Paullow Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 What's happened to Shildon this season? Last season they finished 5th and made the playoffs, but this season they have lost 8 of their 11 games, -11 GD, and just a couple of places above the relegation zone. You look at that table and see the other 5 recent former NL sides in positions 1, 2, 3, 6 and 9, and you just kind of automatically expect NL sides to do well. Have they lost key players / staff and had investment pulled or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 18 minutes ago, Optimistic Nut said: Good chance Shields will be televised you'd think? It'll probably depend on how many matches they can show. It is tier 7 at home to tier 3, but one's probably the biggest club at that level with a 75,000 population, whereas the other is the smallest with a population of less than 6,000, and they probably average around a similar amount at the gates, so it doesn't really feel like a huge mismatch, despite the huge pyramid gap. The Kevin Phillips familiarity factor might help though. I'd say Hereford vs Portsmouth is a sure fire pick as Portsmouth are definitely one of the biggest clubs entering this stage, won the competition not too long ago, and you've got he whole Ronnie Radford stuff to boot. Bracknell Town vs Ipswich is also tier 7 vs tier 3 (like Shields), but Ipswich are obviously a much bigger draw than FGR, so will feel much more of an upset if Bracknell pull it off. Wouldn't surprise me too much if they opted for one 'safe pick' as well like Bolton vs Barnsley where they will get x amount of viewers from the respective fanbases. BBC also running Alvechurch as their main headline with them being the lowest ranked side remaining, but then they are away, and they'd usually like the underdog to be at home. If there are 4 TV matches then there will be a decent chance of it being picked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 But the BBC won't be able to use their usual cliched day-job references. "The striker will have to be back on the tools come Monday, he's a full-time footballer by trade". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Went to North Shields v Ossett United yesterday (was working) How it didn't end up 4-4 or 5-5, I'll never know. In the end, it finished 1-1 - Ossett went ahead in the 90th minute, only for Shield's keeper (and MoM) to equalise from a corner in the 6th minute of injury time. First time I've been to a game and seen a keeper score. Blyth had a good and much needed win v Telford, yesterday - 3-0, with 2 goals for Matty Cornish.

He was an absolute cunt to the 'volunteers'/group who kept the club running, so using their legally contracted rights they've pretty much disbanded the club. He still owes 2k iirc to another local club, keeps making excuses not to pay them back. Edited November 9, 2022 by FCB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
