Jeff Stelling was in attendance but Hartlepool could not provide their former president with a win after a 0-0 draw at Yeovil.
Stelling sat in the stands with 198 other hardy away fans after a fall-out with club chairman Raj Singh, who had bizarrely asked for the TV and radio presenter to be banned from away boardrooms.
The closest his beloved club came to scoring was a header from Alex Reid which flew wide.
Pools' new goalkeeper Harvey Cartwright helped preserve a point with a fine save to deny Finn Cousin-Dawson.
