Lighthouse Posted 9 November, 2010 Share Posted 9 November, 2010 Think this was a midweek fixture last year, so I'm guessing a few of you will have stayed there overnight. I've been looking at the Premier Inn for a weekender, which seems to be affordable and pretty much accross the road from the ground. Anyone any experience of it?

dickyhale Posted 9 November, 2010 Share Posted 9 November, 2010 Hi we done it last year on a Tuesday night staying at Stockton on Tees/Hartlepool premier Inn nice hotel with a Toby carery pub next door. We booked in advance and got it quite cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonManager Posted 9 November, 2010 Share Posted 9 November, 2010 I stayed at the York House Hotel, 185 York Rd. It was fine and about c20 mins from the ground. I seem to remember Michelle stayed at the Premier and so did the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 18 November, 2010 Share Posted 18 November, 2010 Cheers mate. Is it just me being thick or is the OS hopeless for 'ticket news' now? it is hopeless, you really have to search for the detail sometimes and unless you are looking for it it can be easily missed. i can't see us having over 900 at Hartlepool this year, it will be freezing in December and a lot went last year. If you are doing a weekender I would recommend Newcastle rather than Hartlepool. I'm doing the same as Steve up and back on the train, as I am on EastCoast trains mailing list got an extra discount due to a deal they were doing, £30 return London to Hartlepool, good price that. We drank at the Lloyds Bar by Hartlepool station, not amazing but fine for a couple of pre-match pints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Art Posted 18 November, 2010 Share Posted 18 November, 2010 How difficult is it to get from Newcastle to Hartlepool? I assume it's just a short train journey but haven't really looked into it. Trains go every hour at half past the hour & it appears to take just under 45 mins. I booked train tickets for myself & a couple of mates online & it worked out at £7.50 each return.

Staying in the Albatross hostel, have managed to do it fairly cheap so far £47 each for the hostel, £70 for the flight and looks like 7.50 return on the train to get to and from Hartlepool.

Could do without a re-arranged game this time though! For those staying overnight for this one you could take in another game on the sunday, Sunderland are at home to West Ham.

boxosponge Posted 25 November, 2010 Share Posted 25 November, 2010 (edited) Was planning to go because I have family in Sunderland and could have met up with them all and go to the match with my young cousins' new boyfriend and his father: a golf professional at a club near Durham and both lifelong saints fans. But the wife turned down my generous offer of me taking her to see her sister in Derby for the weekend and they could go christmas shopping. A train trip from Derby to Hartlepool isn't too much, but a round trip from Wiltshire is just too expensive. Bloody typical ungrateful wimmin!!
