Dave Jones hails Hartlepool United fans ahead of home double
Pools face Crewe Alexandra on Tuesday night in a fixture crucial to the club’s survival hopes.
And they follow that up on Saturday with a tough contest with League Two promotion favourites Exeter who, ironically they defeated at St James Park earlier in the season.

The club said that anyone buying a ticket for the home game with Crewe will gain free entry for the Grecians clash at the Northern Gas & Power Stadium.
Jones was delighted by the atmosphere inside the Vic for last Saturday’s home draw with Plymouth Argyle.
While Pools were pegged back by a stunning late Matty Kennedy equaliser, the fans gave the team a standing ovation at the end.

“It’s not all about tackles, if they see commitment, and desire and see the players care then I think the fans will always stay with you.
“They saw commitment, desire, a team that wanted to win, were having a right go. If the fans see that then they will always get behind the side.
“If they don’t see it then they are entitled to have a moan.”
The buy-one-get-one-free offer is available right up to kick off on Tuesday at the Clarence Road ticket office, but the club urge fans to buy early.
