Hartlepool United staff sleep at club amid crime spree (BBC News)

Pools fans are warned security costs could have a knock-on effect both on and off the pitch.

"The majority of money goes into playing budget, these sort of things have a damaging effect and will affect us in the transfer market," he told BBC Radio Tees. "It's soul destroying to walk into a stadium in the morning to find you have been burgled." The Victoria Park stadium has been targeted 12 times in 16 days causing "considerable damage", as well as the club shop being burgled.

Hartlepool United 2 Rotherham United 2: Millers reach Wembley ... (Yorkshire Post)

The last thing Rotherham United wanted as they battle on two fronts through the hard yards of the season was a full-blooded scrap.

Or perhaps it was as Robert Madley gave him the benefit of the doubt, and a yellow card. A caution was probably right for the fit-again Rarmani Edmonds-Green given how far out Omar Bogle was when the striker was cynically hauled down chasing the loose ball from a Ben Wiles tackle. Rotherham started the game like the League One side, but in this era where players get rotated rather than dropped, cup ties often come down to who wants it more and for much of the first half that was the hosts. Warne had to wheel out far more of his big guns than he would have wanted to and lost one, Jamie Lindsay, to the shoulder injury he brought into the game. Never having been to Wembley before and with their ground packed for a competition no one takes much notice of until the famous arch comes into view, Hartlepool United made Rotherham fight for everything they got in a bruising encounter. This time they fell short but only by the smallest of margins.

Match report: Pools bow out on penalties (Hartlepool United)

HARTLEPOOL United's Wembley dream is over. Pools were beaten 5-4 on penalties by Rotherham in a dramatic Papa John's Trophy semi-final after a pulsating tie ...

The Millers came on strong and Killip made a great save from Ogbene with Pools clearing before Smith could put in the rebound and then the goalie produced another stunning stop low to his left to keep out Ihiekwe. There was a third booking at the end of the half for the Millers when Jordi Tuta chopped down Grey. The Millers were rattled and there was more anger from the home faithful when Rarmani Edmonds-Green brought down Omar Bogle after Tom Crawford threaded him through. The home support was up in arms six minutes later when Wood brought down Molyneux but escaped with a gentle word from Mr Madley. There was fury from the home fans when Grey went down after a coming together with Richard Wood who, after a lengthy thought by the referee, was booked by Bobby Madley. The Millers were the first out of the blocks and had two early sights of the home goal.

Hartlepool United lost 5-4 on penalties to Rotherham United after a 2-2 draw in the semi finals of the Papa John's Trophy.

“I thought when it got to 4-3 and we scored the penalty, I didn’t look because I thought we were through. “The lads have took responsibility and stepped up to take the penalties so fair play to them. Our performances in the league have been good but we can’t dwell on it. They just keep going and they are effective and that’s why they are top of the league but we dealt with them.
