Away Ground Guide - Blyth Spartans( Tuesday 20 November 2018)







Blyth Spartans Association Football Club Limited - Croft Park, Plessey Road, Blyth, Northumberland, NE24 3JE


Croft Park was  warm and sunny last season as County took all the points off the Northumbrian side towards season's end  .






The Stadium.  

Croft Park is a decent ground with a fine main stand, which County fans,( after parting with an additional  couple of quid ) could make use of.
Last term most took up position on the covered terrace behind one goal and part way along the adjoining standing areas, where , despite segregation, the two sets mingled OK.
 They got on well most notably in the Masons Arms prematch where the SCAN Presentations to Tommy Sword and Dave  Lawson took place  amidst much singing and high spirits.  



Sustenance!  

There was a small catering unit available to the away following. This was nothing special at all, but hedgie’s hot dog was OK and much else on offer looked fairly eatable too.
     

Programme.       

 `Spartans’ at £2 for 32 pages was decent value, and not a bad read also.

Real Ale Thereabouts.......



The Masons Arms


Regretably...whilst the Masons is situated almost on top of the Away Turnstiles  they no longer serve real ales, but that said you might just find the obvious convenience of the place`s position  an attraction.
