Being dragged into the bottom end, poor results against teams in and around them at the bottom.
I cant understand why, apparently a big budget, some very good players there and, there were some good noises made when the latest investor came in?
Surely they should be doing so much better?

Can't really comment on the latest investor didn't know they'd had one. The ground is the killer for them it's soulless got absolutely nowt about it. It must be just and I mean just northern league standard. There's no way northern league teams should be turning up to a ground waiting for kids teams to come off 45 minutes before kick off then have to push portable goals off. I'm sorry like but that isn't northern league football. Must be a decent investor anyway for only getting fiftys through the gate and what they pay for the ground.

An excellent point, I totally agree.

The Ford Quarry Complex is a charity organisation, administered by Durham FA, West End with their agreement to use these facilities, will pay for use age, given set days to play games, a Saturday and a midweek day, plus training session. They will be restricted for these reasons in what they can do to raise funds, naming the ground, advertising boards will have to be approved and the charity to benefit, this may only be applicable when hosting a game to advertise.

One of the west end lads told me the don’t pay for use of the facility due to the fact they paid for the seats , turnstiles and dug outs . He also said it was a big mistake going there.

They could have had the old Jarrow roofing ground. Cheap as chips for a season and they could have made a few quid from a bait hut. Bit out of town for these boys and the place resembles a shithole but anything is better than these hubs.

Who even owns it? Comes under Boldon CA sports club who are supposed to look after it but they've got zero interest in it proven by the state of the place.

Who even owns it? When I was at a Boldon game last year I took a peek at it over the fence, surprisingly good condition and the pitch seemed well maintained. On the topic of abandoned grounds, Sunderland Nissan's old place is still in good nick as well isn't it?
