What ?? Doing your brains in then taking a few weeks off. Strange post this one. North shields done the opposite to what most clubs do if your looking at it that way by not bothering to upgrade there ground when it needed upgrading. Then they bluffed the Northern league. Think you might want to rephrase your original post. Should still be in the NPE. Did better there than a lot of the old northern league teams are this season. They didn't do better than any old northern league teams as you put it. If they did theý wouldn't be back in the Northern league and asking for weeks off because they'd spunked there dough. Paying players stupid money was more important than upgrading the ground. Hope that clears that one up for you.

Yes, on the pitch they should have stayed up, but the rules were pretty specific. On the pitch they were effectively financially doping and over-achieving as a consequence of not spending the money on ground improvements. How many more dubious fundraisers will they have before any of the actual infrastructure work gets done?

If they did theý wouldn't be back in the Northern league Relegated for finishing 7th. Made the step up look easy. So aye, better than most the old northern league teams. We'll be back.

It’s pretty easy to do well if you just forget about the £50k you need to meet the criteria and put it towards a playing budget! More to running a club than just on the pitch, so no you didn’t do better as you got relegated!

They were not relegated due to having one seat too short to meet ground grading, 1 sq metre too short of hard standing. They had not even done a jot towards ground upgrades.

If you have the money to have a league winning budget then you have the money to meet basic ground grading standards.

The league winning budget is often at the expense of other things, such as ground improvements. Depends on how it’s all managed, the successful and sustainable clubs can usually manage to do a bit of both, but not at the expense of one or the other. Not easy!

It’s definitely not easy, but you can’t say it’s been a success if you get relegated for neglecting one part of it.
