Your usual fair appraisal, sinkov, and I hope that you pick up again and have a good season.
Ashington play Redcar at home tonight and I shall be there early because you can get curry or chilli and a pint for a fiver before, during or after the game. My mate and I are partaking before the game so it will be a good night, season ticket was 30 quid for 19 home games!
This will be our 9th league match and we are currently 5th in the table and just 5 points off the top. Biggest problem is that they have not been able to field a settled team up to now because of involvement with cricket by Ben Harmison and another lad. It has meant that they have only lost 1 game but have drawn 4 and won 3. Mind you, there have been 28 goals scored in the 8 matches and there promises to be more tonight!
Still early days yet but it should be a steady season.

Did you go to Ashington v Redcar yesterday Supersub? Redcar are running away with the league this season. I stopped in Redcar many years ago when the British Professioal Darts Finals were being held there.

I was at Ashington yesterday and the Redcar supporters were chanting "we want ten" as they hammered the Colliers 8-0. A sad debut for an 18 year old keeper who is on a short term loan from Sunderland and replaced our regular keeper yesterday because the club have received an incentive from Sunderland to play him! He tried to play out grom the back which cost us the first two goals in the first 7 minutes and I am still trying to work out what he was doing with the third goal because he was walkabout in the area with four defenders closing down one attacker! He had not yet trained with the team and the first quarter of an hour was a horrible start. THe sad thing also is that we no longer have a goalkeeping coach because the club got rid of him, along with the manager and his assistant who resigned a couple of weeks ago.
They have scored over 100 goals this season and have a goal difference of 75 and are 10 points ahead of the second place team with 2 games in hand. Very good side who work hard the whole game.

Ashington, on the other hand, are in 19th place and have the same number of points as the two clubs above them and the relegation zone ---sadly our goal difference is now -31 and the worst in the Division.
