Hartlepool United have 15 days to find £200,000 ahead of January 25 when they must pay a number of bills which, if defaulted, could lead to administrator’s coming in.
This revelation by the Hartlepool Mail comes just weeks after the club’s owner Jack Blackledge, of Sage Investments, put Pools up for sale having taken over only six months before.
In little over two week’s time, Hartlepool’s players and staff are due to be paid along with other bills.
Blackledge is believed to have put £1.8m of his own money into Pools since acquiring the National League club from JPNG and Gary Coxall.
Unless Blackledge is prepared to cover the costs or supporters can rally to reach the total, the club’s future could be in serious doubt.
Hartlepool fan Rachel Cartwright has set up a crowdfunding campaign while club mascot H’Angus has tweeted for a Save Pools Day at their next home game on Saturday, January 20 with fans urged to use the hashtag #savepoolsday.
