  1. I see Boro are planning anew badge for the 26/27 season. I've said it before, but as someone getting into football in the mid 90s, I'd be much more bothered about the badge changing than the stadium potentially changing. I could possibly see a circular badge at some point, but I love the current badge, and given my age, it's obviously all I've known.
  2. Got a ticket in the away end, just by myself, getting the train from Hexham to Heworth, and then the Metro is just 4 stops after. Looking forward to it.
  3. Nice one, didn't think of that, I've never been past Newcastle on the Carlisle line, but seems there one every hour, so will definitely look into that if I can't get a lift in. Weather is looking a lot better than it was earlier in the week, and certainly a lot better than Monday (if I was going to go to Spenny vs Farsley instead).
  4. I'm kind of friends of friends with the Shields Chairman's son, so a chance I might actually get to be in Geoff's box in a group, but waiting to see if that is confirmed. Hopefully would be able to get a lift in as honestly, I'm pathetic at driving in built up areas, and get easily flustered. Annoying about the Metro as 24 mins door to door would have been as good as could be expected.
  5. Looks like the Metro is off all weekend, and there's a replacement bus service, but looks like a chew on (Jesmond to Heworth, and then Heworth to Bede). One of my Uni mates is from Jarrow, not seen him for like 5 months, but I'm working on getting him to go, saying he should go back to his roots this weekend, and can give me a lift, haha. Really interesting game though, both in great form, and the margins are so fine at this stage. Might be difficult for the loser to get in the playoffs, particularly if it was South Shields.
  6. I'm looking into it now. I'd rather Spenny won, and would prefer to be in the away end, but would be happy enough in the home end and watching as a neutral. I'm looking at the metro now. I'd probably park in Jesmond and then it's just like 11 stops and 24 mins on the Metro, which is fine, but then, will services be running on Good Friday, and will they be limited? Are you Spenny?
  7. Wales' first ever penalty shootout apparently.
  8. Wales about to go to pens on Sky Channel 134, S4C. It's in Welsh, but I have it on pause about 40 seconds, on mute, and BBC Sounds comms on. Pens coming up...
  9. They might have a point like...
  10. Stunning turnaround. From 4 points above the drop zone and 17 off the playoffs, to now being only out on goal difference. Banbury are still on 37 points 9 games later
  11. Spenny beat Scunthorpe 1-0 to make it 7 in a row, or 9 wins and a draw in their last 10 matches. South Shields win 3-0 to make it 4 wins in a row. They play each other on Friday and I'm so tempted to go, but will likely have to go by myself, and I'm a shit / nervy driver (coming from Hexham area), so would probably have to get the metro. I'ts MUCH easier driving to Spennymoor, so would have definitely gone if Spenny were at home. They play Farsley at home on Monday, so might go to that instead, but Shields vs Spenny is the much bigger match with the local edge and both in and around the playoffs.
  12. It would be 9 defeats in a row for them. Don't know if there's any context, but their record was OK about 6 weeks ago, and this seems to have come from nowhere. They were above Spennymoor about 6 weeks ago, and could now be 27 points behind, given the two teams huge change of fortunes out of nowhere.
  13. Obviously teams can have good and bad spells and rocket up and down the league, like Yeovil, Stockport, Oldham etc. but it's mad that this time 14 years ago we were in the same league as Scunthorpe and lost to them at the back end of 2009, yet, they are now in tier 6, playing the likes of Shields and currently losing to Spennymoor. They won't win the league this year, so the almost certainly the lottery of the 6 team playoffs for them.
  14. Spennymoor have just taken the lead!!!! Looking for a magnificent 7.
