A MARK OF RESPECT

Today, everyone at FC Hartlepool will be observing a social media blackout as we pay our respects to PC Matt Blades on the day of his funeral.

Matt, a much-loved and highly respected coach at FC Hartlepool, gave so much of his time to the club and made a lasting impression on so many people within FC and across the wider Hartlepool community.

Our thoughts are with Matt’s family, friends, colleagues and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Our thoughts are also with the family and friends of PC Tom Clough, Matt’s colleague and partner, at this incredibly difficult time.

FC Hartlepool will remain silent across our social media channels today as a small mark of our respect.

Rest in peace, Coach Matt.🔴🔵

🔴🔵 A BIG DAY FOR FC

Today marks the first-ever Hartlepool derby in the Northern League as FC make the short trip to Seaton Carew.

Before kick-off, both clubs will come together to pay their respects to PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Clough.

Two clubs. One community. United in respect. ❤️

🔴🔵 DERBY DAY | FC MAKE THE SHORT TRIP TO SEATON

A historic afternoon for local football as FC Hartlepool and Seaton Carew meet for the first time in the Northern League.

Following the tragic events of the past week, today is about far more than football. Ahead of kick-off, both clubs will come together to remember PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Clough.

💬FC Manager Terry Hill summed up the feeling around the club:

“This week’s events have put football into perspective. It has affected people within our club in very different ways and, as a collective, it has been a tough week.

“Football takes second stage at times like this, but it can also bring people together. Today gives us an opportunity to remember, reflect and stand alongside like-minded people as one football community.”
