It’s off topic but Blyth is a bit of a shit hole, well the town centre and immediate areas around it are. They have trained to smarten it up in recent years, but it’s kind of like painting a house that has cracks in it. Some nice housing estates etc going up just outside of it and it has great access to the countryside. It does have potential but the investment in virtual non-existent, at least not where it needs to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't find many people griping over Croft Park, it's a decent ground for that level, taking into account it's an original ground and not an out-of-town replica.

Clearly needs investment on and off the pitch but it's that's a pipe dream . I find the Blyth bashing a bit odd on here from a few . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much talk of 1978 cup runs, that stuff if ancient history. While the ground has improved, the matchday experience is pretty much the same since I first went in 1995. Other clubs at that level (and below) are able to make more money from fans because they provide better food, beverage and hospitality options across the board.

It's crying out for a change at the top. 'The Blazers' have had their time. Needs new ideas and investment (the club) GWN - am listening on Blyth Live. as am still on mend from covid.

Despite living a couple of streets away from it, until recently I hardly ever went in. They are planning on regenerating some of it and linking it up with the Fish Quay better, however I feel like even then large parts of it will be still quite run down. I believe part of the problem is that the shops are spread out too far for what is required now for a town centre. Like most towns these days, you don’t need the amount of stores there are available, and you have a large number of vacant shops and other shops on side streets where they should be converted back to housing. In addition to this, shop owners are given no incentive to maintain the upkeep of their shops and they look tacky and unkept in most places. I have said it before, but North Shileds is a place you go for cheap bargain shops and stuff, not somewhere you go to sit and have a coffee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
