I'm sure there was one spell where Oldham did really well in the cups too. 90s maybe. Think I can remember a semi final v Man U. Might have reached a league cup final too? 

 

The years of Joe Royle, Andy Ritchie, etc.

Can't remember if it was extra time or fergie time but mark Hughes scoring in the semi final rings a bell

Gateshead game called off after a horror injury to one of the oppo players.

Apparently he collapsed with no one near him. CPR was carried out and he was sitting up before being taken to hospital. Hope he's OK.

South shields with another typically bipolar season winning 7-0 last night, currently won 4/5 smashing goals all over the shop. Not sure what suddenly changed. Mind play Curzon away next who are top but next 7/8 matches with teams below them.

Just seen the above injury, hopefully all is well

Davey Carson has just signed for them as well - great signing for them!

Looking grim for Blyth Spartan, lost 3-1 away at Hebburn in front of 660. 11 points off safety and unless there's significant changes somewhere, pretty much nailed on for a second successive. relegation

Heaton continuing to struggle in tier 8, but a great win for Ashington.  With 4 going down this season, it will probably be hard for both of them to stay up. Consett moving in the right direction.

Not sure what's going on at Redcar Athletic in tier 9. They were well fancied and absolutely flying at the start of the season, but they've lost 4 of their last 5 league matches, as well as 2 recent cup exits, and suddenly that league is looking tight. Could still get a Blyth derby in tier 8 next season, but Blyth Town were battered 0-5 at home to Shildon today, and Blyth are also not in great form with only 5 points from their last 6.

It’s good to see North Shields turn things around under their new owners.

I haven’t had the chance to go and see them so far this season between work, other commitments, and NUFC clashes.

I was going to go on Tuesday night, but had to stay in for an engineer who didn’t arrive until the match kicked off.

Not uncommon for local games to be 11am on Boxing day. Most of the Northern League is.

Quite surprised, thought there would be an issue with the dew or something, plus no lie ins :lol:. Mind just seen your Prudhoe's derby with Ryton is kicking off at 10.30am on Boxing Day.

I think I might actually go to Prudhoe vs Ryton/Crawcrook on Boxing Day. My nephew was a mascot during the same match last season, which was an evening. I didn't go to that, but I think there were over 400 there. 10.30am is quite appealing, can go and then get on with the rest of my day. I was surprised to see there is only 2 and a half miles between the 2 grounds.

 

They are adjacent in the table and in playoff contention, which makes it more appealing.

 It would be nice if they could sneak back up into the Northern Premier East!

 

(Presumably they now satisfy the criteria?)

Aye the lad played for Thornaby apparently, I was there Saturday watching them brush Alnwick aside. Didn't hear anyone saying a word about one of their players being in custody.

I went to Prudhoe vs Ryton earlier. Ryton won 1-0 and deserved to win. Hell of a slope at Essity Park, 10x more obvious than SJP. Ryton scored when shooting up hill, and then went down to 10 men with about 25 mins to go, but Prudhoe never looked like scoring and they eventually had a man off themselves in injury time. 286 there apparently, but Ryton brought a lot with them and certainly around me outnumbered the home support.

 

I was thinking Ryton's number 5 looked half decent - he looked older than 30, but was quite comfortable at the back and organised well (he was their captain), and I looked him up when I got home and he came through Wallsend Boys and signed with Burnley when he was 17 12 years ago, but had some sort of condition which has obviously hindered him. Quotes from wor Eddie there:

Gateshead 4 Hartlepool 3

 

Darlington 4 Scarborough 3

Spennymoor 1 South Shields 1

 

Blyth 3 Whitby 4 (was 0-3 last time I saw, so was thinking this could have been 0-5/6)

Stockton 1 Hebburn 1

Workington 2 Morpeth 2

 

Bishop Auckland 3 Consett 1

Dunston 2 Newton Aycliffe 1

Heaton 1 Ashington 3

 

For the Stan lads on here, has anything obvious changed since the start of the season, or just starting to find it tough? I think in their first 11 league games they W4 D3 L4 so around 15 points (if that's what they did), but in their last 12 games they have only W1 D2, so just 5 points. They could have just had harder fixtures, or momentum gone from promotion or something, but that's a hell of a contrast from one period to the next.

 

Bishop Auckland, who were also promoted from the Northern League last season, have kind of done the exact opposite. They started the season with just 6 points from their first 10 matches (W1 D3 L6), but since then have taken 24 from their last 11 matches (7W 3D 1L).
