The Pools Pod

A warm welcome back to BBC Radio Tees' Rob Law, who joins me for the season preview! We touch on a variety of subjects, including Pools' signings, fixtures, and chances of promotion. There's also a look at other teams in the mix for the top seven, and Rob gets to talk about his favourite player again with Cameron John's return!

Danny and I look over the fixtures for the upcoming season, and chat about the standout games. Plus, a word on the new home kit and memories of kits gone by, before a recap of the club's transfer business this summer.

I'm joined by Robbie Stelling to take a look at the last two months at the Vic - from the end of the season, to the positive steps taken since that game at Boston. Robbie also chats about his new venture, the Monkey's Uncle, and how it came about.

I'm joined by Danny to reflect on the last six weeks of the season. There's a few awards handed out, and some talk on teams moving in and out of the National League. We also look ahead to the future, with transfers, managers, and season ticket announcements on the agenda. Plus much more!This episode was recorded across Wednesday and Thursday night, to incorporate the season ticket announcement on Thursday morning.

Danny and Isaac join me this week for a look at the home defeats to Sutton and Halifax, and the news that Scunthorpe have beaten us to the signing of Pat Jones. We also run through the squad and give our opinion on whether they should remain at the Vic next season.

A Valentine's special, as I am joined by legendary former Pools skipper Micky Barron to talk about his time at the club - from the time he nearly signed for Darlington (before signing for Pools!), to playing as a sweeper at centre-back, being knocked out at Bristol City and everything about THAT day at Cardiff in 2005.Micky also speaks about moving into coaching and why management isn't for him, and we chat about the current squad's recent results - including the latest defeat at York.Huge thanks to the man himself for his time!
