Nearly two decades since the last time the two sides met in the FA Cup, Saturday 11th October at 3pm pits the Holy Blues, Gainsborough Trinity, against The Pools, Hartlepool United. It's the third time the two sides have met in the competition, with both sides having won one game apiece, who will lead the way after this tie?

The Fourth Qualifying Round clash at the Kal Group Stadium will be a segregated fixture, with Hartlepool United supporters given an initial allocation of 800 tickets. Though not all ticket, it is strongly advised that tickets are purchased through the online ticketing portal for this game.

Tickets for home supporters are available through a separate link on the portal. Any supporters found to be in the wrong end will be ejected, and will not be entitled to a refund.

Early purchase of tickets enables us to plan provision efficiently. How many programmes to print, how many pies to bake. The number of stewards required.

We look forward to welcoming Enterprise National League side, Hartlepool United to the Northolme a week on Saturday. We're sure both Russ Wilcox and Simon Grayson will have their sides up for what will be a memorable cup tie, with a place in the Emirates FA Cup First Round Proper up for grabs.

Buy your tickets, buy one for your mate. Spread the word and share the date. Let's turn the town Blue! Holy Blue!
