Blyth Spartans have been forced to cancel tonight’s friendly game against Newcastle Benfield, due to the amount of rain that has fallen on Croft Park in a short space of time this morning.

Following their relegation from the Premier League last season, Boro will travel to Blyth on Saturday July 22 – as part of the deal that saw Luke Armstrong leave Spartans at the end of the recent double-winning season. The game will…
Blyth Spartans manager Alun Armstrong insists he’s in no rush to bring in new players, despite only one new arrival coming through the doors at Croft Park so far during the close season. Left-back Ian Watson made a return to the club last month from fellow promoted side Spennymoor Town, but – as of yet – he is yet to be joined by any more new faces in the Spartans squad….
Blyth Spartans are pleased to announce the admission and season ticket prices for the 2017/18 Vanarama National League North season at Croft Park.

The Cumbrians will take on Alun Armstrong’s side at the home of the Vanarama National League North side on Saturday July 15. United finished the season in sixth place, but lost out to Exeter City…
