"If I'd been able to put the collection together in one go, say over two years, we'd have had a special team, most wouldn't stay. One or two glory seasons and they were off. To them, the north-east was too far out. They wanted to be with the big hitters"
- Bryan Robson
About this Quote
This quote by Bryan Robson speaks with the trouble of maintaining a successful team in the north-east of England. Robson suggests that if he had had the ability to create a group over 2 years, they would have had a special team. Nevertheless, he keeps in mind that the majority of the gamers wouldn't stay for more than a couple of glory seasons, as they wanted to be with the bigger teams. This recommends that the north-east was not viewed as a desirable place to play football, which gamers were more likely to move to teams in more popular locations. Robson's quote highlights the trouble of keeping an effective group in the north-east, and the need for groups in the location to work hard to draw in and keep players.
