They can.
D2 - Semi-Final, 2nd leg
Tranmere Rovers 2-0 Hartlepool Utd (aet)
- Hartlepool United win 6-5 on penalties!
Sheffield Wednesday and Hartlepool United will play for a place in D1 on the 29th of May. Hartlepool have never been out of the bottom 2 divisions of English Football since they joined in 1921. Can this year (84 years later) be the one where they finally make it!?
