Ugly Mackems 133 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Anyone taking in a game during the International break? North Shields v Penrith will be my match of choice. Shields could win the league IF they win their games in hand. (9 behind Consett with 4 in hand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugly Mackems 133 Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 Great Easter weekend of football. Whitley Bay 1 v 3 North Shields. Shields secure the point that secures the title and promotion. Toon 2 v 1 Leicester. West Allotment 2 v 4 North Shields. Shields receive their trophy after a convincing performance. Tougher days lie ahead in the NPL. A good weekend of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I shared the happiness with a visit to The Percy, Three Bulls and The Goose on route. Wonderful matchday experience. You really should try it.

I was in the percy, strikingly handsome chap. you probably noticed me, surrounded by fawning minxy chicks. I did notice a photo on the wall in there dedicated to a newcastle legend tommy 'little white bull' crane. died aged 70 in 2016 apparently. made me feel rather sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35062 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 When West Allotment Celtic moved to Forest Hall to play their games they needed a small stand (requirement of being in the Northern League). So they’ve installed one directly behind one of the goals. It must be one of the worst places you could put it. It looks ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAC have been a bit nomadic of late - since NUFC priced them out of playing at Blue Flames. I know the stand you mean. North Shields need to improve for their impending move to the NPL. God knows how they'll pay for it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew anybody who bought him a pint for singing his song to be taking the piss maliciously, he was genuinely liked and loved the attention. sad he's gone, chuffed he's got his photo up in the percy, he deserves it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) Squeaky bum time for the Mackems. 3 games left, including vs 3rd placed Rotherham, and they can't afford to lose any of them Edited April 19, 2022 by Kid Dynamite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the stand you mean. North Shields need to improve for their impending move to the NPL. God knows how they'll pay for it all. NUFC didn’t price them out of staying at Blue Flames btw. They had the use of the pitch at a discounted price for a fixed period of time. When the 5 years (or whatever, was it longer they were there?) was up they made out like they’d been really hard done to. Instead of acknowledging they’d had a fantastic pitch and facility for next to nowt. Blue Flames didn’t bother countering their accusations because, what’s the point? North Shields will struggle, aye. The step up in what you have to pay players is quite a lot even from division 2 to 1 in the Northern League. They might get away with it in their first season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
