Sutton lead the division by three points with two games remaining and will be promoted to the Football League for the first time in their history against Pools at Gander Green Lane should they better Torquay’s result at home to Barnet this coming Saturday.
The title may have slipped out of Hartlepool’s reach in recent weeks but they still have a lot to play for going into the final couple of matches.
