All the lads will be doing their best to travel back up North with three points in the bag in what is to be a tough test.

MATCH PREVIEW
Blyth Spartans will be hoping for a better result from the last time they visited The Arriva Stadium after last seasons 5-1 defeat at the hands of the Mariners. The goal scorer in that game for Spartans, Marcus Maddison, who was released by Newcastle United mid way during last season, has recently joined rivals Gateshead FC, who started their campaign off with 2 defeats.
