Victoria Park

History The land for the ground was originally a large quarry with a collection of 'dilapidated allotments'.[1] The land was owned by the North-Eastern Railway Company but was purchased by the West Hartlepool Rugby Club in the 1880s.[1] The rugby club levelled the area to develop the ground. Work was completed in 1886, in time for Queen Victoria's Jubilee (link) with the ground being named in her honour.[1]

The rugby club folded on 28 April 1908. Soon after, it was announced that a professional association football club would be formed in the town named The Hartlepools United Football and Athletic Club Company Limited.[2] This club was founded on 1 June 1908.[2] This new professional club reached a ground sharing agreement with local amateur club West Hartlepool to share the Victoria Ground.[2] The amateur club would fold a few years later due to a lack of support.[2]

Hartlepools' first game at this new ground came against a Newcastle United reserve eleven on 2 September 1908 which included several first team players.[2] They marked their first game with an emphatic 6-0 victory.[2] The club's first home league match came later that month against Seaham White Star.[2] Approximately 3,000 supporters saw a 0-0 draw.[2] Hartlepools' first home league win came on 26 September with a 2-0 win over North Shields.[2] The amateur and professional sides met at the Victoria Ground after being drawn together in the FA Cup. The amateurs were drawn as the home side, but the professional side prevailed 2-1 in front of 7,000 supporters.[2]

  1. ^ Beginning with the 1925–26 season, the FA Cup was structured so that the third round proper contained 64 teams. Prior to that date, the structure had varied, so rounds are not directly comparable to the round of the same name after 1925.[7]
  2. ^ The Football League Cup competition started in the 1960–61 season.[9]
  3. ^ Includes goals scored in all nationally organised competitions, i.e. the Football League, including play-offs, FA Cup, National League and play-offs, League Cup, Football League Group Cup, EFL Trophy and predecessors, and Third Division North Cup, as well as goals scored in the North-Eastern League before Hartlepool's admission to the Football League. For seasons from 1908–09 to 2009–10, sourced to PoolStats and/or In The Mad Crowd;[12][13] for non-League seasons thereafter, sourced to In The Mad Crowd;[13] for Football League seasons thereafter, sourced to Soccerbase.[14]
  4. ^ From the 1921–22 Football League season onwards, divisions are sorted according to their level within the English football league system, and separately from the pre-Football League division.
  5. ^ The 1939–40 Football League season was abandoned with three matches played when the Second World War began.[3]
  6. ^ Although the Football League did not resume until the 1946–47 season, the FA Cup was contested in 1945–46. From the first round proper to the sixth round (quarter-final), results were determined on aggregate score over two legs.[7][3]
  7. ^ Club's best League finishing position before the regional sections of the Third Division were amalgamated into national Third and Fourth Divisions.[3]
  8. ^ Hartlepool were placed in the Football League Fourth Division when the regional sections of the Third Division were amalgamated into national Third and Fourth Divisions.[3]
  9. ^ Phythian was top scorer in the 1966–67 Fourth Division with 23 goals.[15]
  10. ^ Promoted to the Football League Third Division by virtue of finishing in third place. This was the first promotion in the club's history.[3]
  11. ^ The 1981–82 season saw the introduction of three points for a win instead of two.[9]
  12. ^ The Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation (RSSSF) erroneously lists Allon as joint top scorer in the 1990–91 Fourth Division with 35 goals, but only 28 of those were scored in the league.[15][16]

Academy Following relegation from the Football League in 2017, Hartlepool received less funding for their academy from the Football League.[31] The club therefore struggled to provide the financial means to maintain their academy.[31] Therefore, Hartlepool's academy of junior players between the ages of 9 to 16 was dispanded in 2019 in order to focus on players aged 16 to 18.[31] In 2022, the club made a successful application to the EFL to see a return of a Category 4 academy.[32]

Notable players to have graduated from Hartlepool's academy include: Adam Boyd, Luke James etc


The academy returned in 2022 following the successful category 4 application ahead of the 2022–23 season and are currently managed by __. In 202_, the club announced a partnership with Hartlepool College to develop young talent alongside a programme of education.

The opening match of Group C was contested between England and the United States. The two sides had previously played each other nine times with England winning on seven occasions and the United States on two.[33] The teams had previously played each other once in the FIFA World Cup in 1950.[33] The USA famously won 1–0 in one of the biggest World Cup shock results of all time.[34][35]

Rivalries

edit

Scotland

edit

The footballing rivalry has diminished somewhat since the late 1970s, particularly since the annual fixture stopped in 1989.

Argentina

edit

The rivalry is unusual in that it is an intercontinental one; typically such footballing rivalries exist between countries that are close to one another, for example France–Italy or Argentina–Brazil. England is regarded in Argentina as one of the major rivals of the national football team, matched only by Brazil and Uruguay. The rivalry is, to a lesser extent reciprocal in England, locally described as a grudge match although matches against Germany carry a greater significance in popular perception. The rivalry emerged across several games during the latter half of the 20th century, even though as of 2008 the teams have played each other on only 14 occasions in full internationals.

Tournaments

edit

FIFA World Cup

edit

-They are also placed sixth by number of wins, with 32. -In 1950, four teams remained after the first round, in 1958 eight teams remained and in 2014 sixteen teams remained.

UEFA European Championship

edit

-England first entered the UEFA European Championship in 1964, and have since qualified for ten finals tournaments, tied for fourth best by number of finals appearances.

-The team's worst results in the finals tournament, to date, have been first-round eliminations in 1980,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.englandfootballonline.com/CmpEC/CmpEC1980Finals.html |title=England in the European Championship - Italy 1980 1988, 1992 and 2000, whilst they failed to qualify for the finals in 1964, 1972, 1976, 1984 and 2008.
