Hartlepool so we should be ok for knowledge of the best pubs! Can't wait!
oldsarum Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 20 London Saints, some flying, but the majority going by train all staying in Hartlepool for the night. Some thinking of going to Wetherby races on the Weds afternoon.
Michelle Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 Hurrah! About bloomin' time! Definitely two here for the races, did you look into group booking stylee discounts?
Ash Posted 5 October, 2009 Posted 5 October, 2009 My stupid Mrs is making me spend the time doing something she wants to do on her birthday. This is going to be the only away game I miss all season. Stupid Mrs

This Charming Man Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 Tickets for this have just gone on sale, seeing as the demand is so huge for Orient tickets, I imagine these will be snapped up straight away by our new, massive away support... thought not. There is 4 of us also heading back to Newcaslte after the game, think it's only about £20 odd for a cab, so not to bad.
saints_is_the_south Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 4 of us going up, driving there & back same day - will get tickets some time next week i expect.

RonManager Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 Depending on work, I will try to make it and stay over in a hotel.

Didn't realise i had to ask you what i can & can't post before doing so, my apologies. What next, a lecture moaning about those of us who go to wetherspoon pubs?

saint_bert Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 We already know this because you posted it earlier in the thread? Why do you need to tell us again? He actually said there were five people before hand. Plus didnt mention anything about tickets. HTH
RedAndWhite91 Posted 27 October, 2009 Posted 27 October, 2009 Most probably going on the travelclub coach. I heard it leaves at 11am, and gets back at about 4am... Niiiiice!!
leithsaint Posted 2 November, 2009 Posted 2 November, 2009 Anyone know of any decent places to stay in hartlepool?
Michelle Posted 2 November, 2009 Posted 2 November, 2009 (edited) At least six of us I know of for races now... Only concessions available are Grandstand Enclosure, where we'd need a minimum of 15 people, gives us 20% discount, and has to be booked 7 days in advance. Works out at £12 a pop, full price would be £15. Alternatively, concourse tickets are just £7, no discounts available. Edited 2 November, 2009 by Michelle
bungle Posted 11 November, 2009 Author Posted 11 November, 2009 Someone posted this on the main board, and I have checked it out. For those going back to Newcastle after the game, you can get the train to Sunderland at 2229, and then get the Metro back into the city centre. Much cheaper than a taxi.

Cheers for that, had missed that option. Still looks like that won't get you back to Newcastle until 23.30ish, might pay a bit more for a cab and get back an hour earlier.

tonibell Posted 11 November, 2009 Posted 11 November, 2009 Anyone know of any decent places to stay in hartlepool? Premier inn. From £29.00 we booked about 2 weeks ago. Then drive too Grimsby on the Wednesday to see friend
spd Posted 17 November, 2009 Posted 17 November, 2009 Must be mental just booked my ticket and bingo bus for this one and see that the second coach is not far from being full!
saints_is_the_south Posted 20 November, 2009 Posted 20 November, 2009 Just over 500 sold for this as of 2pm today, excellent turn out considering the distance & it being on a Tuesday night.

Sour Mash Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 So can anyone recommend any decent drinking establishments in Hartlepool?
Dan Posted 23 November, 2009 Posted 23 November, 2009 500 sold already, bloody hell! None of are group have got are tickets yet so add a few more on to the numbers.
