Following the update to supporters on the 4th April, the Interim Board would like to provide further information on the takeover as well as Club operations and the 2025/26 Season Ticket release.
The owner, Mr Singh has reiterated that he will honour his commitment to fund key Club operations including player and staff wages until the last game of this season.
Due processes are still ongoing with potential takeover parties including those who had offers accepted approximately 6 weeks ago. Mr Singh has stressed that he is committed to stepping away from HUFC and is not in any way holding up matters.
Given the short timescale to the end of the season, it is now highly unlikely that any takeover will be complete before the current owner deadline is reached. It is obviously crucial that the Club continues to operate beyond the season end and the Interim Board and Club staff will continue to work hard to manage day to day operations effectively.
With this in mind, we will be asking our fans for their support as we release the 2025/26 Season Tickets tomorrow, particularly with purchases of early bird offers. It is important to note that the revenue generated from Season Tickets (and all commercial income activities) will be ringfenced and only used within the Club to maintain operations beyond the end of season. The current owner has made formal commitment to endorse and uphold this point.
The ability to continue Club operations in a ‘business as usual’ manner across Season Ticket, Retail, Hospitality, and Sponsorships will be crucial in providing an extended timeline and a stable platform with aim of completing a takeover transaction.
Collectively, we are asking for everyone to come together “United as One” and to show potential investors and owners how valuable Hartlepool United is, to the fantastic fanbase, at the core of the community, and we ask that you join us on this journey if you are able to do so.
A full communication will follow in due course with Season Ticket options including a fixed no-increase pricing structure for standard season tickets and a further reduced early bird price option.
Further updates will be provided in due course.
