Oh aye, visiting Bedlington without informing us eh Pete?

A see your back and its good to hear from you. If I had know you were there we could have had a pint of guiness, hows colonel Knoweldge do you still see him?

Hope you get elected Malcolm, Bedlington needs someone to fight their corner.

I would happily accept Nigel as Prime Minister, his negotiating skills would be superb and we would not have to wait for two years to get out of the EU club

If anyone is considering giving up smoking and trying the e cig there is a fantastic e cig shop on Bedlington Front Street west. I do not know the name of the shop (never looked) but highly recommend it.

The guy behind the counter is very knowledgeable and gives good advice.

I was in Bedlington last week and very impressed on how the Top End looked

 Now stands at 9,765

The subtle difference Drunker doesn't acknowledge is that US voters have an actual choice as to who governs them.  The Brussels apparatchiks were never too keen on referenda, but now they are totally outlawed by diktat, because they are very unlikely to deliver the "correct" result.  We are out not a moment too soon!

200% agree, we should never have joined the politicos eliete club. Never wanted it in the 70s and dam well dont want it now, we need to build a wall, well only joking about the wall.

Are they Bedlington mechanics? Never seen them play in a strip like that 50s/60s unless it is before that time.

Is Mr Rich (Lord Bedlington) still involved with the club? Do'nt hear his name much these days.

Probably worth noting that you should register with the TPS (telephone Preference Service), you can also add mobile phones to this which drastically reduced phone calls getting through to my mobile.

 

You are right Brett, registering with TPS does make a big difference but it does not stop my good friend Sam from Windows technical dept calling me every day and offering to remove the virus that I have on my computer. Could be Sam's is in a different country and TPS does not seem able to stop these type of calls. But as I said I do agree with you that it is worth reistering with TPS as it has minmised the number cold calls that I get.

Signed it and agree with you on the BBC bit but its not just the BBC, local media seem to be anti Trump and anti brexit.

Plenty beer and a barbi then Brian

Hi Pete,

  I can also remember Danny Peary, but am struggling to recall Matty Fernoney. But thanks for your continued contribution.

Could be that I have mispronounced the second name and I would think that I have definitly mis spelt it. Very late fifties/sixties. Something in the back of my mind tells me that he could have been of Italian origin.

Happy Australia Day Brian. Is it a national holiday Brian?

Two more names come to mind, one was Danny Peary, If I remeber correctly he left Bedlington Mechanics to play for Crook Town he was there when Crook Town won the FA Amature Cup final at Wembly and returned to Bedlington shortly afterwards. Another name, although I am not sure how to speel it, was Matty Fernoney ( Fernoney, probably spelt incorrectly) Late fifties early sixties.

Thanks 4G for the correct spelling of Millne

 

Thanks Pete for your recollection. The name Bob Fulbeck rings a bell, big centre half. I think he was from Ashington as I remember he would be picked up on our way to Amble or Alnwick by Dixon Jordan who was the main driver for his own coach company on away match days.

Someone else on Face book has recalled the name Heslop.

My brother remembers a match at The Station Welfare against Newcastle United Reserves (or A team) in a County Cup Semi Final, where he went straight after school and he thinks that Frank Clark was playing for the black & whites

 

Yes Jordans coaches did the away matches I remeber going to alot of them. Bob Fulbeck may have come from Bebside or Cowpen, not sure. I think Heslops name was Ronnie.

I do'nt remeber a game between Newcastle united reserves but Newcastle United A team had a team in the same leauge as Bedlington Mechanics, Northern Alliance

I used to watch the Bedlington Mechanics Play when they played at Millne Park, they where defenitly there in the fifties but I remember watching them play a cup game against Ashington and I was still at school then. I left school in 1961. The cup game against Ashington was played at the Station Park next to the Grammer school, so they had moved from Millne Park by that date. The reason I remeber that game so well was becasuse one of the teachers at school was from Ashington and I remember telling him that Bedlington would win it easily, sadly Ashington won.

I think one of the players was called heslop who was a local lad. Bedlington had a big centre half at that time his name was Bob Fulbeck but I do not think he was a Bedlington lad.

Bedlington Mechanics also played Blackpool Mechanics in a pre season friendly this was somtime in the fifties can't remeber what year but I remeber watching it.
