The Pools Pod

31/03/2026

The first time we've lost by seven or more since an 8-0 loss at Crewe in the Auto Windscreens Shield in October 1995.
The first time we've lost by seven in the league since a 7-0 loss at Rotherham in April 1994.

Unacceptable. Disgraceful. A laughing stock.

FT.

🚨New episode!🚨

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.

A huge thanks to Micky for his time!
