A STATEMENT FROM MR. TONY PLATTEN, CHAIRMAN OF BLYTH SPARTANS AFC Following a Board meeting last night (Monday) I can announce, on behalf of the Directors, that the Club will not be renewing the contract of manager Harry Dunn. Harry’s 2-year contract finished at the end of the season. The Board fully recognise Harry’s achievements at Blyth, most notably, in getting the Club promoted to the Blue Square North three…

As announced over the PA System during Saturday’s match with Gainsborough Trinity, the Blyth Spartans Under 17 team have fought their way to the final of the North East Youth Divisional Cup to face Morpeth Town Under 17’s. The final is to be staged at Croft Park. Should any SpartansFans wish to pop along to cheer on some possible future Spartans Legends, the game will be played this Wednesday (22…
Time was ticking away quickly as Blyth Spartans went into Saturday’s game with Gainsborough Trinity. Relegation from the Blue Square North was still a possibility with only three games remaining. The Club has never been relegated in its entire history and the prospect of such an occurrence after this season’s hugely successful FA Cup run would make for cruel irony. With Blyth holding on to a precious point at the…
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.
On Easter Saturday Blyth striker Anthony Shandran pulled a rabbit out of the hat deftly turning the Workington defence before looking up and stroking the ball home with consummate ease. The goal gave Blyth three points against their Cumbrian hosts – their first away win in eight attempts. Considering last Thursday’s woeful performance at home to Droylsden, which the Spartans lost 2-0, Saturday’s single goal victory was somewhat surprising but…
