Their former teammate Cassidy caused controversy today after branding HUFC a 'negative club' and slammed Pools supporters for creating a 'poisonous' atmosphere.

The 25-year-old striker rejoined Maidstone United on loan earlier this week, after spending three months at The Gallagher Stadium earlier in the campaign.

"I don't think they're good to many people, to be fair," said Cassidy.

"If it's not going well it's a bit poisonous. That's the stigma around the club. It's just a negative club."
