Victoria Park (Hartlepool)
The Rink End is also an all-seater stand containing 1,033 seats, some with an obscured view of the pitch due to supporting pillars.A small, wooden stand was built as a temporary measure with the intent to replace it with a larger, more permanent structure once funds allowed.He had built side that won promotion from the Fourth Division in the 1990–91 season, but had to hand over managerial duties to coach Alan Murray in February 1991 due to brain cancer.Knowles retired in June 1991 after his declining health meant that he was no longer well enough to manage the club and died two months later at the age of 47.[5] However, Hartlepool Borough Council rejected this proposal claiming that accepting the offer would be premature in light of recent development in the area around Victoria Park.Darlington manager Dave Hodgson was struck with a coin and Marco Gabbiadini was reportedly punched by a fan after the match.[8] In 1957, the ground attracted its record attendance of 17,264 for a 3rd Round FA Cup Game against a Manchester United team managed by Matt Busby, which Hartlepool narrowly lost 4–3.Their fourth-round tie against West Ham United was televised live on ITV and attracted over 500 million viewers worldwide, Hartlepool losing 2–0 in front of a crowd of 6,849.It was the female England team's first game in the North East since a 1–1 draw with Italy at Roker Park, Sunderland in November 1995.[22] Several of the English players came from the North East,[23] including Jordan Nobbs whose father Keith had played 327 times for Hartlepool United.Paul Whitehouse, who plays Ron Manager, sits in the Rink End stand as he talks about a typical Saturday afternoon in football.Victoria Park has also been used for employability training to help improve the town's unemployment figures and has an after-school programme which teaches children literacy and numeracy skills.
