And Moore of Spennymoor has won player of the year. Congratulations to him and Ainsley - they have both had very good seasons.

(Insert comment here about how the NL are obsessed with the FA Vase and Spennymoor Town)

Surely it should be voted on the performance of the manager in that particular competition and not cups?

:lol: Have you not been paying attention to how the Northern League is run?!

Vase > League Cup > County Cup > The actual northern league > promotion.

No surprise, just sums up what the Northern League really think of us. A nice sly little dig to finish off with...

We could get annoyed about another instance of buck-toothed simpletons circle-jerking over 'one of their own' in a bungled attempt to snub the fact we've just completely steamrollered their backwards league... but... whatever... we're out of here! Leave them to it.

Congratulations to Jason on guiding his team to second place behind the manager who started the season with no players but built a team that blitzed the league by 13 points and smashed its alltime points and goals records. A worthy winner, obviously.

They do have a habit of giving it to the vase winners. In fact this is the first time Ainsley has won it. Just proves how they only care about the vase and the league is just a means to the end. Couldn't care less about it now. But it still amazes me just how wrong the NL board have got their priorities.

Still, we're out of it now. And to paraphrase Quakerz, we are back in the pyramid where progression and improvement matters.

Total and utter disgrace ..... Unfortunately it underlines the parochial idiocy of north east football and more especially its numb brain hierarchy at this level.

In my eyes it makes our achievement that much better, in that Martin Gray, the players and us the supporters, did what we did against a tide of of such unprecedented ignorance of what we are and where we came from.

I won't even wish them good luck with it .... Any of em. They ALL deserve each other and we are well rid.

In some respects, politically, it tells me how the rest of the country portrays people in the north east; the way I feel just now ...... And no doubt BBC look north (deliberate small case btw), will probs have a special feature on monday about Ainsley and his "amazing achievement" on running the big time Charlie's from down south a close (13 points behind) second .... !!

THANKS MARTIN GRAY ..... THANKS! From all Darlo supporters .... and after all, there are more of us than all them put together ........

I actually agree with most of you here. Jason should have won it the last 3 years for winning the league. Now he finishes 2nd in the league but wins the vase and wins manager of the year. Im not saying it isn't deserved because it is but I was a little surprised it wasnt MG.

Anyone know if there was a team of the year (I.e. all star team type of thing) as part of these awards?

Bell, Harrison, Brown, Tait, Scott, Emms, Gott, Galbraith, Thompson, Dowson, Purewal.

Every single other team in the division would be beaten by them...

Nail on head!!

We can forget about them and they can forget about us and pretend it never happened Last season was a bit different for them as someone actually wanted to leave the inbred Amish league. Goodbye Northern league.

I see the top 3 players were Moore, Butler at Ryhope, and Chow of Bay. Now, I'm sure all 3 have had very good seasons, but for us not to have a player in the top 3 of of the player of the year, or for Gray not to win manager of the year, or for one of our players to win Young player of the year (went to Fairley at Bay) after the season we have had - we are statistically one of the very best NL teams of all time - is quite staggering. The only award someone at our club won was handed out by BBC Newcastle and not the Northern League itself- says it all really.

Dunno about that, they gave us a trophy (or we took it).

Almost a year to the day we had a management team but little else, we sign virtually a playing squad of players not contracted to other clubs, most of the top players were tied down to contracts with other clubs yet we win 40 out of 46 games with a goal difference of over 100,the best set of results probably in non league football, and Martin gets pipped for this award by a manager who has established himself in the Northern League over 4 or 5 years, and with a healthy budget can hand pick the cream of the crop. Typical Amos bias towards his Spenny Vase winning, tin pot Northern League cup winning, biting off more than they can chew little favourites. Thank god we are out of this league for good and back in the pyramid run by football people who know what they are doing and appear to be welcoming us into there league with a lot more respect than we received from the Northern League.

Chow ahead of Thommo, do me a favour you bunch of jokers.

I agree with this.
Jason Ainsley has done very well, and the fact that he only won it once he won the vase (because league champions 3 times in a row ain't enough) just emphasises, again, where the league's priorities lie.
