After an impressive 1-0 away win over Barwell on Saturday, Blyth Spartans will hope their winning start will continue on Tuesday.
Whitby to Blyth is one of the shorter trips to Northumberland for any Evo-Stik Premier League side, but after an emphatic 4-0 win on Saturday themselves, over Stourbridge, the visitors will be as positive as Spartans.
Tom Wade is confident, however, that with the solid pre-season his side endured they are ready for the fast start to the league campaign which sees them play five games in the opening two weeks.
The Spartans boss’ thoughts can be read in this week’s Matchday Magazine, which is available for £2 from the usual places.
Wade talks about the Barwell trip in his Manager’s Notes, while there is also reaction to the pre-season campaign from contributor Malcolm Stephenson and general manager Ian Evans.
Club historian Ken Sproat introduces his new feature, Most Famously, while regular programme writer Luke Bidwell returns as he previews new Evo-Stik teams in Elsewhere in the Evo-Stik.
Finally, the player interview this week sees Nick Thomson speak to the Matchday Magazine, as he talks the USA, competition at Croft Park and prospects for the season ahead.
It’s not to miss!
