Thanks to all the Marine Fans who chose to join us on the day 👊🏻

Thanks to all the Chester Fans who chose to join us this afternoon 👊🏻

Supporters Club Members approved a donation of £250 to an initiative ran by the group that publish the Spennymoor News. The money will go towards a scheme that encourages young journalists in our area. The Spennymoor News have always been accommodating when we request advertising so we were more than happy to help.

Club Photographer David Nelson was presented with the Supporters Club Unsung Hero award at our recent members meeting. He is seen here receiving his award of a unique hand crafted statuette of a photographer from Supporters Club Treasurer Ernie Hamer.

David has given many years of loyal service to the football club, his photos have been nominated for awards and he a well respected part of the Moors extended family.

David is also involved heavily with Ladies Team and becomes the second recipient of this prestigious award after club videographer Chris Rowcroft last season. 👏👏

In light of recent negative social media comments aimed at our Chairman and the Supporters Club in general, we would like to offer the following statement to anyone with an interest in Spennymoor Town FC. 

We are appalled that our Chairman is being targeted by some Spennymoor Town FC Fans as a scapegoat for the well publicised fallout between the Football Club and Supporters Club.

We are appalled that the distribution of leaflets promoting our Supporters Club to STFC Supporters has been dressed up by some as an anti-establishment protest rather than a recruitment drive.

We are appalled that many of those targeting our Chairman have benefitted in the past from the endeavours of our Supporters Club.

We are appalled that events leading up to the banning order imposed on our Chairman are being inaccurately reported and rewritten.

Our chairman remains highly respected within our organisation, was instrumental in keeping the club alive when faced with leadership challenges, guided the club through the Covid period, has overseen and contributed to many fund raising initiatives which have raised £1000’s that have been spent on equipment for the Football Club and community based activities. He gives his time freely and expects no reward. He is 72 years old, he does not deserve the criticism he is receiving.

Our Supporters Club will continue to operate away from the Brewery Field under the guidance of our Chairman. Our Supporters Club is not anti Football Club, everything we do is in support of the Football Club and raises the profile of the Football Club albeit now indirectly. We remain open to work with the Football Club on projects of mutual benefit, however with a prerequisite that the ban placed on our chairman, which we view as unwarranted, is lifted as the email signed by Mr Groves imposing the ban failed to answer any of the reasonable questions put to him about the conduct of then General Manager, now Managing Director, Ian Geldard.

In conclusion we recommend Supporters do not form opinions of our Chairman or our Organisation based on what is posted on Social Media which are often formulated on hearsay and opinion rather than the actual facts. Instead should you require clarity on anything we do please contact us directly either through our website moors.org.uk or by emailing office@moors.org.uk

Former club captain Chris Mason has joined newly promoted Step 5 club Birtley Town. Chris ends his long association with the Moors as a true legend, who’s most notable contribution was lifting the 2013 FA Vase. Thanks for everything Chris and good luck from all at STFC Supporters Club 👏👏

We are delighted to confirm that we will sponsor Danny Greenfield for the new Season. Danny is a strong contender for a place in the starting eleven come the big kickoff and I’m sure all involved with STFC Supporters Club wish him the best of luck.
