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

Yours in Sport STFC Supporters Club Executive Committee.

Always nice to see positive responses from our hosts. Below is a social post from the Bell Pub in Banbury praising supporters who made the long journey to Oxfordshire at the weekend. 👊🏻

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.

On Sunday 16th April two local Spennymoor boys were involved in a horrific and very serious road accident in Eggleston Co Durham.

Jack Godwin 18 and 17 year old Ben Davies were airlifted from the scene with life-threatening injuries.

Within a week of first hearing of the incident, staff and committee at Tudhoe Victory Club had planned a fundraising evening which took place on Friday 28th April.

Moors Supporters United made a cash contribution to an overall fund of £1425 raised by the Victory Club.

The money will go to the parents of the boys to help with the unseen financial pressures that occur during difficult times.

Paul Rodgerson and Sue Neesam from the Victory Club have requested we pass on thier sincere thanks to all of our members 👏

Tricky wingback John Lufudu topped the poll for this seasons MSU Player of the Year Award.

The award is a memorial to our much loved and missed former Secretary / Treasurer Connie Wailes.

Connie’s partner Fred Hughes presented the award to a delighted John Lufudu.

John holds on to the large trophy for one year and receives a small replica to keep.

MSU members Bryan Constable & Alan Gregson along with their friend Kieth Vickerstaff won the New Age Kurling Blind Awareness Championship held at Wolsingham Curling Club.

All competitors were either blind or blind folded. Proceeds from the competition went to charity. Well done to the three of them 👏👏

At a time when football fans are consistently given rough press when travelling up and down the country to support their team, it’s always pleasant to receive some positive candour.

Check out this social media review of Spennymoor Town Fans from our hosts at Kings Lynn at the MSU organised trip to the Walks Stadium…

”All to often we get to see posts of trouble makers at grounds. This post is to say what an amazing group of supporters spennymoor have. They visited the walks (kings Lynn) yesterday and sang their hearts out not once causing trouble or being offensive. At half time kings lynn had a parade of the youth teams and every supporter clapped and showed pure respect.

Massive well done to all associated with spennymoor if only more were like yourselves the league would be a better place”
