Jarrow Roofing FC

Down the lane from the Shack on the old bowling greens?

Boldon CW now Boldon CA play on the first enclosed one past the Shack, Jarrow play a little bit further down behind the Cricket Club.

I used to go to loads of Boldon CW home games as a nipper. Used to get crowds of between 10 and 20. Some of them only popped in for a few minutes between bowls matches.

Jarrow Roofing transformed the place; dug outs, covered seats and even a terraced stand. When I went, there was a rail round the pitch to lean on a grassy bank behind one of the goals.

Flashing the cash doesn't always work

Imagine feeling threatened by the likes of Jarrow Roofing man

Yep, very bizarre post that.

 

[Falconhoof]

On a serious note that's a huge club non league wise to go under

Bloke has done well to build it from nothing, regardless of people’s opinion of him.

Will he be selling the ground for housing

Jarrow Roofing was one man's pet project, so it was difficult to see how locals could get a sense of engagement with such a team, which was reflected in the crowds. To stay where they did for so long must have taken a huge amount of personal investment, both in time and finances. Don't know the bloke personally. Don't think they'll be missed by the Northern League as looking to lose teams anyway to get down to 20 in each league. Right next door to Boldon of the Wearside League who might pick up a few more spectators now.

Surprised it went under, it was just a one man project but you would of thought after all this time he would of tried to spread the cost around etc.

Will he be selling the ground for housing

[safcforever]

I bet the manager used to slate his team at full-time after a poor performance

He was building something

Sunday league teams are even paying players.

Nothing new about that.
I was getting a fiver on Sunday morning in 1984.
There's always been money in the local game.

I know of some really bang average players getting at least £30 a game. Saturday league some people on £100 a game

Sunderland residents/fans willing these other local clubs on to better things, likes of Shields and that. Fuck them man. Chance we could be playing the c*nts some day. Each time one of these rag tag lot gain a promotion and we get relegated we lose a handful of fans. Fuck them.
