Broadcaster has Croft Park covered

Blyth Spartans and Radio Northumberland have agreed a deal for the local community station to broadcast all of the club's home fixtures next season.

Radio Northumberland will cover every kick of their Evo-Stik Northern Premier League campaign and involvement in all four cup competitions Spartans are due to play in. The station has also committed to covering a minimum of five fixtures away from Croft Park during the season.

The community station has covered a host of Spartans fixtures this season and is upping their coverage after winning excellent feedback from the Green Army and opposition supporters.

Radio Northumberland's Head of Sport Jonny Hall, pictured alongside Phil Castiaux, Blyth's Head of Media, said: "This latest announcement is part of Radio Northumberland's on-going commitment to providing high quality, Non-League football programming in this area.

"The response to our coverage, from both the Green Army and opposition supporters, has been incredible and we look forward to providing live and uninterrupted coverage of all home games next season at one of the most famous Non-League clubs in the country."

"Everyone at the club has been very welcoming and I have personally enjoyed my first season at Croft Park working with Mark [Carruthers], Phil and the rest of the Spartans media team."

Castiaux said: "Having Radio Northumberland pledging to extend their coverage of our games next season is great news. Anyone who has listened to their broadcasts this year will agree that the station do themselves proud in terms of their polished commentary. The move to increase broadcasts can be seen as another welcome improvement in Blyth Spartans’ media output."
