Here’s a little treat thanks to Spartans fan Ross Teasdale. With due respect to Mr Ian Brown, a Dublin DJ has added commentary from Blyth’s 1978 FA Cup Run and the Spartans fans to give … F.E.A.R a new lease of life.

The new season must nearly be here, for the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round fixtures are out.

The draw for the 9th Round of the FA Cup is here and, for some odd reason there are only two teams left in!! We thought there were 5 or 6 rounds left yet but, apparently, no, it’s all down to the last two already.
