AS has become the end of season standard, Hartlepool United's supporters have captured the imagination.

For today's last game of the campaign at Plymouth, they have dressed up en masse as Stormtroopers - and social media has been awash with photos and videos.

In recent years, they have been dressed as smurfs, oompah loompahs, where's wally, penguins and morris dancers. 

Today they have been trending on Twitter, and made national news once again, earning plenty of praise with it.

Around 500 have made the 382-mile trip to the West Country.
