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? ;)

For all the banter genuinely hope they get promoted would love to see them, poolies, Gateshead, south shields. scarboro etc in the same league with us as opposed to traveling to Nuneaton

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.

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

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.

Is it the % of the towns population that pays the bills spen? Or is it Brad's seven figure investment?

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

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.

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

Unless I’m missing something on this thread I don’t think attendances were mentioned anywhere until Spen (Thrush) brought them up.

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

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

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

Yawn. And the obsession with Brad's investment goes on.

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

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!

Nothing in the moderation logs, either. Think your eyes were telling lies, Spen.

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

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.

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.

Spenny crowds are pretty decent, 10 years or so of success, financial input and improvements certainly helps that.

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.

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.

Im using the dictionary definition of the word Investment - "investment" - "the action or process of investing money for profit."

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.
