Re: Steve Watson - new York manager

Gateshead are doing remarkably well in spite of the clear and obvious problems off the field. Have to say fair play to them. I'm sure Pears is no doubt helping them a great deal. Guy's capable of playing way up the ladder. If it goes tits up at Gateshead I wonder if Clark could be tempted by our jo...

Re: Jake Turner - New Signing

This could be really good news. Maddison - I don't think I've ever felt as nervous about any goal keeper. Hold my beer...... The year is 2009.

Re: B T B Email

Completely agree. Comments on here about board members resigning etc if ever we move away from being fan owned seems very short sighted. We have clearly reached our level as a fan owned club and if anything are struggling to maintain where we even are now, which let’s be honest is a relegation batt...

I am also committing to maintaining my pledge. Withdrawing your funding, therefore impacting the club's finances, because you don't like a manager is Raj Singh behaviour. As I've said previously, BTB may require a re-brand so the touchy amongst the fan base don't associate it with guaranteed success...

Re: Hartlepool match confirmed at BM

The reality is we signed a lot of technically decent players but not enough players capable of leading a side or happy to battle for points. Players like Nicholson and Thompson would flourish with a midfielder breaking up the play behind them and doing their dirty work. Yep - I actually don't think...

Re: Hartlepool match confirmed at BM

Burn's errors cost us last night, no doubt about it. Aside from this we were comfortable and should have been out of sight by the time they equalised. However, it is yet another lead we have surrendered this season. The lack of leaders in the team is obvious and under pressure we fold. If we go behi...

Re: Luke Trotman

He's our only recognised right back, so there would be a clear impact, especially with our ability to bring in new players expected to be limited to unproven loan signings.

With the 500 club and the early bird sales we currently have not too shy of 800 season ticket holders for next season. Next big push should be to hit the 1,000 mark.
