Shame for the fans? What fans? 500 die-hards?

Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead has a population of around 200,000 yet home attendances are between 600 and 1,000. 879 v Chesterfield earlier this month. Hello!

So only 0.5% of the population can be arsed to go along. They’re all Mags anyway. Sooner pull on their black and white striped shirts and spend Saturday afternoon in the pub than pay to go to the International Stadium.

Proper Mickey Mouse club!

The refs and linesman didn’t see the hand of God goal or the England goal against Germany 2010. FIFA couldn’t allow them decisions to carry on it was getting embarrassing for them.

That England “goal” would have been given with goal line technology, which is totally different to VAR!

Wish we’d had VAR at Spennymoor!

This has been going on for well over a decade.

Everyone up here knows that the Heed will not cut it as an EFL club as long as they continue to play at the International Stadium.

Plans were drawn up donkeys years ago for a shiny new stadium on the old North Durham CC site but rather like our own Lincolnshire Lakes project nothing came of it.

Gateshead is still waiting for the new state of the art music venue to be built on the car park of the other state of the art music venue!

What’s more important sport or the arts?

Wonder what Pep would have said had he been manager of Truro?

We’re doing it for player welfare so here’s a few quid extra to stay schtum!

Success breeds success. Baby steps and all that.

Decent keepers with a bit of a crazy streak!

[Northumbiron]

The problem with this league has been the poor refereeing and some of the shitty grounds we’ve played at.

At the risk of sounding arrogant we’re used to a better standard.

A prime opportunity to showcase what Merseyside has to offer?

Well we’ve been one of the 24 turds floating within!

Can Jimmy polish us up for the playoffs?

[Northumbiron]

Play him at Gloucester!

[Northumbiron]

If we do go up this season then the job next term will be a much harder one.

Whoever is in charge.

[Northumbiron]

Blyth (or one of those teams around them) could end up being relegated with 50+ points!

Bloody tough luck on them.

[Northumbiron]

About time Kings Lynn did us a favour!

[Northumbiron]

It’s the gap between us and Chorley you need to worry about.

Did us a bit favour by losing today. Lowest we can finish now is fourth. I reckon one more win will see us secure second or third.

Just what I was wondering.

[Northumbiron]

Sounds familiar!

[Northumbiron]

We used to get fallow decades!

The 70s being one.

The old “other teams have sussed out how we play” has been around awhile at our club, recall Graham Alexander saying the same thing back when he was manager and fans were moaning about how our early season form had vanished.

Aye! Funny how we never suss out how other teams play.

Welcome to the new Dickensian age. Child poverty, squalor, cholera epidemics!

Not a porn film title then?

[Northumbiron]

I don’t think any of the other 23 clubs expected Tamworth to over achieve.

We’ve had some appalling luck and some poor refereeing decisions to add to lacklustre performances. So I’m not sure that it is solely down to underachievement.

But, yes! Jimmy has been found out at this level. Would we have won the league with a more experienced manager at the helm?

We’ll never know!

Joe Ledley? Bloody Hell, he must be pushing 40 by now!

It is. But £7,000 is too high. Unless there are other benefits Brassy hasn’t mentioned.

[Northumbiron]

Are you Micah Richards?

“Wilson has had game time though and hasn’t really delivered”.

You could say that about 75% of the squad!
