Paullow Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Not really relevant, but Droylsden have had a big fall in recent times. They were in the Conference National in 2008 and a year later made the 2nd round of the FA Cup, as well as in 2010/11. Today they are in the 10th tier and the equivalent of the likes of Prudhoe and AFC Newbiggin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 1970's, Minehead finished runners up to Wimbledon in the year they won the Southern League (Level 5) and got elected to the Football League. They also beat Swansea City away in the FA Cup. They are now languishing at level 12 in the pyramid.....same as Wideopen, Rothbury....and of course...Bedlington! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they withdrew from the leagues a few years back and were re-admitted at the lowest senior tier. Bigmouth owner/manager whose line of business is well known in the region.

Alberto2005 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Bit of a shameless plug here. Me and a mate built a web app to help non league/grassroots players find new clubs and also clubs/scouts find new players. Does anyone know of anyone in the non league circuit who might be interested in signing up? It's completely free/no credit card required. The URL is: https://skouto.com/ Thanks!

Do you know Hugo Langton (@langtoncoaching on Twitter)? Send it to him, if he's still running his scouting business alongside his coaching job he might have a use for this I reckon, when I used to work for him I think there were 30-40 of us in a WhatsApp group, something like this would have been very valuable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Ossett scored a 94th minute equaliser against Bishop Auckland, despite being down to 9 men. Extra 2 points would have been really handy for Bishops who seem to have turned a corner under Martin Gray. Blyth T, Ashington and Newton Aycliffes home matches were all postponed, but Lincoln United unfortunately beat Heaton to pull further away from the bottom 4. Heaton have had a great season, but looks like it will kind of just peter out from here. Not helped by losing a couple of players recently. Consett won again and are up to 7th, but Blyth S are away at leaders Redcar tomorrow (weather permitting) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebburn obviously had a modest start and have been very good in recent months, but no team are averaging 2 points per game. They do have 7 of their final 12 matches at home, including a big one on Saturday. Probably know more at 5pm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Hartlepool equalise against York in the 97th minute to make it 2-2, only for York to seal it with a 103rd minute penalty. Oof. For the second season running it looks like the Minstermen are going to finish second, comfortably away from 1st but miles ahead of 3rd. 81 goals so far, still the highest of anyone in the top five divisions; Coventry are next with 63. Absolute goal machines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Hebburn drew 1-1 with 3rd place today, while Hednesford followed up the sacking of their manager with a 5-0 defeat to Hyde, a result that didn't help Morpeth at the wrong end. Massive win for Ashington in the league below, but Blyth S lost in the 95th minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 This guy is good. Teesside based (I think), but goes to so many grounds in the North East non league and combines a match vlog with local geography. He was at Hebburn on Saturday for their match with FCUM.
