Good Morning Everyone

I took in another trip to Oakwell on Saturday.
Its not often that I see us win there but as we know by now we came away with the 1-0 victory thanks to our main man JR.
I'll get myself washed this week (you never know after a trip t'yorkshire) and get myself prepped for my next away day.
See you all.on my travels again soon.

Hello Everyone
Well ground number 64 for me last Saturday.
I thought we were going to come away with a win, but that horrible Voldermorts team snatched it away from us towards the end.
I had a good day, saw a couple of posters from here there

Will see you next at that filthy hovel up the Fylde coast very soon.

Good Evening Everyone
Well ahead of a trip to Horwich on Saturday I recently visited another undesirable ground in that fishy place.
Awful first half but it felt like points dropped.
On the plus side, Dembele

.
On to Saturday, COYP

and hopefully see a few of you there.

Bob The Hat · Dec 31, 2023

Well another year almost over.
I'd like to wish everyone a Very Happy New Year and I'm hoping to see that the Pool start 2024 off better than we ended 2023.
As I was going to put pics up of my trip to Port Vale the other night, when I realised that I hadn't posted up pics from my trip to Horwich the other month, both games ended in Pool defeats...
Onwards + Upwards

Good Afternoon Everyone

Well ground no 65 for me on Saturday. I can honestly say that I've only just dried out.
A great goal by Dembele - aha- and that was about as good as it got.
I saw a few of the usual faces, I might try and cadge a lift to Reading if there is something possible for us on that last day of the season, if not thats snother season over and I'll see some of you when tbe friendlies start, unless we scrape in to the play offs...

Hello Everyone

Well another season is finally here.
Our hopes and dreams are raised once again....
Fingers (if I had any) crossed that our away form improves.
I'm not going today, which isn't a bad thing as I went to x2 friendlies - Kirkham and then Tranmere and we lost them both 3-1.
Hopefully my absence will bode us well.
Looking forward to seeing you on the road again this year.
Grateful to little Max who held me high on the Wirrall.

Regards
BTH

Good Afternoon Everyone
Hope everyone has had an enjoyable weekend away from tbe footy.
Well after 2 shocking away trips in the pre season friendlies I took in the trip to Ewood Park the week before last.
Now give been there about half a dozen times and never had a sniff of a victory and at half time I wasn't expecting what eventually happened - we won at Ewood.
A 'thank you' to Max for holding me high and proudly in the away end.
In the words of Frankie Vialli - "oh what a night".
I was looking forward to a trip to Huddersfield but with that being off I'll hopefully see some of you on my travels soon.

Good Morning Everyone
Well ground number 66 for me last Tues.
A rather drab first half, but I stirred my loins late on as a JR, then Finnigan tooķ us to pens and then the win, progressing us to the knockout stages.
I'm off to the Tough sheet stadium on Saturday, hopefully I'll see some of you there.

Bob The Hat · Nov 29, 2024

Evening Everyone

Well.another trip to the Burden / Normid coop/ Reebok / Toughsheet ground resulting in yet another defeat.
No matter how many I go there it always appears to be the same end result.
Hey ho, on to another ground soon.

Good Afternoon Everybody

Well I took in a new ground on Saturday, ground no 68.
Ironically - called the Hatters

, sadly not the result any of us wanted to see.
I'm off to Barnsley yet again on Saturday, hopefully see a few of you there on our travels.
BTH.

Bob The Hat · Mar 3, 2025

What a silly old hat I am.
Just realised that I never put up my trip to ground no 67 - Wrexham.
I made the trip on Boxing Day and saw yet another defeat on the road. Yet another late goal and never a penalty....

Bob The Hat · Mar 10, 2025

Evening Everyone

Well yet another trip to Oakwell and another win.
Could and should have been 7.

Why can't we do this at home?
Perhaps I should start going at home too

Oh well, not sure when my next away day is think the seasons been a missed opportunity.

Good Evening Everyone

Well another season is almost here and I expect we are all hoping that its going to be a successful one.
Some new faces through the door, but I guess I'll see the same old faces on my travels.
I took in a couple of early away days. The perennial trip to Dog Food Daves' stadium and a second visit to me to the class of 92s Salfud.
Im hoping to get on the road in tbe not too distant future, and see some of you along the way.

Good Morning Everyone

Well not the start to the season that we wanted.
I took the opportunity the other night to visit a new ground by hitching a ride to Mansfield.

What a disappointment, in not only the result but the performance too.
Ironically today at Plymuff is where it all started for me all those years ago, Im not going down there again, I'll listen from the comfort of my coat hook.
Hopefully things will improve, that includes my mood, and I'll see some of you on my travels this season

Ground 69 for me, something I seem to feel everytime I get put on a different head.
As you can see from.my very first photo 15yrs ago, I've not aged too badly..

Surely you live on a hat hook Bob rather than a coat hook?

Bob The Hat · Dec 22, 2025

Hello Everybody

Tis the season to be jolly, well not overall but there's signs of improvement.
I took.in the short hop to Wiggun on Saturday. Boy was it cold, but a 2 0 win warmed my heart up.
My seventh visit to the DW.
Pics below.
I am getting absent minded as I get older. I went to horrible Stockport earlier this season, but forgot to ask for my pics to be put up.
They are easily identifiable, the sun was out at Stockport

Merry Christmas everyone, see you on my travels again soon.
