A MUSEUM in Hartlepool is joining in the football fever ahead of Pool's play-off final in Cardiff this weekend.

Hartlepool Museum has organised an exhibition called Poolie Pride to coincide with the match.

It will feature first-team trophies won this season, displays showing a day in the life of players and manager as well as photos of the team in action.

Also on display will be an award won by the youth team at a competition in the US.

The exhibition at the museum, which is open every day from 10am until 5pm, runs from this Saturday, to Sunday, June 19.

Mayor of Hartlepool Stuart Drummond, who has visited the exhibition, said: "Pools have done us proud this year and this exhibition is a great tribute to those achievements and captures the town's pride in the club. 'Poolie Pride' is a must-see for anyone who's proud to call themselves a Pools fan."
