In the 2006/2007 season Hartlepool were in second place on the last day of the season but were on the same points as first and we were favourites to win the league. We lost the last game at home and Walsall managed to equalise with pretty much the last kick of their game meaning they won the league by a point. Me and my dad were able to see them deconstructing the podium they were going to use to give the team the league trophy.

There must be something really sad about those bikes built up with all the expectation and then never used.
The yellow TJV bike that was built up for Paris last year must have been cold and lonely.
It's like when you see football teams roll out the "Champions" banners and realise there must have been a lot of them sheepishly put back onto buses after a disappointing loss.
