robm Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Wonderful win for the real shields! Arca had penalty saved (diving bastard) and the northerners popped in an 84th minute winner courtesy of Kevin Hughes. Soaked, frozen but happy! Was there a good crowd crumpy? 2651 in attendance. (2600 squeezed under the main stand out the rain) About 400 North Shields. Cracking crowd. Wish it had been when we were away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Blyth won 2-0 at Barwell today (Matty Pattinson scored both) Joint top of the NPL, along with Whitby Town. With regards to the Northern League, it's a pity the pyramid can't be restructured as at present, it's very biased towards teams from the London and Manchester areas. The Northern League has been left out on a limb for too long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 North Shields absolutely robbed it! But thought it was a good and fun game to watch... Despite the weather. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowndsy Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Spennymoor did their town proud today at mk dons. The occasion got the better of the players for the first 20 minutes resulting in them going 3-0 down. But after that initial spell it was hard to tell which team were the league one professionals. Spenny played very well second half and are unlucky not to be playing a replay this week. http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37885305 The highlights Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Got fucking drenched at the Shields game. Ventured into the clubhouse for a beer and of course there was an immediate power cut so ended up sitting under the emergency lights. Nice curry afterwards like.

As cold as I can ever remember being at a match. Went for a pint but no chance. Couldn't even get a cuppa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Though fairly neutral on the Shields derby I'm glad North Shields won just because they're more of a real club than South Shields, who are the latest club in the league to have a sugar daddy trying to buy them success. That approach has never been sustainable in the long term and as teams go up the leagues and then start losing games the nouveau fans disappear just as quickly as they arrived.

MKSC Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Blyth won 2-0 at Barwell today (Matty Pattinson scored both) Joint top of the NPL, along with Whitby Town. With regards to the Northern League, it's a pity the pyramid can't be restructured as at present, it's very biased towards teams from the London and Manchester areas. The Northern League has been left out on a limb for too long. They have tried to improve the structure but the problem is the leagues at step 7. Having three leagues doesn't work. There should be 2 or 4 but none of them are prepared to accept change as they all believe they are the best and don't want to dilute the pool of clubs. Also, if you look at the pyramid as a map, there are way more step 7, 8 and 9 clubs in the south east than anywhere else. It's so skewed that the conference north has had teams from Essex playing in it. It's a huge expense to move up from local leagues to even regional. Most clubs wouldn't survive so they don't apply for promotion, players also don't always want to move through. Unless they seriously think they can make it they might as well stay at a lower level. It's basically a system that has been fucked for a long time and isn't likely to ever get fixed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically a system that has been fucked for a long time and isn't likely to ever get fixed. Yup - I understand that it's basically biased towards London and the SE, which leaves the Northern League getting the shite end of the stick. It's worth remembering that the likes of Blue Star (went bust) the old North Shields club (went bust), as did the likes of Spenny and Bishop Auckland. Whitley Bay also sailed very close to the wind, in going out of business. It's also must have been years since a Northern League club had a good FA Cup run, I know Ashington made the 4th qualifying round a few years ago, and of course Bedlington Terriers made the 2nd round (beating Colchester 4-1 at home in Round 1) on the way, back in the 1990's.
