About This Event
Blyth Spartans AFC kick off their 2026/27 pre-season with home friendlies at Croft Park. The club, founded in 1899, plays in the National League North and is famous for its FA Cup giant-killing runs — most memorably reaching the fifth round in 1978. Croft Park is a proper non-league ground with a capacity of around 4,400 and a cracking atmosphere on matchdays. Early Bird season ticket holders get access to all home pre-season fixtures. Check the club website for confirmed opponents and kick-off times as the schedule is still being finalised.
