Stonking win for them tonight, great time to be a Gateshead supporter. Bit of a "pinch me" end of season flourish. Really chuffed for them. Wish we could have a bit of that.
Be interesting to see how the current form team Gateshead go on at Eastleigh tonight. I'm expecting them to win and go above us, they deserve to but as we know, it's a funny old game.
No there was nowhere near the money. I think the amount of money has spoiled football, for me at least.
It's just a thought I had at the time. We were a very popular club, always on TV and in the news.
When we got promotion to Div1 and then become founder members of the Prem, I would have liked the owners to have sold the club
to someone with big money. Maybe then we could have a few more years of the good life. I would imagine that the club would have
been quite saleable at that time.
Not arguing either way here but aren't the players insured ? What does that cover ? Could wages be covered ? I'm sure the league would have looked into this. (well you would hope they have)
Remember Reggie playing for us. He would run up and down the right wing all afternoon. I've seen him take the ball right upto the opponents penalty area, bring it almost back to ours and then take it back again before getting a cross in. Quite a player.
Wish people wouldn't make rash statements like that. I hope that if we lose you will handcuff yourself to the crossbar having placed a cat'o'nine tails at your side so you can be whipped to the bone. We'll also need a tub of salt and a flagon of lemon juice to rub into your wounds.
It could have been like that for us. Imagine Frank taking ownership when Shez came in and gave us that lift. Another four or five good new players then and who knows what ? Sorry for dreaming.
