Looked quality while he was with us. Played half a season and then sold him to St Mirren for a fee of around £75k. By the sounds of it it didn't work out for him up there. Alan Stubbs who signed him was sacked not long after then he got frozen out.
While he was with us he just looked a...
Dont think you'll find many of our fans particularly bothered. Ainge isn't what he was. The injury he picked up at Harrogate has finished him as a striker. He simply isn't mobile enough. Cant get around the pitch or get into the box enough. Lose the ball and it's like playing with 10 men. At CB...
It's a possibility. They are currently in talks with the council to build a 'sporting village' at the arena site which would have a hotel, retail, sporting facilities etc. If reports are to be believed they did previously reject a ground share when we were looking to move back to the town so who...
Wouldn't count on it. Discussions still on going regarding the long term future location of the club. Blackwell Meadows licence up for renewal and theres no secret we're not happy with the current deal with the rugby club, which restricts our access to the club to match days and restricts our...
Tbf you'd probably say the same about Scott Harrison but Spennymoor have just handed him a contract.
Horses for courses and all that. Not signed yet so bit of a moot point at the moment. Liddle sounds a decent signing. If we could have Jarrett Rivers and Dan Maguire off blyth too that would be...
To be fair it was between Trotman and Minihan (your right back if that's how you spell his name?). Only my personal opinion as you say, but in my opinion I think County were the best team this year but not necessarily (warburton aside) with the best individual players. Always incredibly...
If I were to build a team from the league would probably look a bit like:
tional league north team)
4-3-3
Gk - Matt Urwin (Chorley)
Rb - Luke Trotman (Darlington)
CB- Gareth Dean (Brackley)
CB- James Curtis (Spennymoor)
LB - Stephen Brogan (Spennymoor)
CM - Rob Ramshaw (Spennymoor)

Your personal player of the season:
Luke Trotman - not many stand out players in a poor season. But this guy is consistently one of the best RB's in the league. Deserves his chance playing higher.
Your teams best prospect:
Luke Trotman - will be 22 in June. One of the best right backs in the...
Am I going to be made to eat my words on this one?
Still cant see it. Surely you cant sign a player who would be your highest earner when you still dont have a manager in place for next season.
He's been one of the few bright points for us this season. Really good in that Central Attacking Midfield position getting the ball in between Midfield and CB's and running at CB's. Can take shots either side and has scored 11 this season. He's a little bit lightweight and can be pushed off the...
Not sure if Darlo's list has been put up on here. So if not here goes.
Retained:
Jonny Burn (CB)
Simon Ainge (CB)
Terry Galbraith (CB)
Tom Elliott (CM)
Mitchell Glover (CM)
Joe Wheatley (CM)
Stephen Thompson (RW)
Club exercised 1 year options on:
Luke Trotman (RB)
Jordan Nicholson (CAM)...
Not sure what the situation is at Farsley but they are selling adult season tickets for £80 for next season so someone must be footing the bill.
Agree with you that the league may be even more open next year. Unless Blyth can find a decent whack of cash for next season then they risk their...
Cant see it personally. We dont have a manager yet so how anyone can be talking about players for next season other than those already under contract. Especially one which would take up a considerable amount of the budget.
Have to wait and see who is manager first and then see if Styche fits...
Hope the lad will still have support from the PFA following his release. suffered a horrendous injury against Southport when on loan to us back in Feb.
"As well as a fractured femur, he has suffered three ruptured ligaments; his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), his posterior cruciate ligament...
I'd say the opposite. South shields would be a good addition to the league. Good away day. Plenty of fans.
Kings Lynn would be a pain in the arse to get to.
And your club raised £75k and passed it to HMRC to pay the VAT bill of a man you accused of being a crook :£:£:£. It's almost as bad as losing £1.5m in 2017/18 season to finish 15th in the National League. Wouldn't that make you one of the worst pro teams in the country? Best watch out, no...
Goalkeepers
Johnny Maddison - keep - confidence is definitely down but looks like he could be a decent keeper. Not helped by following the impressive Pears and Bartlett that went before him.
Defenders
Terry Galbraith - keep. Contracted for next season and usually a solid 7/10 performer.
Luke...
Fans voted for both darlo kits for next season. The home one will sport fans names in the white bands. The away on... we let's just say has been coined by fans as Denis the menace.
