Wallsendmag Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I'll be rooting for Blyth Town in that one. Enjoyed our visit there on Monday. Nice, friendly club. Been to Bishops once, albeit about 10 years ago and they were an odd bunch to say the least. 2 of their fans arrived by horse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 What a turnaround for Gateshead. 11 points clear now. Considering that 16 game losing streak, some comeback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 0-0 draw for Spartans, at home to Garforth Town. Might be a big point come the end of the season. Seem to be lacking a centre-forward at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to be lacking a centre-forward at the moment. Alnwick Town says hi Manager is leaving at the end of the season after two league cups and promotion back to the Northern League. Canny knock in five years. We can only finish 8th or 9th and it's been a frustrating season with a lot of points dropped to shit teams who are going to get relegated but from the point of view that we were playing in the Alliance two years ago I can't object too much. Signed off at home with a 3-1 over a shit Darlington team with only 3 subs, last game is at Chester le Street next week, a ground I haven't been to. Morpeth looking in trouble now as well.

Paullow Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I was at the Bishops-Blyth T match, exciting first 15 minutes, but fizzled out. Bishops won via an extremely controversial second half penalty, one of the softest you'll see, having already missed a penalty in the opening 15 minutes. Maybe a fair result, just about, but both have a very tough fixture within their remaining two matches, so I unfortunately could still see both going down. Silsden winning away wasn't ideal. Ossett are away to Consett on Saturday - a similar fixture to the one last night against Heaton, playing a team who have had a great season, but not much to play for, but Consett did win 3-0 today (albeit vs the bottom team, Brighouse, who's relegation was confirmed), and it is their last home match of the season, so hopefully they will put in a good performance. Silsden's win means it's very likely we lose at least 2 north east sides from that league this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Not sure what happened to North Shields today in the league below. Battered 1-6 at home to mid table Birtley and all but ends their play off hopes. Guisborough won the league today and will be playing in the NPL East next season. Great 1-0 win for West Auckland away at Whitley Bay to very much keep their playoff hopes alive. That could be a repeat of a playoff semi final in a couple of weeks, although Boro Rangers are probably favourites for 4th and to avoid Shildon in the semi final.

Aye, could do with Shields beating Macclesfield and Macc dropping further points before the final game so that Kidderminster secure the 3rd place and play off bye as that might make the match a bit easier as Kidderminster may rest players, or they don't jump in to tackles etc. to risk injuries or cards, plus it won't be their final home match as they would have a home playoff match, but if they need points to secure 3rd then it won't be easy. Fylde are away at 8th place Merthyr on the final day, who are very much in the playoff picture, so you'd think a chance for them to lose 4 away matches on the spin. The only problem is Merthyr have only gained 1 point from their last 6 matches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I quite like the idea of Town and Albion merging with the aim to push on, but a chance the new club will fall lower than where both original clubs were back in 2018, prior to the merger. A reasonable chance that they will be out of the relegation zone going into the final day as they have the easier looking match on paper than the other 2 sides in relegation contention up next, but then they do have a tough final match vs neighbours Bradford PA, who will very likely be going for the playoffs, especially if they do beat Bishops this Saturday. I saw them last Saturday vs Dunston and they really should have won that match comfortably and looked a good team. It's looking like 2 of Bishop Auckland, Blyth Town and Ossett United will drop as it stands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager now James Walshaw was a really good striker for them for many years, he was in first team when I was young think he had some trials at football league clubs. The president of Ossett United is ironically Gail Platt from Coronation Streets brother. Edited April 11 by Alberto2005 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
