Sizes 28 to 40 waist . £ 2-25 For CLARKES - 45 Frederick Street GATESHEAD United , who accumulated riches in this town with the sale of Si monside Hall for a figure in the region of £ 269,000 , did not lend any verbal support to South Shields Mariners ' case for member ship of the Wearside League last night , writes Dick Kirkup . They were represented by chairman Mr Jack Leigh ton , director Mr Sam Blackstone and general manager Charlie Mr Thomas . I felt that some one would give support in vew of the fact that their move to Gateshead had been financed by the sale of Simonside Hall which in the first place , had been bought for £ 10,000 by hard working men of South Shields . South Shields Mariners bid GATESHEAD for Wearside League place fails UNITED REMAINED SILENT Mr Thomas , a member of the FA Council and a man who holds a host of ap pointments with numerous leagues and associations in the North - East , could have added considerable weight to the applicaton with a few words , particularly in view of his long and dedi cated association with foot ball in the town and also the Wearside League . But the only verbal support he gave was for the appli caton of Whckham . It was sad to see men from South Shields remaining silent as their town's new club was rejected by a league that their town has supported with credit for many years . I was left wondering if their silence reflected their con cern over a possible weekly ticket war in the town . For Gateshead United are still selling their former South Shields AFC ticket in the town with South Shields Mari : ners in direct opposition with theirs . The new Mari : ners scheme is growing steadily and one would assume that the more tickets the Mariners sell the greater will be the loss to Gateshead United . If there were no South Shields Mariners , Gateshead United's problems would be solved . But whatever the reason for Gateshead United's silence last night , they will be re membered for it . I understand that the move to request Gateshead United to leave behind the that originally £ 10,000 bought Simonside Hall will be renewed when South Shields Mariners gain membership of a league . " We have worked hard to get the new club and the weekly ticket scheme going , and we will fight on . I can tell all soccer followers in the town that we WILL be in a league next season . We may be back at square one , but we will fight our way up just like old South Shields Adelaide did . They started from nothing , and their spirit will live on . There's a lot of fight left in us - and we'll win through . " By DICK KIRKUP THE NEW South Shields Mariners Football Club failed last night in its bid for membership of the Wearside League ... but they will battle on until they DO find a league . Club chairman Mr Martin Ford and his officials were clearly deeply disappointed after their appli cation had been rejected at the Wearside League's annual meeting in Sun derland Accident and Orthopaedic Hospital last night , but Mr Ford stated : " This is dis very appointing . It is a blow , there's no getting away from that , but we are all deter mined to overcome it . It is a setback , but football will not die here in South Shields . Manager Bobby Elwell said : " I can hardly believe that the Wearside League have done this to South Shields . But I'm not packing in . I'm more determined than ever to get a team for the town what ever league we play in . " HEATED MEETING Last night's meeting got off to a heated start with chairman Mr Bob Wood having to repeatedly bring the meeting to order .
