Hartlepool United's commercial and operations director Rose Stoker has been reflecting on the club's "unbelievable" experience at Fanatics Fest.

In an unprecedented step for the club, Pools have been showcasing themselves on the big stage at the world-renowned convention in New York City's Javits Centre.

Inspired by new owner Landon Smith's lifelong passion for sports collectibles and trading cards, Pools have secured a prime spot at the festival, sandwiched in-between Italian giants Inter Milan and Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain.
