Surely it's screwing Gateshead up as much as us? Their pitch is crap and it's annoying but I really don't get the conspiracy theories.

It'll be off tonight and the Nuneaton game will be postponed. Then the game against Gateshead on Saturday will be postponed again meaning we could have played Nuneaton all along.

So basically Gateshead are calling the shots here? They can more or less dictate what happens to our important league games in the coming weeks, surely after 2 attempts the match should be played at a neutral ground.


Blyth Spartens just down the road seem to get all (most) of their games played. Move it there.

I don't blame Gateshead. They have a crap pitch yes, but it's the officials who decide whether the game goes ahead or not and i don't imagine Gateshead are any more pleased about it than we are. Their only advantage is being at home and not having to travel.

Also, didn't we play them at a neutral ground in the past and if so, when will the powers that be decide to go that route?

Surely after the debacle of last year's fixture pile up from Gateshead, the league could pressure them into hiring a footballing neighbour's league standard pitch to play this game without any further delays from the domino effect each week.

Blyth could probably use some more cash as an add on to their excellent cup run??

This is as much our own undoing! If we had beaten them at BP then there wouldn't be a problem. I'm not that bothered about the FAT but you must make the most of the home advantage for the first game.

Why can't we play both on Saturday? Send a second string team to Gateshead without a full subs bench if necessary and send the first team to Nuneaton.

Because as stated Paul Hurst takes the competition seriously and wants to win it!! Once again though the fans suffer, especially those who like to get to every game as I used to. Crazy situation on Saturday where we could be at 3 different grounds

They've had a long time to get their shambles of a pitch sorted. Last year we had mild winter so they got kind of lucky, the season before was a total joke and it looks like this seasons going the same way too.

But this is not the first time this has happened at Gateshead though is it? I would be interested to know what Gateshead do to try and rectify the problem, other teams do it, what if they can't get this problem sorted for the next 3-4 weeks then what?


Grimsby and proud!
