It is no wonder this site is
The usage on this site appears to have drastically diminished over recent times, certainly compared to recent years. I am not talking about the out of season drop off that usually happens. I know I used to be on here several times a day reading comments about Darlo & associated topics. I would chip ...

Re: Terry Melling
Terry, what a hard bugger he was, allegedly he used to pop into the Waterloo for several pints on his way to Feethams before a game

Re: Season null and voided
Hats off to both the National League and the Government for making a right royal pigs ear out of all of this. It's the right thing to do, but let's remember that this will now end up costing the tax payer *more* than if they just came up with some grants... and that's not to say the National League...

Re: League restarts 6 February
Glad Blyth Spartans were just an oversight on the list put out recently. Strength in unity. Of course as others have said. I don't see why football clubs that would potentially be trading at a loss should be made to put into unwanted debt. It's OK though, I had a dream the other night that I had won...

Do you think they are hoping for a "Free Loan"
By claiming they could not pay for a loan ?
Or it could just be an omission !

You are assuming he had not already been in touch with the club which may not be the case. Peter Gibson has always responded quickly to any emails I have sent. He also responded with phone calls when needed for further feedback.

David Johnson : We are in a sad position
As usual a great interview from Ray Simpson with David Johnson to keep us as owners of the club in the picture regarding the 2 week suspension & the chances of the season continuing. Nothing to reveal that we didn't really know but good to hear the clarification from DJ. Again DJ was very frank & op...

I was in the Tinshed when the Bobby Baxter "goal" happened, no doubt hanging over the barrier as I did in those days.
