Born in Hartlepool, Durham and constantly pressured to support Newcastle, Sunderland and even Middlesbrough. Went to see Hartlepool play a few times, but never really developed a passion for them.
A few years back, my mate from Leeds had come up to Hartlepool to see me as the Whites were playing Hartlepool at Victoria Park. He invited me along and I had an utterly unforgettable experience with some amazing people. Instantly loved it, and Leeds United became a passion. I've been to Elland Road over 20 times now with my mate and I'm planning to get a season ticket if work shifts allow for it next year.

Welcome to the forum mate, enjoy

Re: A White from Hartlepool
Hello and welcomeRemember driving up to Hartlepool for a cup match in the late 70's or early 80's (long time ago), well almost got half way before we found out the match was postponed. Few days later back up there for a cracking 6-2 victory to the mighty whites, well worth the wait.
Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

Re: A White from Hartlepool
Cheers for the warm welcome fellas!
Great to have a forum to share my passion with like-minded folk.
You don't get many people around here who have sympathy or understanding for me when I'm wearing the mighty white on a weekend...

Welcome!
I'm not too far away from you, currently living in Newcastle. From what I've seen and from who I've met, Leeds are definitely the second most supported team up here amongst students.
