I honestly can't see the club lasting the entire season. The Socials have gone to Pot with someone clearly in charge of them posting the video calls etc for all to hear and see. If durham lasted the season and for odly enough seem to keep going now then never say never. Brandon cant be worse than durham surely

Brandon cant be worse than durham surely Getting ready for the pelters but would Brandon and Willington be better off merging. Very close to each other. Both clubs having a torrid time . If they merged and played at Willington sorted a club name to suit both clubs I think they would prosper in the long run . Between the 2 of them they have a good catchment area in and around both towns.

Willington get people watching, they have a club house that gets used and a committee that cares..Brandon is a shit show. The fella running the clubhouse only cares about his own part, the chairman I wouldn't trust to make me a ham sandwich properly never mind run a club. The lads they have got in on and off the field are all deluded

Was just a thought. out of the 2 of them Willington are def the better of the 2 just a shame 2 clubs in the same area struggling that it could be possible to get one of them back on track . Especially if Willington do enough to stay in the top division

Especially if Willington do enough to stay in the top division we did it at Birtley when St Joseph’s merged with Birtley town who were relegated . We both finished off the season and got to work on getting the club back up. It worked for us and to be honest the 2 seasons spent in the alliance gave us time to get things right on and off the pitch

I think willington will be ok in the long run due to the lads on the committee and the set up they have. Brandon are screwed no one wants to go, the match day experience or whatever you want to call it is the worst in the league. They should of never appointed Pickering , durrant or any of them.

Its just like Durham all over again.
Social media is locked so people cant comment. You have the ex manager, Who doesn't care about Brandon, or so he says, Pretending to be Brandon on Instagram and commenting about them every 5 minutes. A manager who is well out of his depth. A Committee that from the outside look to have lost interest. Crowds that a half decent Sunday league teams could pull in. Players who i have no doubt are trying but are not good enough for the northern league.
They will either go down and get beat every week from now till the end f the season or fold. I would probably guess the latter and that would be a real shame

I would probably guess the latter and that would be a real shame Yeah i had a browse on there twitter (x) yesterday and seemed more posts about sponsors than actual football and bizare a sports page has the comment option greyed out. They clearly dont want folk to comment, truth hurts and all that. Its a shame to see the club ran into the deck but if local proper football folk had come in then maybe it would not be like that, not as if they are homeless like durham

And the local proper football people don't want to know and never have.all about what the football club can do for the community but never what that community can do for the football club.The clubhouse was once thriving and was the place to go years ago,it's hardly open anymore.no hope at all now unless a local comes in with a decent budget to get the place going.locals have ran the club in the past but were never supported,so these people that are not from that village have little chance.sad days but it's been coming for years and along with Esh and Washington they've been thr perennial strugglers.and whoever said it was Durham revisited then youre probably correct.Wouldnt surprise me if Durham tried to get the ground.

Yeah you right brandon have struggled for years, well apart from last season. Wonder if a merger with durham was ever talked about with durham. Found it bizare durham agreed a groundshare there once and had a u-turn and went to willington

Haven’t a clue why but Brandon have blocked me on their twitter account along with quite a few others so I’m told. Just reinforces the view it’s another Durham like situation starting up. Obviously another bloke in the same mould as Mr Tanner wouldn’t be surprised if he raises his head at Brandon sometime soon
