Hartlepool United Next Cup Opponents

Last night's 1-0 victory over Leeds United at Elland Road sets up a second round tie with Hartlepool United...
Pools will visit Edgar Street a week Saturday with Danny Wilson, who watched the FA Cup replay at Elland Road last night, telling his club's official website "When the lads saw the draw, irrespective of who we were going to play, we knew it was possibly one of the hardest ties of the round."
With Hartlepool losing 3-1 at Edgar Street last season in League 2 Wilson said "Now we know that it's Hereford I think the lads will be very much up for it because they didn't do themselves justice last time we went there.
"We'll have to be on top of our game and play much better than we did last time if we want to progress from the tie."
The Bulls have already notched an FA Cup win over Hartlepool United, with Rob Elmes handing The Bulls a 1-0 win back in the 1999/2000 season.

This will be another BIG test for The Bulls, but the way they played last night they showed they are capable of beating ANYBODY.

Agreed, The Bulls are capable of beating mostly anybody, but Hartlepool aren't that BIG! The thing I want to see BIG is this Saturday's gate against Accy Stanley, and I know I keep on about it but for crying out loud, what does it take to achieve a gate of over 3000 Bulls fans for goodness sake? I would say we've not had it so good for at least 15 years or so. GT/JT must be wondering what on earth they have to do to get the floating population back into the Street. Come on you lot, if the cap fits ..... and all that. Utd 3 Accy Stanley 1.

We are having a great season and that is down to GT/JT and the team. We know we can gain promotion this season and the FA Cup is a bonus. Let us not forget that promotion is THE aim. But wouldn't it be great to get a BIG club when we dispose of Pool?
A true bull
