Re: What's next

We have fans saying they won’t come because of the viewing and others not until we are winning. To enhance the viewing will cost money development of the open is the obvious choice I’d imagine this will cost several hundred thousand pounds. With a promotion FSIF money would fall in however this seem...

Re: Taking Stock: Consolidation

I'm slightly surprised that we haven't been doing that at BM - I just presumed we were considering that was our address Its only our address on matchdays two hours before and 90 minutes after the match.

Re: Mark Beck

Beck proved last season that he can score goals and create them when he's fully fit. Being forced to play when injured didn't help his cause this season. But that was last season. This season is not last season. This season he has been woeful, injured, immobile, missed countless sitters, and still ...

What goes round comes around so let’s not find to much comfort in Yorks results at present, I’d...

Don't think Gray really went over budget he just asked and was allowed to spend when he may have been told no. He actually had an 80k budget cut which we have plugged the gap, however attendances dropping may well see a budget cut required anyhow. May well be the best time to see where we are and r...

Re: Short-termism

I can understand everyone's dissapointment but South Shields have lost one in 44 games they came to win. I'm not making excuses but we have had plenty of injuries, young lads on the bench with little first team experience and we are missing Brown.
