Was there any word as to why Fenton was removed?

 

Fenton had them in a good position and at least his team was able to hold onto a lead.

 

Quite a few matches since Phillips took over where the conceded and gave up winning positions, and that has cost them hugely.

Aw shame.

 

(We like South Shields aye?)

Some do, some don't. Mixed reception. Only full-time team left outside of the Vanarama National North as they've cocked up relegation something stupid like every season for the last 4.

Something to do with not being as high in the league constantly as they expected (total bollocks - I reckon it was something external)

Not going up with a full-time team at that level (and a well funded one too) can only be seen as failure.

 

I wonder if Fenton will pop up in another NE dugout before too long?

That was the puzzling thing. He had them second, two points behind the leaders.

 

Think it might have been Matlock at that time but since then they’ve allowed Buxton to catch up and overtake.

 

Surprised he hasn’t surfaced somewhere else in the meantime. 🤔

It was a really odd decision to sack him given where they were like, and considering the last season was stopped due to covid with no promotions it wasn't really his fault they weren't already up.

Maybe just a case of an owner getting too involved in the football side, which appears to have backfired.

Do Hebburn have a bit of money and a potentially more exciting future? 

 

He's just been officially confirmed!

 

They do - they're paying out a lot on wages!

Blyth can do Gateshead a huge favour at the weekend too. 
 

Consett have a playoff against Histon (who were in the Conference not that long ago) to see if they’ll go up from the Northern League also at the weekend.

 

Hopefully Heaton Stan can seal Div 2 title as well.

Really good to see proper NE participation from the region at all levels now. The old Northern League chairman long argued for a Tweed-Humber division (under his control of course), we more or less now have that as the NPL 1E.

Blyth 4 points clear of bottom place Guisley, in the Conference North - 3 games left for the 4 sides down there. Think it will go right to the wire. :(

 

So next season, South Shields only one league above North Shields? :)

This is correct. South Shields is one league below Blyth, York etc.

Heed and Blyth both won so the former are more or less up.

 

Consett won and go up.

 

Heaton fucked it, drew 2-2, and into the playoffs.
