Newcastle University at the Jack Clark Ground tomorrow ( 2.15 ) - and the plan was for Parker to play for Crook in midweek matches and still play for Shields Saturdays .

However , Shields manager Bobby Elwell told Parker that any player who signs for Shields plays for Shields alone .
Says Elwell : " It could lead to chaos if we started allowing our players to play for other clubs in midweek . I only have a playing staff of 13 and we could run into
trouble if players got injured playing for other clubs .
" Shildon also tried to sign Parker , while Steve Hunter could have gone to Consett and Ray Young to Wallsend , but I have laid down the ruling that my players must play for Shields only .

" I put this to Parker and he said that he is staying with us . I must put my club first , and I think the players realise the problems that could arise through injuries . It would be a pity to ruin all
we have worked for by being without players who have been injured playing for somebody else . " Tomorrow Shields return to Northern Alliance duty after their successful sortie in the FA Vase , and they face a side over whom they completed a 6-0 ( home ) and 3-0 ( away ) double last season . At the moment Shields are second top in the table two points below Percy Main but with two games in hand and that situation should remain unchanged tomorrow .
Shields should beat the University they have played only six games so far , having won three and lost three while Perey Main should make home advantage count against sixth bottom Greenwells who have seven points from 12 games .

Says Elwell : " We should win , but everybody raises their game against us , and this will be the case tomorrow . I would also like to give centre forward Jimmy Robson some credit for the way he is playing .
Last season he was our main finisher , scoring 31 goals , but this season , while he has scored 11 goals , he is playing more involved game for
a me .
" It means that Parker is getting more goals , but Robson is getting through a lot of work . The two of them are playing well together , " The Shields line - up will be :.

Patterson ; McDonald , Moon , Compton , Rutherford ; Madden , Young , Graham ; Hunter , Robson , Parker . Sub . Carr .
Note : Shields have received several inquiries from supporters who would like to travel to next week's away game against Workington Reserves . The club is running a coach an anyone interested can book with club officials at tomorrow's match .
Victory here would put Jarrow through to the last 32 of the competition out of a total entry of 261 and give them the chance of a plum tie in round five against one of the big boys .
Grimsby , in fact , represent the most distant opposition Jarrow could have met in this round , and no doubt Jarrow will hope to catch their visitors travel - weary after their 160 mile journey . Jarrow , who include two county players in Phil Porthouse and Barry Tyerman , probably be represented by the following team :
Dixon ; Lindsley , Heron ; McCaffery , Porthouse , Tyerman ; Baker , Mitchell , Newman , Vinton , McArdle . Sub . ( from ) : Thomson , Rigg , Convery , Leonard , Midwood and Cullen .
