Good luck to Shields in today's FA Vase Final. Another NE Club hopefully keeping up the region's record in the competition. Cracking support with over 13,000 tickets sold.
The success in this competition over the years really shows how much the northern league ****ed up when the original pyramid was being worked out. They could easily have been on a par with the Northern Premier and Isthmean, etc. So many great clubs effectively barred from progressing up the pyramid now cos of finance and geography.
