is that hidden skills @Andy Millne? My opinion on the game = first half we deserved to be getting beat - second half we got into the opposition penalty box but they their team blocked everything we attempted I would get rid of Joelinton as he loose the ball too often to the opposition

As I lived and grew up (1948 to 1969) behind The Oval, Coquetdale Place, during my youth I don't have many memories of the Mechanics team as we nearly always went to watch the football at the Bedlington Station Welfare park. What has stuck in my mind (but the memory is often clouded) is on the rare occasions I did go to watch the Mechanics, in the early 1960's, was as you turned the corner where the butchers shop was at the end of Beech Grove the entrance to the Mechanics ground was just a few paces along from the butchers. I can only remember one of the lads that played fro the Mechanics and that was Vince Allison, fullback?, who lived in Melrose Avenue at The Bank Top.Thanks @Malcolm Robinson@Malcolm Robinson do you know if the Barrington Colliery Institute name is Ok to be covered up or is there an East Bedlington council (I am assuming Barrington comes under East Bedlington Council) department that could be contacted to look into what @James has commented?
