We should always be careful of laughing at, or mocking, other clubs in difficulties as you never know when, for example, a chairman gets bored, calls in his loans and boom! your the next financial basket case.


No problem for us, we only have benign loans  


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

What BS?.  I don't get who you are having a go at here, me  or Andy.  Gateshead as a club has accepted the League's punishment without argument. The new owners have settled the debts, secured a lease on a ground and sorted all the misdemeanors you mention.  The previous owners mismanaged the club and mistreated the NL and the club has been relegated because of that.  Of course the fans suffer as they see a club they love being torn apart and a good season ending in relegation.

As I pointed out above there are distinct differences between the situations that Darlo and Gateshead were in, hence the diffence in punishments which was the source of Andy's displeasure.

I do stand by my final point though; that all clubs, even GTFC, rely on monies not generated through the turnstiles and on matchday, and should that alternative income be lost then they too would have financial difficulties that may result in some form of punishment from whatever league they are in.  We should always be careful of laughing at, or mocking, other clubs in difficulties as you never know when, for example, a chairman gets bored, calls in his loans and boom! your the next financial basket case.


And all those years Gateshead were overspending the fans were protesting? Yeah like intercourse they were. That’s the BS I’m talking about.

All clubs rely on some extra commercial cash. For most outside the Premiership (and maybe the Championship) it’s proportional to the fan base. Except for FGR who have a very generous sponsorship deal. What deal have Gateshead got that allows them to spend beyond their meagre fanbase allows?

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,

PS if you can’t work out whether or m having a go at you or Andy, it shows how little you understand.

For the avoidance of doubt: its you not him!!

I think a lot of Grimsby fans are still bitter about Gateshead because they had the gall to beat us in a game of football 5 years ago, but it doesn’t take away the fact these decisions are negatively affecting a football club which have paid what they owed after finishing in the top ten with one of the smallest budgets in the league. Gateshead’s spending in 2019 is minuscule compared to our Conference years, the money problems were mostly due to the owner, who has now sold on. Wish them luck for next season, certainly hope they finish above Darlington!

Have they though? Have they really out punched their weight all these years through good management?

Maybe not ‘all these years’, but they absolutely did in 18-19, which is the season relevant. Any decent player was sold on and replaced with youngsters and they still challenged for playoffs. In 2013 they were spending way too much but that’s not been the case for a few years now.
