We're thrilled to announce that our 5th Annual Sports Speaker Evening was a tremendous success!

This year’s event, organised in partnership with Team Solan, attracted a full house eager to hear captivating stories from the playing and managerial career of our Guest Speaker, former Newcastle, Sunderland, and Fulham midfielder Lee Clark. The evening was expertly hosted by Graham Sheldon and featured a delicious hot supper provided by Papa Kell. Attendees also enjoyed a sports memorabilia auction and raffle, culminating in a hilarious comedy set by the ever-entertaining Max Pressure.

The event successfully raised £2,310, which will be equally shared between the Supporters Club and Team Solan, supporting their ongoing initiatives.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Mark Solan and his dedicated volunteers, Graham Sheldon, Fletchers Funeral Directors for sponsoring the event, Spennymoor WMC for graciously hosting us, everyone who donated raffle prizes, the bar staff, the Supporters Club Committee and volunteers, as well as all our members and guests whose contributions made the evening truly memorable. 👏🏻👏🏻

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Phil Howe, who sadly passed away recently.

Phil was a well-loved figure at the Brewery Field and within the Walking Football community. As a dedicated Supporters Club member for many years, he regularly contributed to our activities and was a familiar face at pre-match gatherings at the WMC. His presence and camaraderie will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Phil will be laid to rest today, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to his loved ones during this difficult time.

Anita Goundry, who is also an avid Spennymoor Town fan, said: “A few weeks ago I had a Zoom call from the Alzheimer’s Society inviting me to be an England mascot at Wembley. It came as such a shock I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, so I did both.

“It only became real when I got the letter from the England head coach, Thomas Tuchel.”

Anita was diagnosed with young onset mixed dementia – a type of dementia that affects people under 65 and involves both Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia – after experiencing a stress-induced stroke at 50, although she first began experiencing symptoms of the illness in her mid-40s.

She decided then to move back to the town “to have a sense of where I belong for as long as possible,” she said.

“The day itself was amazing,” said Anita. “I have never felt such a buzz. The atmosphere was electric.

“Every player was warm and friendly, taking time to say hello and give a handshake or high five. I even got a couple of hugs.

“In no time it was the line-up in the tunnel and I was paired with Ollie Watkins and behind me was Anthony Gordon. I hadn’t realised how tall Dan Burn actually is!

“Then it was time to walk out to the deafening noise and the sea of people. The view was amazing, I couldn’t stop smiling.

“It was overwhelming singing the national anthem at Wembley – something I could only ever have dreamed of.

“I’m home now but still buzzing. I would like to thank STFC Supporters Club for helping me raise money by selling off my tickets to Wembley, which was donated to the Alzheimer’s Society.

“This is a memory I hope I can keep with me until my last days.“

Supporters Club Chairman Norman Dale presented a specially crafted pennant to WMC officials Tommy Sproull and Gary Miller as a token of appreciation for their ongoing hospitality.

The Supporters Club has experienced significant growth in recent years, much of which is thanks to the WMC. The venue has served as a welcoming hub where members and supporters gather on match days before making their way to the Brewery Field.

Special thanks are also extended to Supporters Club Executive Committee member Allan Gregson, who designed the pennant, adding a personal and meaningful touch to the presentation. 👏👏

England vs Wales Wembley International Tickets Winner

We are delighted to announce that Gareth Richards has won the coveted tickets for the England vs Wales match at Wembley Stadium. Congratulations to Gareth on this exciting prize!

Thank You for Your Support

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the members who participated in the ticket raffle. Your involvement not only made this event successful but also helped raise valuable funds for a worthy cause. Your support truly makes a difference, and we appreciate your generosity and enthusiasm.

Branded hard plastic beer glasses are now widely available at the Brewery Field, enhancing the match day experience for supporters.

The Supporters Club has played a significant role in introducing these durable, branded glasses, replacing the previously used flimsy disposable ones that were often a source of frustration among fans.

This initiative aligns with the Football Club’s new deposit and return scheme, which aims to reduce waste and promote sustainability during events.

Supporters Club Representatives Norman Dale and Tony Cairns proudly attended the official announcement at the Brewery Field, marking the launch of this environmentally friendly scheme.

