Paddy Atkinson will be hoping for a fireworks display from his side this weekend – after their midweek Halloween horror show. After winning 4-2 at home to Frickley Athletic last Saturday, Spartans travelled to Worksop in good spirits. However, a ghoulish defensive display helped Town to inflict Blyth’s heaviest defeat for 10 years – since a 0-7 away loss at Droylsden in November 2002. And the caretaker manager will be…
In association with: ALAN McLEAN FCMA CGMA Chartered Management Accountant Spartans will travel to Worksop Town tomorrow night hoping to inflict a Halloween horror on the Tigers as Paddy Atkinson will hope his side will give him two wins in a week following Saturday’s 4-2 win over Frickley Athletic. That win brought to an end a nightmare run of form for Spartans and they will look to leave Nottinghamshire in…
Spartans welcome Frickley to Croft Park this weekend, for their first meeting since Blyth pipped Athletic to the 2005/06 Unibond Premier League title.

And Spartans will hope to better their 18th-placed opponents once again,…
In a year which has seen the “Olympic Spirit” come to the fore, Spartans will be hoping to demoralise their opponents this weekend.

And Paddy Atkinson’s men will be looking to record their…

It’s FA Cup time again at Croft Park tomorrow as Blue Square North side Workington are the visitors for a Second Qualifying Round tie. It will be friends reunited as management duo Tommy Cassidy and Paddy Atkinson both had spells with the Borough Park club whilst current players Joe Kendrick and Shaun Vipond(pictured) also spent time with the Reds. Cassidy will hope to have defender Carl Jones back in contention…
Tommy Cassidy will be looking to knock former club Workington out of this season’s FA Cup, when the Cumbrian side travel to Croft Park this weekend. And the former Northern Ireland international will be hoping for a better result than the two he endured at the start of his Spartans tenure – as the Borough Park side did the double over Cassidy’s side last season. Playing a team in a…
Blyth Spartans supporters will be sure to give a big hand to one of Chorley’s players this evening – as Ciaran Kilheeney returns to Croft Park. On this ground in an FA Trophy Third Round tie back in 2011, Kilheeney turned keeper and infamously escaped punishment for using his fist to knock Michael Tait’s goal-bound header off the line, before scoring a late equaliser to force a replay. And, despite…
