Moors Book Dream Day At Wembley
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.

Brian Shippen has received the coveted Premier League Community Champion award for his services to Walking Football in Spennymoor.
I know from following the journey of the Walking Football Team, the positive impact both physically and mentally it has had on those who participate and Brian has been instrumental in building a camaraderie that is second to none.
Brian is a Supporters Club member who regularly contributes towards our activities and because of that and his approachable manner we have been more than happy to provide support through sponsorship when asked a sponsorship I’m sure will run well into the future.
Congratulations Brian on this thoroughly deserved honour. 👏👏👏

Remembrance Sunday
STFC Supporters Club were represented at the Remembrance Day Service in Spennymoor by veterans David Harrison and his wife Michelle.

Minutes Silence & Permanent Plaque in Memory of David Linford
Spennymoor Town Supporters observed a minutes silence in memory of life long fan David Linford on Saturday ahead of the home fixture against Chorley.
In addition to the minutes silence a small plaque (see photo above) was affixed to the perimeter fence close to the area where David liked to park his scooter on home games.
Supporters Club Chairman Norman Dale on behalf of David’s family and friends would like to thank the football club for the opportunity to commemorate David’s life in this way.
David Linford Laid To Rest
A generous gathering of Spennymoor Town Supporters lined the pavement outside Wood View as their friend and fellow supporter David Linford passed the Brewery Field for the final time.
The cortège included a striking white carriage carrying David’s coffin which was draped with a flag bearing the colours of his beloved team, the carriage pulled elegantly by two beautiful black & white horses.
The well attended, standing room only service held at the Wear Valley Crematorium near Coundon told of David’s passion for sport, sharing anecdotes of a lifelong commitment to Cricket, Football & Horse Racing.
As a Spennymoor Town Supporter David remained loyal right to the end, so it was fate perhaps, due to bizarre circumstances Spennymoor Town played on the evening of David’s funeral, with a 3-0 away victory a fiiting tribute to his legacy.
God bless you David, rest in peace and thanks for the memories. ⚪️⚫️
