sod the mags, stop off a few miles up the cost and watch the entertaining table topping football that Blyth are playing, you can bowl up and pay at the gate and get to see a successful cohesive team playing in stripes.
outside of the league, the North East is in pretty good health again Gateshead still holding down a conference spot and showing their current status by sacking an ex league manager for having fallen to only mid table. Spartans and Darlo doing very well and both in with a realistic shout of promotion back to conference level. Spennymoor making their way back up after a disastrous owner took them to oblivion.
Blyth are almost a parallel of Leicester over the last 18 months, this time last year languishing near the bottom and a long way away from their final position, our run to the 3rd round of the cup sparked a magnificent 2nd half of the season and we missed the lay offs by a couple of points.
