I may have just punted all my remaining Westjet Dollars on flights back next weekend. What's a 12 hour round trip for a once in a [lifetime/few years] opportunity?
They can rebuild just the same in the next division down. There will be a whole clutch of NE sides in there, depending on what happens with Stan and the ground grading of those at the top of the NL.
Major issue at Blyth is that sponsorships and season ticket money- proceeds which are usually spent over a season- were pissed away / redirected by the former owner from the outset.
That said, the club has gone out with scratch sides plenty of time over the last 20 years and has not suffered a similar miserable run. Next season will be their lowest pyramid position since the 1994-95 season.
Christ. Player has rotten half, gets hooked, must mean he's finished at the club. We're about to head into an intensive period of fixtures, we'll need the whole squad.
