Anthony Shandran – Suspension Update
The result of Anthony’s sending off at Hyde United means that he will miss our last 2 games of the season, Southport at home and Burscough away as well as the first game next season.

If Hyde Utd are defeated in tonight’s home clash against title chasing Southport and Blyth manage a victory on Saturday over Gainsborough Trinity, (who were beaten 0-1 by Hyde last Saturday), the Spartans will virtually be assured of BSN football next season, bar losing a 19 goal difference advantage over Burscough.
Following the club’s epic FA Cup run this season, the FA have annouced the dates for next year’s competition. Should Blyth Spartans retain their Blue Square North status, we would enter the competition in the 2nd Qualifying Round: – Extra Preliminary Round – Saturday 15 August 2009 Preliminary Round – Saturday 29 August 2009 First Round Qualifying – Saturday 12 September 2009 Second Round Qualifying – Saturday 26 September 2009…
Following on from Gary’s red card against Redditch United, that we see the popular defender miss 4 matches (the remaining games of this season, as well as the opening game of next), his booking in the recent Vauxhall Motors game was also his 10th of the season, meaning an additional 2 game ban. This will sadly see Gary now miss the opening three games of the 2009/2010 campaign.
