Links

Alas, I must confess that there are indeed other websites out there. Thank you for visiting In The Mad Crowd. I hope your visit was useful to you, and that you will return to the site some time soon. In the meantime, here are some other websites that you might enjoy.

Pools Links

Hartlepool United Official Site

Your first port of call for all breaking news, the official Hartlepool United website also includes the PoolsWorld service, which provides up to date video interviews and match action.

POOLstats

Fantastic stats site from Croydon Poolie.
The other essential resource for Hartlepool United fans

Frank's Pics

Loads of great Pools photos from Hartlepool's number one photographer, Frank Reid.

Monkey Business

The website of the long-running fanzine for Hartlepool United supporters. Here you will find information on the next issue, as well as online copies of several back issues. Good stuff, like.

The Bunker

The best and busiest of the HUFC messageboards. Contains a reasonable level of discussion based loosely (sometimes very loosely) around Pools.

Warning: rarfery wil not be tolerated.

Into The Blue

Another popular Pools messageboard, which also features match reports, previews and articles.

Hartlepool Vital Football

Independent news and views. Part of the VitalFootball network. Very regularly updated.

Other Sites That I Like

Swindon-Town-FC.co.uk

One of the pioneers. Richard's superb site has been around a fair bit longer than In The Mad Crowd, but the idea is the same: to provide the visitor with as much historical data as possible about his club. In Richard's case that club is Swindon Town. That's not his fault.

UpThePosh

A much newer site, but another cut from the same cloth, Chris Wilkinson's excellent UpThePosh is dedicated to the history of Peterborough United.

Downhill Second Half

"A strange look at what it is to be a Barnet fan, with minimal emphasis on the actual football".  This site was launched in 2009 with the ambitious aim of combining detailed statistical information with a series of entertaining articles. The early signs are very promising indeed. Definitely a site to keep an eye on.

Cod Almighty

The definitive example of how to write an light-hearted article-based football website. This outstanding site has been around since 2002 and has maintained a consistent high standard ever since. Tony Butcher's match reports are particularly good.

HTFC World

...and speaking of match reports, treat yourself to a wander around this seriously wonderful Huddersfield Town site, home of the most original and off-the-wall reporting around. Sadly, no report on any Pools match, but don't let that put you off.

Since 1888...

The Searchable Premiership and Football League Player Database. A stunning and exhaustive piece of work, and an invaluable resource for football stattos everywhere.
