Cracking win always capable of this type of result well done lads. UTA
Great result, well done boys, let’s go on and up after this brilliant result.
Great result and by all accounts a good performance, pleased for the lads & the management who have taken a bit of undeserved stick recently. Well done MJ & Kyle on your goals keep listening and learning. Proves it’s a squad game & not just the starting 11.
Just watched the highlights, great win, hell of an equaliser. Is South Shields yet another case of a rich bloke chucking money into a run of the mill club that doesn’t have the facilities to go as far as the rich bloke would like? I see on their website that they have plans to redevelop one side of the ground but as it stands the ground would never get into the Conference, perhaps not even the Conference North. Or am I just jealous because we have the ground and no rich bloke…? And no 2,000 people watching…?
