There is no doubt the season has been a challenging one for the Pools faithful as their side have struggled to find consistency and have fallen well short in their push for a National League play-off place. There were high hopes Nicky Featherstone’s side could cement their bid for a top seven spot as recently as the middle of last month when Pools secured three consecutive wins against Truro City, Morecambe and Eastleigh.

However, a 7-0 hammering at the hands of Wealdstone dented any thoughts of a return to the EFL and Featherstone’s men have drawn two and lost one of their fixtures since that fateful night in the capital and are have failed to find the net in their last four games.

Despite those struggles, Poolies have continued to get behind their side and there will be another impressive attendance at the Prestige Group Stadium on Saturday afternoon and Tuesday evening when Southend United visit before the final day visit to Boston United. That will see the travelling faithful ‘turn Boston pink’ with supporters encourage to wear pink in support of local charities, Breast Cancer and Alice House Hospice and Pools are set to release a limited edition range of pink themed tee-shirts, with profits going to the chosen charities.

With an intriguing final week of the season remaining, Pools fans will once again show their unwavering support for their beloved club - but how does the average home attendance at the Prestige Group Stadium compare to other National League clubs?
