Having started organising away travel in 2011 with a minibus for the 10 hours and 500 mile round trip to Worcester City, we’ve gone on to organise well over 100 coaches over the past decade or so while gathering together a group of regulars who’ve become good mates through the years, experiencing the wild ups and downs of Blyth Spartans AFC.
Awayday Info
While we don’t have a massive list of shitey rules for everyone to follow, all we ask is that you respect the bus driver and the lads who organising the coach as this is something we do voluntarily and put a lot of time and effort into. Lastly, please make sure you all your rubbish is hoyed in the bins provided. Thank you xoxo
Pick up/Drop off points
These days the bus will usually leave Blyth from The Wallaw (14 Union St, Blyth NE24 2DX) which is the towns Wetherspoons, with questionable breakfasts but decent enough pints. At the moment we have two pick up points, with the first being from High Pit in Cramlington at the bus stop between the TA centre and Alex Scott cars (High Pit Rd, Cramlington NE23 6RB) before the final pick up point in Seaton Delaval from the Avenue Head bus stop next to AK fitness (Avenue Head, Seaton Delaval NE25 0DT). Drop off’s will be done at the same locations upon return.
Pricing & Refunds
As always we’ll do are upmost to secure the best deal possible for supporters for when it comes to working with bus companies. Green Army members will usually get £5 off bus bookings, and will get priority booking when it comes to bigger games.
If a bus is cancelled beforehand due to lack of numbers, you will be given the refund back as a credit to use for future away travel. Should a bus be cancelled before we set off on the day due to the match being called off, you will be given the refund back as a credit to use for future away travel. Should the game be called off while we are on the way to the game or once we’ve arrived, we won’t be able to offer any credits/refunds as the bus company will still require payment in full.
