It does make you wonder where the prize money from vase win went That would amount to approx £40~£50k Granted there are expenses to meet But surely some of this should have been put away for a rain day fund ? However , from what I’ve heard I believe the senior NL teams in area , Blyth , Spennymoor and South Shields all owe horrific amounts - most likely to board members Football is just not sane I’m fairly close hockey and cricket clubs - we’ve always kept a close eye on finances Ie the clubs owe amounts to board members, every single football club in the country from the Dog and Duck to Man City owe someone money. I'm currently working with a number of professional football clubs doing some bits and pieces and ill speak people at them clubs and they know football at all levels in every country in world isn't realistic, but to be successful in the sport you need to spend money

It can also be being sustainable, reaching out to the local community and being imbedded within that community. Having a club that caters for 7 year olds up to veterans and everything in between, and not forgetting a female section. With a long term vision and accepting that your club has a natural ceiling. Spending sh1t loads on winning leagues and FA Vase’s is great, but it generally ends up in boom and bust when the money runs out. There’s been mention about the negative effects of automatic promotion in the area. But I wonder what would have happened all those years ago, when the NPL had a single division and the NL was offered the opportunity to be its direct feeder league. Where would all the top clubs in the area be now. Instead of watching the decline of the league, it would have sat at step 3 and clubs like Bishop and the original Spenny would have had local derbies instead of trying to do it on their own and struggling financially.

Thats why there is a massive imbalance between North and south to this day.

Yeah as mutt says i think the offer was for the northern league to be at step 2 which they delcined. Was there a offer made to be a northern premier feeder, dont recall this

A really good appointment under the circumstances as he's very popular with the fans & it'll lift a bit of the doom & gloom... for now. A lot of the lads who recently left Blue Star have ties with both Shields & Bry Smith, could potentially see some of them doing their old club a favour/playing on favourable terms until the end of the season? Unsure how many have already found clubs if I'm being honest.

From what I have heard at least 8 ex Blue Star players will be signing possibly today. Some very good players as well, so they will be competitive for the rest of the season
