Welcome to the new online home of Blyth Spartans AFC. Our recent success in the FA Cup has demonstrated the level of support that the club has throughout the world and therefore a strong and up to date online presence is essential in keeping the fans abreast of the latest developments within the club. The club was also keen to combine all of the respective strands of the club (the…
The Social club are holding an event to raise much needed funds fro the Special Baby Unit at Wansbeck Hospitial on 24th April – 7pm. Johnny Scott will be the entertainer. Tickets cost £4 and are available from the Social Club.
The points are accumulating but are they coming thick and fast enough to stave off relegation for Blyth Spartans? Another point from the fourth game in succession, this time at Tamworth on Saturday, can be interpreted as solid form or, alternatively, too little to late. Blyth manager Harry Dunn was appropriately ambiguous in his post match thoughts. “Bearing mind Tamworth are in second place in the League and we’re second…
According to the Spennymor Town website their midfielder Gareth Waite has turned down a move to Blyth.
Blyth Spartans have reduced the price of next Tuesday’s Blue Square North home league game against Alfreton Town (10 March 2009) to £5 for adults, £2 concessions, £1 for under-16s and free for under-10s, if accompanied by an adult. The Club recognises the financial burden to its supporters caused of the amount of “concentrated” home matches due to the recent poor weather and the current economic climate, .
Former Blyth Spartans players Anthony Hume and Alex White have signed for Spennymoor and Tow Law respectively.
Although a request was made by Blue Star to have Wednesday’s Quarter Final game postponed because of fixture congestion Blyth Spartans can confirm that the NFA have today ruled that the game must go ahead as planned. The Spartans have their own fixture congestion as a result of FA Cup success and bad weather and will be playing at least two matches per week until the end of the season.
CHRIS McCABE – FEBRUARY 2009 The month of February saw the Spartans play only three matches, the first was a performance against Burscough, which manager Harry Dunn described as ’embarrassing’ and ‘disgraceful’. The two remaining games saw the Spartans roll up their sleeves and at least try and complete in the games. This was helped in no small part by the return of midfield talisman Chris McCabe who put in…
Suggestions that Harry Dunn’s Blyth Spartans team had given up hard work for Lent were set to one side in Saturday’s game at Alfreton Town. The Spartans recent points-fast, and Dunn’s own public criticisms, seemed to galvanize his penitent team into producing a performance of considerable diligence. A draw against the League’s form team was both very welcome in terms of Blyth’s precarious position in the table and in the…
It was never likely to be a game characterised by stylish play or full of individual brilliance – and it certainly wasn’t. Blyth lost two nil against Burscough at the weekend with the Spartans lying third off bottom of the Blue Square North and their visitors one place below them. A scrappy affair was expected and that indeed came to fruition. Actually ’scrappy’ makes it sound better than it was….
