Was there last Wednesday v Whitley which I thought was a decent game between 2 pretty good sides who'll both be top 6/7 this season. Wouldn't mind Stan having 1 more season in NL before going up to the next league but of course it's no longer optional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they have but I’d love to be proven wrong. Hopefully the pitch has improved a bit. Was at the Redcar game Saturday and it was unbelievably direct compared to what they were playing earlier in the season because of it. Doesn't really suit their better players either.

Me and the lad I was stood with last Wednesday both noticed the state of the pitch. Really poor condition and sadly doesn't really lend itself to getting the ball down and trying to play football. Just so uneven and bobbly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate of mine had just joined their newly formed supporters club. Already just shy of £200 members and by all accounts they've already raised a few £K in subscriptions and donations. They emailed the club a on Monday I think it was about arranging a meeting with them so that they couldn't work together to hopefully bring some stability and prosperity to proceedings but unsurprisingly they haven't bothered to respond. He also reckons they were donated a turnstile form some security company a couple of months ago (no turnstile was one of the things their ground failed on last year) and its still just standing there outside. They haven't even bothered to install it. Oh, and they still refuse to take card payment at the gate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 So, they've just rearranged the deckchairs on the titanic then (with the club being ran by 'new folk'? Me and the lad I look after haven't seen since Sept. He's lost interest a bit, given what's happened. No wonder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Fucking ridiculous. Honestly if fans are paying to be on some sort of board and they are not keeping up their end, then surely there is someone to report them too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 He also reckons Malcolm Macdonald was at their home match last Saturday and was having an argument with one of the lads who's part of this newly formed Supporters Club telling him they were going on about things all wrong way. Impression I get off him is that most the fans have now either stopped going or the ones that remain are just totally disillusioned with the club. 183 at their last home game says it all.

He was before my time as a legend, but honestly I’ve met him a couple of times and there is something not quite right about Malcolm Macdonald like. I can’t put my finger on it, and I can’t really give a specific example, but do you know when you meet someone and you just think there is something off? I think my stepdad feels the same way, he does a lot for North Shields Athletic, which my stepdad is involved in. He’s not said it per say, but I get the impression that my stepdad thinks he’s a bit arrogant, but allows him to brush it over and still be in awe of him a bit because he was a club legend when my stepdad was young. As for North Shields, I’ve told them at meetings, on social media etc. They simply just do not give a fuck. They have a little club house there that sells cheap larger, and such, but they rarely have it open outside of matchdays. At the risk of bordering being disrespectful, but it’s in an area where they wouldn’t really have much of a problem gaining customers if they opened it up outside of match days and the very occasional Friday night. They should easily be able to afford to have at least 1 paid staff member there as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUJ Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Just a quick reminder/info. El Coastico is this coming Tuesday. Whitley Bay v North Shields. Can't see Shields getting anything from this unfortunately. But, survival is the name of the game this season. Just hope they can grab something. The turnstiles are now inside the ground. Not fitted as yet. The Clubhouse are doing their best to push events and if their twitter feed is to be believed they have a fair few events booked in in the coming month or two. The supporters association have only just emailed the Club in the last few days to request a meet up. I've not heard anything as yet as to how the request will be received by the committee. I don't think they can refuse with their current predicament being fairly piss poor and if they're arrogant enough to refuse fan involvement it'll be, in my opinion, a huge nail in the Clubs coffin. We'll come again if everyone is together moving forward. Let's just hope they are more receptive than the last attempt at getting the supporters involved.

Paullow Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Spennymoor couldn't buy a win for months just a few weeks ago, relegation looked a real possibility, but they are in great form now and the playoffs might not be out of the question. Darlington in great form too, beat Scunthorpe 4-0 and have now won 4 in a row and are just int he drop zone on goal difference. Steve Watson seems to have done a good job. Blyth weren't playing tonight, but with Darlo and Kings Lynn in good form and them currently not being able to buy a win (looks like they only have 2 points from their last 8 games), plus potential worries with the takeover, it's not looking great.
