Signed 2 young lads from South Korea and Mexican, via American colleges and South Shields, poor lads hope they don't get lost in Bishop They will be fine in Bish, the worry is if they wander too far and end up in 'West', or worse still, Shildon!!

The pulling power of Bishop has gone worldwide. Understandable considering the sleeping giant has awoken. I can see the likes of ex pros want to play for the mighty blues !!

I know it’s been mentioned by myself and others whether an FA Vase run will affect the club’s chances of winning the league. I also have seen people mention that Newton Aycliffe came on the outside and were promoted. Looking at it this season and this is just my opinion, but I think the top two are a level above everyone else and I’d place a bet that they’re both promoted this season and will deserve it. The only club that I think could change this prediction, is Heaton Stan. But I think they’ll follow the top 2 up next season.

Long way to go, nothing was ever won or lost in November, no-one has played half of their league games yet. We’re now into the realms of heavy pitches, injuries and suspensions etc. which will all affect every team. League table means nowt till January.

Isnt tindale closer to west than bishop No it closer to bishop. 😳 Would say Tindale Crescent is part of Bishop Auckland. St Helens is no man's land and then West Auckland = pretty irrelevant.

The halfway point is only 4 games away for most clubs. January isn’t far off and with only 38 game seasons the pitches aren’t going to be as bad as they used to be. Plus the end of the season is a lot earlier than in the past. It’s just my opinion, but I still stand by my prediction that the top 2 will go up.

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to predict that the top two who are 8 and 9 points clear will get promoted!

Last season Whitby and Bishop were looking red hot favourites to go up, both faltered and ran out of steam. It’s just an opinion, but I feel the top 2 seem to have better balanced squads. Shildon wants to bounce straight back up and Bishop Auckland have finally found what they’ve been looking for, for years

Who knows what will happen at end of season, but I do know predicting 1 and 2 now with a clear cushion isn’t hard to do.

The picture is sometimes skewed until all the clubs have played their games in hand. But I still stand by my statement. I don’t support either of these clubs and just wanted to open it up for discussion. Nothing else!

I heard a rumour at the game on Saturday that Aaron Brown was signing for Bishop’s but haven’t seen anything official from the club yet.
