Away Ground Guide- Spennymoor Town -Tuesday 11 December 2018

By -
Spennymoor Town FC,
The Brewery Field,
Wood Vue,
Spennymoor,
DL16 6JN



Just when we were dreaming of Spennymoor on a balmy April eve, the fixture is rearranged for next Tuesday.
Should be a decent trip out nevertheless, and one ,with County revving up for a big finish in the league campaign, it would be foolish to miss out on( in my opinion).
 A new ground last season, and our first visit to Brewery Fields was not a particularly joyous one, County coming home having been beaten by the only goal of a disappointing game.
We can expect better this term - believe it!



Admission Prices 2018/19:-
Adults £14
Concessions £9
Juniors £4
Under 10's Free with accompanying adult.


The following information comes from the Spennymoor Club.......

Parking
Durham Road and Wood Vue tend to be very congested on match days so we recommend home and away supporters use the main Car Park behind the Town Hall or the Leisure Centre, which is a short walk from the ground. Parking is free. Don’t however use the Iceland / Home Bargains car park as you are liable to get a fine or clamped after a couple of hours.

Ground Access
Access to the ground is via the Wood Vue turnstiles just off Durham Road. Disabled access is also available at this entrance.

Bar and refreshment Facilities
The bar is located in the main stand towards the far end of the ground. Hot and cold, food and drinks are also available beyond the main stand.

Toilet Facilities
Gents toilets are available before the main stand close to the turnstiles. Ladies Toilets are situated on the other side of the stand towards the far end of the ground. Ladies and gents toilets are also available in the main grandstand – access is through the bar.
On the Tees Crescent side of the ground the newly refurbished toilet block is now open providing Gents Toilets as well as facilities for disabled supporters and is suitable for wheelchair access. This toilet also doubles up as a Ladies Toilet and Baby Changing facilities are also included.
Please note that access to this side of the ground is restricted to the Tees Crescent entrance due to the terracing around the rest of the ground. If you wish to attend a game and you are restricted to a wheelchair please contact the club in advance and arrangements will be made for access.

By Rail.... 

I  have found putting info together on trains  to  Spennymoor difficult in so far as Spennymoor  no longer has a train station.
Getting to Spennymoor thus needs a transfer from Bishop Aukland, and with this taken into account would add an hour or more to the travelling time.
In addition tickets are likely to be £40- £65 range depending presumably on when you travel, so it's your call, and rail buffs will maybe think the extra trouble worthwhile.

Real Ale recommendations close to the ground.....

Just 0.1m away is the Moors Tavern ( DL16 6QH), and it comes very highly recommended........and old hedgie popped in last term and can verify  good opinions.



and ...at 0.2m is the Brewers Arms( BD16 6AG)

Simply Disgraceful !

Simply Disgraceful ! This day will rank in infamy    with some of the darkest in our Club`s history- the owners of Stockport County have sacked Jim Gannon…..a dreadful decision......... totally bereft of merit, and one heralded by a shamefully inadequate announcement, as insulting to County fans as it is to Jim. Champions under Jim in our last completed season, fourth in the league after as impressive a win as any Club Chair could wish to witness from his team on Tuesday, despite the interrupted nature of the current season, and clearly playing well, so this smacks of something other than prudence or good decision making and as for being rational and fair………….. Sadly the Club`s owners rather added to the anger their foolish decision has already triggered, by stating that the decision was not results based, but based on `culture`.   Jim is a proven quality Manager , who knows what it takes to make County tick, has done so many times in the past, and   has forg...

Wrexham 1 Stockport County 2 ( Vanarama National League) 31 August 2019

“Where`s the goals gonna come from”-is a familiar refrain from those wanting County to ship in a new striker every other week, and County once again fully answered that one with “ from almost everywhere” as goals from defenders Sam Minihan and Ash Palmer secured all the points at the Racecourse Ground today against Wrexham. A 2-0 County lead at half time seemed to signal a rout, but Wrexham fought well upon the re-start and made a real match of it , albeit that an imperious display by County`s superb back line limited them largely to shots from distance. The defensive display from JG`s boys, in the second 45 minutes, if somewhat hard on the nerves, was again excellent , but a late goal to the Welshmen made the last few minutes tenser than perhaps they should have been. It all ended well however, as ,   with Festus Arthur on in place of Bell ,for his longest stretch of on the park minutes so far, and Mulhern on for Turnbull, marshalled by Keano and Palmer, ...

Notts County 2 Stockport County 1 ( Vanarama National League) Saturday 23 October 2021

By -

        Perhaps expectations were a touch excessive, after all most visits to Meadow Lane usually result in a stiff test from a home side hell bent on victory. Today was no exception to this as County were outplayed for 94 and a half minutes of the 96 played, by a Notts County side drilled to do the basics correctly, and doing just that. Almost all their passes, no matter the situation, inevitably found a man in a black and white shirt who knew thereafter precisely what they should do with it, whereas if County had no shortage of possession at times, they appeared to be largely lacking a basic pattern to work to that went beyond the sideways pass, and the occasional long ball from Rooney. This resulted in Simon Rusk`s side trailing 2-0 two minutes into four added minutes, when unaccountably the previously immaculately drilled home back line pressed the panic button resulting in a County penalty ( 1-2) and a welter of frenzied County attacks and corners, but it ...
