Scoring for fun for WD&C.......in NW Counties......must be up front again
On a side note, I'm glad to see that they've finally sorted step 4 out for this season, allowing teams to progress from the Northern League on a regular basis. The ones which have come up such as Marske mostly seem to be doing quite well and getting fairly decent crowds - and on Saturday, Ashington (who I was slightly surprised to read used to be in the same league as us) got a bigger crowd than any team in the league above, and you've got Spennymoor Town now getting more than Darlington!. Hopefully this will strengthen the non-league game in the North of England going forward and allow more Northern League clubs to progress through to the National League in the future. Worth remembering Morpeth, who we played a few years ago, got the 4th biggest crowds in the NPL in 2019-20.
First year of the NPL! I was on that coach trip to Ashington. Happy days!
Took a while for the coach to find the ground. The overall impression of the place was that it was an absolute dump but still glorying in being the birthplace of the Charlton brothers.
It must have improved a heck of a lot since then, surely.
PS. It was over 50 years ago (1968, I think?) so they've had plenty of time to improve. 😉🤣🤣

Great stuff! Looking forward to giving it a listen.