The Supporters Club contributed £1,140 towards the project, demonstrating their commitment to improving facilities and supporting the club’s green initiatives.

In a recent poll, members voted against changing the prize structure for our popular letter draw.

There had been a proposal to introduce a weekly bonus prize of £100, along with an increased chance of winning. This suggestion divided the committee, leading to a full members' vote, which resulted in 69% voting against and 31% in favor.

We sincerely thank all members who took the time to participate in the vote and share their views.

Our congratulations go to Laura Magill, who recently completed the Great North Run in an impressive time of 2 hours and 35 minutes, raising £1,800 for Prostate Cancer UK.

This charity has become particularly close to the Supporters Club family in recent years, especially following the diagnosis of former Chairman John Magill with prostate cancer.

In addition to Laura’s remarkable achievement, Supporters Club member Peter Carr has made a significant contribution by committing to walk tens of thousands of steps every day for an entire year. His dedication has helped raise substantial funds and awareness for prostate cancer.

The STFC Supporters Club extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported these efforts, demonstrating the strength and compassion of our community. 👏👏

Importance of Early Detection

Prostate cancer is a serious condition, but early detection can make a significant difference in treatment outcomes. We encourage all men, especially those over 50 or with a family history, to get regular health checks.

Moors Supporters Back New Academy Structure

Spennymoor Town FC Supporters Clubs have approved funding of £2000 in support of Spennymoor Town Youth FC.

The youth set-up has undergone a major structural change, gaining autonomy from Spennymoor Town Football Club by registering as a Community Interest Company (CIC). This new structure will be managed by dedicated coaches and parents, ensuring focused leadership and community involvement.

Supporters Club Perspective

A spokesperson from the Supporters Club commented, “This is a bold, forward-thinking move by the Academy, and we, as an Independent Supporters Club, are proud to support it financially. We understand the challenges that come with such a transition and hope our contribution will help alleviate the financial burden often placed on parents, many of whom have multiple children involved in the system.”

Building New Partnerships

The spokesperson added, “We see strong synergies between our groups and hope this partnership will engage a younger and more diverse audience, reaching beyond the traditional Supporters Club demographic. This collaboration aims to foster greater community involvement and support for the youth academy’s future.”

The Supporters Club now actively support Spennymoor Town FC, Spennymoor Town Youth FC, Spennymoor Walking Football FC, Spennymoor News and Spennymoor Youth Theatre Group.

The Supporters Club has kindly donated £200 to Glen Taylors Testimonial Prize Draw. This generous gift not only backs a fantastic cause but also gives us 100 chances to snag one of the amazing prizes up for grabs.

If we’re lucky enough to win a prize, we’ll raffle it off again, with all the proceeds going straight back to the Testimonial Fund. That way, we can boost our support for Glen’s special testimonial year even more.

Glen has been a loyal and invaluable part of our Football Club, and we’re hoping his testimonial year is a huge success both on and off the field.

We are delighted to announce that the Supporters Club will sponsor Olly Dyson for the upcoming season.

Olly a fan favourite, earned several season awards last year, highlighting his outstanding performance and dedication.

This sponsorship underscores our ongoing commitment to supporting the football club through various sponsorship opportunities. We remain open to exploring mutually beneficial partnerships as they arise, strengthening our collaboration with the club and its players.

As many as 10 Coaches rolled out of Spennymoor on Saturday morning carrying Supporters destined for Rochdale who would join up with those travelling by train and car where an estimated 1000 plus got to witness arguably the biggest day in Spennymoor Footballing History, the reward, a visit to Wembley for what will be most definitely the biggest day in the Clubs history.

A proud moment for Manager Graeme Lee, his coaching staff and a squad of players who despite an uneventful start to the season have given everything and set up a remarkable final month which could see Moors both win the FA Trophy and achieve promotion to the National League through the playoffs.

What ever happens under the Wembley arches or during the league run in, all supporters could not be prouder of the players, manager and coaching team.

As a Supporters Club we were thrilled to be able to play our part by providing affordable transportation along with support in accessing online tickets. We hope to be able to update supporters on Wembley travel arrangements soon.
