Hebburn 0-1 Leek Town

 

Should have been 3 up half-time but were poor 2nd half!

Spenny won 2-0 away at Sutton today to move into the semi final of the FA trophy. Huge win for Spenny that.  
 

Will play either aldershot, Woking or Rochdale.  

 

 

 

Some win that considering Sutton were a league club last season.

What happened with the Blyth takeover earlier in the season?

 

I seen a few comments saying the new bloke promised the world ? I thought they were just fucked from the previous owners still

 

 

 

Tony Y. I've known him a long time and whilst he also supports Sunderland, he's dyed in the wool Blyth Spartans and a good lad. He's also worked for the club in various capacities down the years (inc stadium announcer)

 

Spartans are in real trouble - it would seem the previous owner took out debt on the club, lined his own pockets and left it for the CIC to deal with when they took over. Wouldn't be surprised if the club goes into administration at some point and may well end up back in the Northern League.

No real idea on the situation at Blyth, but  you have to commend that bloke for the way he manages to stay respectful towards the players, whilst still passionately getting point across to them. That kind of thing is far more likely to get people to listen to you than just ranting and raving.

 

What’s his/the issue with the manager and coaching staff @Big Geordie?

Pretty sure it's just a one off match.

Ah that's right man! I should know that I was at the Gateshead Semi Final last year

I think it's the fact that the new manager hasn't had much of an effect and some of the players that have been brought in simply aren't bothered. Some are saying 'jobs for the boys'.

Just watched it again. The exasperation in the “golf, for fuck’s sake” at the end has me buckled 😂
