Spartans announce Radio Tyneside Northsport partnership

Evo-Stik Northern Premier League club Blyth Spartans and Radio Tyneside have announced an exciting partnership for the new football season.

Listeners to Radio Tyneside's Northsport show will be given the insight into Spartans weekend league and cup fixtures with match previews and half time and full time reports.

The hospital radio station will also have interviews from the key figures at Croft Park during the week as the build up begins to those all-important weekend fixtures.

Spartans Media Manager Phil Castiaux commented "It's great to be working with Radio Tyneside and we are looking forward to a mutually beneficial partnership. We are always keen to spread the news about Blyth Spartans and this link will enable us to reach a new audience. Let's just hope we have a successful season, as we did last year, so that there is lots to talk about!"

And his thoughts were echoed by Jamie Glencross from Radio Tyneside's Northsport team: "The official link with Blyth Spartans will be a massive boost for our coverage and we're delighted that we will be able
to bring fans great, original content every week."

The coverage will air on Northsport, 2pm-6pm every Saturday from the 8th August in numerous hospitals around the North East, including those in Northumberland, Tyneside, Wearside and County Durham.
