Hartlepool United make 500 more season tickets available as original batch sells out in less than two weeks with National League start drawing closer
Last month, Pools announced that 1,000 season tickets would be made available to order on a first come first serve basis.
And less than two weeks later, all 1,000 have been snapped up. Poolies who haven't been able to get hold of one already shouldn’t worry though as the club are allocating a further 500 season tickets immediately.

Reduced capacities are likely in order for clubs to adhere to social distancing guidelines. Victoria Park’s capacity of 7,865 is significantly above Hartlepool’s average home attendance of 3,355 during the 2019-20 campaign.
But clubs are likely to be restricted to a new maximum capacity of around a quarter of the stadium capacity, meaning no more than 2,000 fans will initially be permitted to attend matches at the Vic.
And with 1,000 season tickets already ordered, the fresh batch of 500 to be made available will again be on a first-come, first-serve basis.
