Laura Magill Completes Great North Run for Prostrate Cancer 👏
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.

Supporters Club Fund New Academy Structure.
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.

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.
