and live on Freeview channel 276
Pools fell behind when Regan Hendry fired in a stunning goal for the League Two leaders early in the second half but fought back when Omar Bogle converted from close range to hand Lee’s side a share of the spoils.

It would have been unprecedented circumstances for Pools to fall back into trouble this season but, nevertheless, Lee admits it’s good to have that weight off the shoulders at last.
“It’s nice,” Lee told The Mail.
“Since coming in it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. We’ve been trying to do things but it was always going to be about making sure of our security in this league.
“We tightened things up, which we spoke about after five defeats in the league when coming in, and then it was about trying to progress as a team and we’ve done that.

“To get the points tally where we are now is fantastic and that’s why I keep saying about enjoying the end of the season, but we can only enjoy it if we show the fight we did today.”
