Spenny Bottle
Seems to have gone a bit earlier this season
Re: Spenny Bottle
Their form is only just better than most of the relegation strugglers. 1 win in last 5,is this a deliberate ploy as perhaps they see the playoffs as a means to generate some excitement?

Re: Spenny Bottle
I hope it goes tits up for them.
Re: Spenny Bottle
Nothing to do with bottle, Spennymoor were beaten by a better side on the night. At the end of the season the league table presents a true picture of how sides have performed
No complaints. I am prepared to admit we didn't deserve to win.
As for comments about the size of the crowd...Spennymoor get a far higher % of their town population watching them than Darlington do. Its not really a surprise that Darlington get around double the gates Spennymoor do, when the population of Darlington is around 6 times that of Spennymoor.
In reply to eddie-rowles comments about all the NE sides being in same division, its more likely to be in NLN than in NL as its more likely that Hartlepool and Gateshead will come down than all the others go up sadly.

Re: Spenny Bottle
I'd be pretty amazed if they manage to not make the playoffs this year.

Re: Spenny Bottle
I also hope they don't get promoted, as it wouldn't be the same without them! I do think they'll make the playoffs but no further.

THe comment I was answering was in relation to attendances. Who pays the bills is irrelevant to that. However, paying bills is a novel idea
Re: Spenny Bottle
Spen is actually right here. I think it's bad that the best thing we can criticise Spenny about is attendance and realistically it's us who should have more in attendance.spen666 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 12:12 pmJE93 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 11:24 amIs it the % of the towns population that pays the bills spen?

I did think spenny were quite poor when we played them, perhaps on off day, but as we know they were fortunate to come away with a win. It's easily said but I wonder where they'd be without Taylor and where we'd be if we had a Taylor or Nelson playing for us all year
Re: Spenny Bottle
I actually thought they had a good crowd by their standards last night.
Re: Spenny Bottle
Unless I’m missing something on this thread I don’t think attendances were mentioned anywhere until Spen (Thrush) brought them up.
Thrush——-irritating c##t

Re: Spenny Bottle
Andrew Park had mentioned them and that is what I was replying to
There was a 2nd paragraph to his post when I logged on commenting on Brad Groves money and the size of the crowd

That said, Spendymore fans do seem incredibly sensitive to any comments on their attendances.

Re: Spenny Bottle
We all accept that attendances have been poor this season but these are in line with the poor season we are having.The potential support we have waiting to back a successful team far outweighs the Spenny support ...this is the big difference between us and them.If we were going for promotion as well as cementing a playoff place, crowds would be more towards the 2000 mark than 1000 at present and would imagine more than 200 fans going to Stockport for a top of the league clash

Was just thinking that. No sign of a 'last edited by' at the bottom of Andy's post. Aren't solicitors supposed to have a keen eye for detail and accuracy?

Re: Spenny Bottle
I don't mind the banter and rivalry between the two clubs. At the moment they are in a better position than us and let them enjoy it while it lasts, we have far greater concerns in just staying in touch in this division!
"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"

Re: Spenny Bottle
Not just spennymoors population and surrounding areas been smaller but considering the fact they have never been in the football league or even the top division of non league i would say there crowds are decent
I may not live in the north east anymore but i still support the north east teams

Re: Spenny Bottle
Your boring and fake mask of neutrality dropped there Spen. Need I remind you that your club went out of business, not paying its bills and then proceeded to steal another one.spen666 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 12:12 pmJE93 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 11:24 amIs it the % of the towns population that pays the bills spen?

It's still truly baffling you continue to frequent this message board, in the manner you do, when everybody is aware of your comments about Darlo on other platforms.

Re: Spenny Bottle
Spenny crowds are pretty decent, 10 years or so of success, financial input and improvements certainly helps that.shildonlad wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 4:21 pmNot just spennymoors population and surrounding areas been smaller but considering the fact they have never been in the football league or even the top division of non league i would say there crowds are decent
They struggled to increase crowds in the Northern League and the local community has only got on board really since moving up the leagues, shows that sitting in the NL winning every week wasn't the answer - it only ever helped the NL committee having a great day out at Wembley.
The question would be if Spenny stopped having the funds to do so well, what would be the natural position/crowd levels? Lucky for the fans that it's not a question they need to ask right now and can just enjoy it for what it is.

Spennymoor - the only team in the country with more supporters clubs than supporters.

Re: Spenny Bottle
Hobby suggests something he doesn't take too seriously. I would suggest he takes Spennymoor very seriously. And I'm sure he's "invested" plenty of time and money. If you are trying to say he'll never realise a profit on what he's put in, depends if you only measure it in monetary terms. Seeing his club sitting so close to National League is probably a decent return for him.OnTheTerraces wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 1:49 pmHardly an "investment" ........... more "an expensive hobby"

Putting money into Spennymoor is not an investment. There is absolutely no chance he will make any return on the money he has put in.
