Match Info: Blyth Spartans (A), Sat 14th Sept, 3pm KO
Bring it on! That’s the spirit in the camp as the Shakers face the long journey to the North East tomorrow to face Blyth Spartans in the FA Cup.
Yes, they’re a club with a great history and in a higher league. But we have already seen off three teams from a higher division in earlier rounds and have nothing to fear.
And another Yes – we struggled against Isle of Man last weekend. But that last kick draw with two of our players in the sin bin boosted morale on and off the pitch. And we go into this cup game on the back of a thoroughly professional 4-2 win at Glossop Town on Tuesday.
The Glossop game proved the value of having a squad of players with strength in depth. Three changes enabled some to be rested and added fresh legs to a group of players who’d had a tough weekend.
In Opposition – Blyth Spartans
Despite a stunning history dating back to 1889, the Northumberland coastal town team are struggling in the Northern Premier League. They have won only one and drawn two of their eight games, and currently lie second to bottom.
Getting through to this round of the cup was a struggle after they went one down in their Wednesday night home replay against Yorkshire amateur side Campion AFC. Blyth equalised in the second half, but the game went into extra time even after the Bradford team’s goalkeeper was shown a red card. They finally ran out 3-1 winners.
The 1-1 draw in Bradford last Saturday was David Stockdale’s first match as interim manager. Afterwards, he said: “The main thing for me was the character that came out of it…Nobody is going to say it was a great performance, but it was a good performance in terms of character and determination, which is what I asked of them.”
Stockdale has since been installed as permanent first team manager. Click here to read more.

Legends Wall Update
We’d like to provide an update on our Legends Wall.
First of all, we’d like to thank all fans who sponsored a player from down the years.
We’re currently working with our Heritage Committee to create the 15 history panels that will be interjected into the player panels, matching the relevant players to the correct era.
Once designed we will publish each history panel and open these up for sponsorship.
We’re hoping to launch the Legends Wall at our first home game in October.
Thanks for your continued support on this project.

Match Info: Glossop North End (A), Tue 10th Sept, 7:45pm KO
Dave McNabb’s 50th game in charge of the Shakers came with late drama at the weekend, with a 1-1 draw away at FC Isle of Man.
Ben Hockenhull equalised in the sixth minute of stoppage time, after Sean Doyle opened the scoring for the Ravens 11 minutes into the second half.
The fans were in fine voice in the Manx’s capital, after hundreds made the trip across the Irish Sea for the second time this calendar year. Luckily with no delays this time!
You can watch Dave McNabb’s post match interview following that last gasp point at the Douglas Bowl below.
It’s the second away game of four in this run of fixtures. We head to Blyth at the weekend and then Ramsbottom, but focus for now is on Glossop North End.
Full information is available below.
In Opposition – Glossop North End
The club was founded in 1886 and joined the North Cheshire League four years later. Glossop spent two seasons each in The Combination and the Midland League, before moving to North Road and being elected into the Football League Second Division in 1898. Having been promoted in the 1898–99 season, they spent one season in the First Division. During this period the club was bankrolled by Sir Samuel Hill-Wood, who was later to become chairman of Arsenal. The club retains some connections with Arsenal. Glossop were relegated in 1900 and spent the next fifteen seasons in the Second Division, before exiting the Football League during World War I.
Post-war, they spent 1920 to 1957 in the Manchester League, being crowned champions in 1927–28. They moved from the Lancashire Combination back to the Manchester League in 1966, and then spent four seasons in the Cheshire County League from 1978 before the North West Counties was formed in 1982 in which Glossop were founder members, they had a 33-year stint in the league before winning the Premier Division title at the end of the 2014–15 campaign. They were beaten finalists in the FA Vase in 2009 and 2015.
In April 2023 GNE were relegated from Step 4 after a period of eight years, ending manager Stuart Mellish’s two-year stint at the helm. Michael Worthington was appointed as manager in the summer of 2023 as the Hillmen head into their first season back in the NWCFL.
Last season they finished 21st in the table – won 11, drawn 10, lost 25. Both Bury & Glossop won their respective league home game last season.
