Hartlepool Owner Seeks National League Ban on Jeff Stelling

News summary

Jeff Stelling, a lifelong Hartlepool United supporter and former honorary president, has become embroiled in a bitter dispute with the club's owner Raj Singh after resigning in protest over Singh's handling of takeover talks. In response, Singh wrote to other National League clubs requesting they deny Stelling access to official Hartlepool United dignitary spaces in their boardrooms during away fixtures and to seat him separately if he attends independently. Stelling, now a talkSPORT presenter, responded with humor, suggesting he might disguise himself as a Blues Brother to attend matches and reaffirming his continued support for the team. The controversy attracted wider attention, prompting Hartlepool MP Jonathan Brash to write to National League clubs urging them to treat Stelling with respect and courtesy, emphasizing his status as a Freeman of Hartlepool and his dedication to the club. Despite the tensions, Stelling plans to attend many away games, maintaining his connection with Hartlepool fans and wishing the team well for the season. The dispute highlights ongoing challenges within the club following its relegation and efforts to secure new ownership.
