    What a great weekend. The people at Boldon couldn't have been more welcoming. The Chairman , pictured with us in the changing room , manager ( Dave Crombie pictured on the right in in front of the Museum board ) and other staff opened up the ground for us. It is a link we intend to continue. You can follow Boldon on Twitter and Facebook.

    They had a great 4-0 home win on Saturday against Blyth Town.
    It would be nice if we could play a pre-season game up there.
    500 attending would be fantastic for their coffers.

    This is brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
    Is there anything else we can do to help them?
    Do they have a membership? I’d be happy to pay an annual membership to help.
    We intend to make it a long term link. Any ideas would be welcome. It would be great if we could play a pre season friendly there or help them in some other way. One of the options we were thinking of was sponsoring the goalkeepers kit but they already had a sponsor for this season.

    If the goalkeeper is already sponsored, have you thought about the manager?

    Or what about sponsoring the goal posts?

    Wow, I would have come with you if I’d known about this. What a great thing to do @SE7toSG3 !
    That’s why you didn’t know about this…

    :-) 

    Jokes aside, I’m sure they’d be quite a few interested in taking in a visit / game one time we are up the North East 
    We can pop in there next season , when we play Hartlepool

    Well we've lost a game today but spare a thought for our friends at Boldon. Storm Arwen has caused a lot of damage at the ground. Clubs at this level rely on the hard work of a few volunteers to survive , so devastating for them.

    Was Sam always a goalkeeper for Boldon as he fancied himself as an outfield player. I'm fairly sure he had a trial with someone at wing half.
    Possibly Reading? 



    Edit

    After school, Sam Bartram became a miner and played as either centre-forward or wing-half in non-league football in the North-East of England. As a teenager he had an unsuccessful trial with Reading. When his local village club Boldon Villa were without a goalkeeper for a cup final in 1934, Bartram took over in goal. A scout from Charlton Athletic, Anthony Seed, was watching the game and Bartram played so well that Seed recommended him to his brother Jimmy Seed, the Charlton Secretary Manager. Anthony Seed was Charlton's chief scout in the north east.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this thread.  Thanks everybody.  So much I didn’t know about my boyhood hero.

    It's that time of year again when we renew our sponsorship of the Sam Bartram stand at Boldon.

    Anyone who wants to help out please let us know and we'll give you our bank details.

    The lengths those boys go to in order to serve the history of this club! Well done and praying for a Jackson performance across the side today.
    I think you mean “get served at the bar”.

    How much does it cost to be the main sponsor of a tier six team? It cannot be much.

    No idea, a few 1000 I guess, probably less

    I’d guess 10k
    Probably wrong though.

    As an update £775 was raised and sent to Boldon to help with ground repairs.

    Today at The Valley we welcomed some of the Bartram family. Still living in Boldon , they did not know the club had a Museum until hearing of The Museum's sponsorship of The Sam Bartram stand. They spent the day at The Valley and the last few hours in The Museum. We were able to show them our extensive Sam Bartram collection. More to follow ......
