'We're back!' – Hartlepool United fans react to opening day joy against Crawley Town
Hartlepool United marked their League Two return with a solid 1-0 win over Crawley Town on Saturday afternoon – here’s what the fans thought...
Gavan Holohan’s 89th-minute winnerseparated the sides at Victoria Park as supporters returned in full force for the opening day of the campaign.
It was the second season running the Irish midfielder had scored a late winner in the first match of the league season.
Here’s how some Poolies reacted to the result on social media…
