Blyth Spartans 0 Gloucester City 2 (Match Reaction)

10th April 2011

By Saturday lunchtime Blyth Spartans’ Croft Park was doused by an soft early summer sun and the ensuing match against Gloucester City was equally soporific, consumed as it was by an end of season ambience which, seemingly, had players and spectators if not already on the beach then certainly checking in at the airport. But even the long haul north from the south west didn’t have Gloucester dreaming of holidays…

Blyth Spartans 0 Gloucester City 2 (Match Report)

At a sun drenched Croft Park somebody should have reminded the Blyth Spartans players that they’re not on their holidays just yet as Gloucester City took full advantage of a lacklustre display from the hosts. Spartans could only name three substitutes out of a possible five for this Blue Square Bet North fixture, and the end of the season can surely not arrive quickly enough for manager Mick Tait as…

Long road delays on the journey to Cheshire and back meant the visitors had to endure an eight hour round-trip, and on the pitch both sides discovered the route to goal was also blocked as Stalybridge Celtic and Blyth Spartans played out a 0-0 draw at Bower Fold. With two contenders for the league’s golden boot – in Celtic’s Phil Marsh and Blyth’s Paul Brayson – on show, not many…

Hinckley United 5 Blyth Spartans 1 (Match Reaction)

“The one positive I can think of is that we’ve only lost three points” were the words of Mick Tait after watching his side slump to a 5-1 defeat at Hinckley in the Blue Square Bet North on Saturday. And the Blyth Spartans manager couldn’t have summed up his side’s performance any better on a day to forget in Leicestershire. But far from castigating his players Tait knows better than…

It is getting increasingly difficult to predict which Blyth Spartans is going to turn up these days. After the 6-2 mauling of Vauxhall Motors last weekend Mick Tait’s side put in a woeful display at the Greene King Stadium and got exactly what they deserved against a resurgent Hinckley United. The Knitters gained revenge for a 4-0 defeat at Croft Park in February as this time it was the Blyth…
