geordiedean Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Blyth's travelling next season will probably be the lowest in years. There will always be a few long treks, but getting as many shorter journeys makes a huge difference, especially when it comes to rearranged games due to weather / cup clashes which always pile up as the season goes on. Wonder if Blyth or Spennymoor or Darlington will play Gateshead on boxing day and new years day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if Blyth or Spennymoor or Darlington will play Gateshead on boxing day and new years day I would imagine it’ll be blyth vs Gateshead, spennymoor vs Darlington. Recent seasons it’s been blyth v spenny. Darlo v York. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNE40 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 It'll mean one of them won't have a local game over the Festive Period (my guess would be York) as it'll probably be Blyth v Gateshead and Spenny v Darlo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Blyth's Dan Maguire has gone full-time and signed for York City. Lee Clark gonna have a job on to find a replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Blyth seem to have lost most of their first team squad going off their Twitter feed. Cost of overachieving I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board have also cut the budget which is why Armstrong and half the team signed for Darlington. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 The story goes that Armstrong didn't give players with one-year options the letter confirming they'd be taken up or the letters confirming non-contract players would be retained, presumably because he was already going to Darlo and that made it easier for him to re-sign them one he popped up there. In terms of fixtures, unlike the NPL- where clubs volunteer Christmas / Easter fixtures to the league by mutual agreement then other games are fitted around those, the Conference just mandate a double header at Christmas and NY. I don't think they even do anything special for Bank Holiday games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really sad to see with Blyth, but as Disco[/member] quite rightly says, it's the cost of their fantastic season last year (along with their sensible approach to sustainability - though I'm not sure the fans will see it that way if they have a poor season this time round). They have signed a lot of lads from Newcastle Benfield in NL1 and it could be a big tough task for them to adjust to three levels higher but it's an excellent opportunity for them all the same. Lee Clark has a big job on his hands there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNE40 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Don't think it's been mentioned yet but Dan Maguire signed for York City yesterday, moving into full-time football. Bad blow for Blyth but can't blame him for wanting to give it a try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I've been to a Whitby Game, it was decent. Some of the usual non-league drunk old men but I didn't notice anything too bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowndsy Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I too have been there when spennymoor played them. Good friendly bunch to be fair. Decent enough team too. Scarbrough also have a decent set up now too if that’s not too far away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
