All involved with Spennymoor Town FC are saddened to learn of the passing of former manager Tony Lee.

Tony managed United in different spells from 2001 to 2004 and was a player, manager and scout for various other north east football clubs. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

Spennymoor Town FC supporters responded generously to a chuck it in the bucket appeal which raised £368.39 today. The Supporters alliance added a further £250 which was matched by the Football Club. Final total donated was £868.39 👏👏

Former Newcastle United player Peter Ramage, surprised NASB patrons with short talk in hosted by Football Club General Manager Ian Geldard. This was a welcome addition to the standard match day experience which is usually only afforded to CDL guests.

Ramage spoke openly about his career and his current role within the Newcastle United U23 set up. He played over 50 times for United and we have him to thank for his part played in securing a loan deal for big Dan Langley.

I’m sure you will agree that the playing surface at the Brewery Field is a picture to behold. This is largely due to departing Groundskeeper Mark Sleightholme who has recently accepted a new role closer to home. Our loss will be South Shields gain. We wish Mark good luck and good health for the future.

The Supporters made a generous donation of £250 to the appeal for Paddy who sustained a brain injury during Darlington’s FA Trophy Fixture at Southend. We wish Paddy a speedy recovery and extend our best wishes to his family.

We bid farewell to long serving Football Club Secretary David Leitch who leaves after an impressive 14 years of service. Supporters Chair John Magill and member Tom Morgan took time out during our Boxing Day victory at Blyth Spartans to present David with an engraved silver tankard.
