Yorkie Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 They'll have Scunthorpe United next season, tragic. Scarborough coming from behind to win away at Chorley, get in. Would be so class if they got themselves up. Another dismal day for York, battered at home to Halifax. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) Great win for shields. Good to see them finally get up after the travesty of the leagues getting cancelled. Good to see my home town getting to that level Sewper Kev not managing to throw it away 👏 Edited April 10, 2023 by Ace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokerprince2004 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 So they're now just 1 division below the conference now. Very well done. Not sure how much higher they can go and if they're now at their 'Ceiling'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's more to it than attendances but with an average of 2100-ish, they're getting more folks through the turnstiles than all but a very small handful of clubs in the whole sixth tier, and would be lower mid-range of all the teams in the National League this year.

Disco Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 What’s their ground like? Be good to have two teams in the Conference like. No idea what type of football they play but I’d have no issue sending youngsters to the Heed given how they like to get the ball down and play it out.

We’ve just built a new stand with seats on one side and then have 2 covered standing sections behind the goal. The other side of the pitch has the old small seated section as well as the marquee and pub where you can get a drink. The level we were at they were the only professional club so had a big advantage. Generally Sewper Kev has had them playing quite negatively when they should be pushing on. The owner seems to like the Sunderland connections rather than a potential link up with NUFC. If we can get to the conference (which is the stated aim) we’d be stupid to not try and get some players in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrovianmag Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Aren't a few (or previously were) ex Newcastle? Been ages since watched them in flesh - last was when arca was playing for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Just had a look on their website and the only ex Newcastle player I recognise is Conor Newton who went on loan to St Mirren the same time as Dummett. There must be at least 5 with Sunderland connections. One of (Chairman / Owner) Geoff's sons supports Sunderland, and I assume Geoff probably will too.

Paullow Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Is it just one club going up from the Northern League this year, or will there be another inter playoff like last year when Consett also got promoted? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class set up they’ve got, a decent match day experience despite the ground not being in a great place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its always canny being able to have a pint at pitch side, at the start and end of the season when the weather is best its absolutely spot on Yeah the ground used to be ran by the Filtrona company hence why its there, its on the outskirts of the town but its with in close distance of the metro so easy enough to get to, there was some talk when Thompson took over that they might try and get gypsies green which is right on the sea front but apparently the cycling club who use it weren't happy about losing the track round the edges Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Hebburn so it’s ideal for me tbf, was more thinking of pubs etc nearby. Gypsies Green would’ve been class. It is certainly better than where Gateshead Stadium is mind.

They opened that Tams bar at Bede which seems to do good business on a match day. The sima arms was always a canny meeting point to walk down from but its no good now it keeps pretending to be fancy restaurants. The only other ones within a 10-15 minute walk if you like local flavour are the Jester and Red hackle (Hackle is the Jarrow FC bar as well) Hogarths in the town centre used to do a free mini bus back and forwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I do like the Hackle, even though it’s more of a red and white boozer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Looks like that's the Heed safe, 5-2 win away at Eastleigh and onto 52 points. They could end up with a top half finish at this rate Would love them to make a few good additions in the summer and have a crack at the playoffs next year. Hopefully they can carry this form over the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoreboard82 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Was at Blue Star v Killingworth the other night. Blue Star looking good for promotion but crowds seem to have dropped significantly. The had some Friday night games in the last few years with gates of around a 1000 but they had 110 the other night. Sure the Saturday game I previously attended only managed about 140. Baffled as to why TBH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
