Pools skipper Luke Waterfall features in our first matchday programme of the season, with the defender outlining his ambitions for the new season.

There are also columns from Chairman Raj Singh and Pools boss Darren Sarll, who discuss a busy summer period and look towards the 2024/25 campaign.

And a bulk of content such as a Southend preview, Academy round-up and Pools Women report are also included.

The digital version of the programme is priced at £3 and can be purchased now from Pools Retail by clicking here.

Limited copies of the physical programme will be available ahead of kick-off from the following outlets:

• Club Shop
• 1908 Bar
• Centenary Bar
• Acland Homes Stand bar
• South East kiosk of the Brunel Group Stand

Please note all payment methods are card-only, other than the Club Shop where cash is also accepted. Supporters are advised to arrive as early as possible due to the limited amount available.

Any remaining physical programmes will be sold on our retailing website after the fixture.
