Well, the club have released an official statement opposing the decision.
I think momentum will grow with this over the next few days.

Re: Once the dust settles...
I think one of the prime examples has got to be Accrington Stanley. There hospitality options for the size of their club/stadium/fan base are awesome, and you can see why the owner has spent so much money in recent years upgrading specifically in to that side of the business "losses last season of ...

Re: Steve Watson - 2 year contract confirmed
Very positive move by the club. Encouraging that Watson has stated the squad only needs a few tweaks over the summer to make us competitive, and that promotion over the next couple of seasons is the aim. Whether thats realistic/sensible is neither hear nor there but its the right message and a 180 c...

Re: Once the dust settles...
I agree that the EFL is fundamentally a bit of a dream, and spending money upgarding BM to even just NL standard would have some benefit to match day experience. But wouldn't we still be incredibly restricted in our revenue generation on non match-days? I personally would be very loathe to put furt...

Re: Once the dust settles...
I am not sure that even close to a majority of clubs are 'properly going for a play off place'...wouldn't suggest it is the norm by any stretch. I disagree. I reckon 50% of clubs properly go for a playoff place. We are basically at the end of the season and ten clubs are in with a shout of a play o...

Re: Well how did we do that?
Why do threads always descend into personal point-scoring?

Re: Once the dust settles...
Competitive sport is (or should be) about winning every single time. If not, then what's the point? That doesn't mean it should be the expectation, but you can't tell a manager or a player to only try to win half their games. If we were to go up (can't believe we're seriously having this discussion ...

Re: Well how did we do that?
Obviously not but for the record I thought there was no point in getting rid of Gowling because someone like Watson would not want to walk into that mess. Delighted to have been proved wrong on that. I doubt that very much due to your constant defending of Gowling and the fact that applicants such ...

Re: Well how did we do that?
I think we'll need to deepen the squad a bit if we're to do well next season. We have been quite lucky over the last few weeks that injuries haven't hit too hard (other than a couple of long term absentees).

Re: Looks like they're staying...
Yeh, Young won't be back. I'm sure a new GK will be a priority, and I'd hope that we have a good chance of securing Cornish and Barrow on contracts. If we can get those sorted early on, move out a few of the squad players/under-performers, then we should hopefully have a decent core of a side to fle...

I'm basing this on the 2 games I've seen this season. Curzon and Warrington away.
Let's hope I'm not needed at Chester.

Re: When Watson and Mitchell took over…
Things have fallen apart on and off the pitch at Blyth since the takeover. The takeover has yet to go through so we've been hamstrung in terms of recruitment.

Re: When Watson and Mitchell took over…
There's one or two things gone on in the background at Blyth that don't sound great. Apparently there's been a couple of cutbacks at the club since the takeover was announced with a big fanfare, one of which means the club is no longer providing food for the players on away trips. The independent s...

Re: The Bottom Ten, Saturday Apr 06th 2024
I think Southport are still in a spot of bother even though they have 53 points. Their goal difference is only 1 goal better than ours and they have 2 massive games to play. They are at home to Rushall on Saturday, and on current form I quite fancy an away win, and their final match is away at Sout...

Re: Massive credit to Watson and the board
It was pointed out much earlier in the season how few points separated pretty much everyone from 5th down, and I expect that's played a part in why a slightly higher total than usual will be needed to stay up this year. Spennymoor looked in danger of being sucked into the mire a while ago but are no...

Re: Darlington V Southport
Unless he's absolutely ripping it up in training, I can't see Watson putting him in under current circumstances, and it seems unlikely that he's ripping it up in training if he's lacking match fitness.
