Next Sunday the 15th of November is the "Shields open", this yearly event is the biggest day of the year for a few. Yet, there's been very little coverage in the way of the usual "banter" on the boards. Is everyone being a bit "pessimistic"? Just to make matters worse, I've looked at the long range forecast, and it's "Westerly's". Oh dear.:(
 
still it been westerlies it defo be alot colder or maybe the weather man might get it wrong and swells might happen but dont count any chickens
