Season ticket holders at Croft Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Blyth Spartans languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Farsley Celtic will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Farsley Celtic form and stats
No Vanarama National League North points yet away for Farsley Celtic, from their first 3 matches. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Farsley's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Farsley go into this game after a win, the home game against Gateshead that ended 1-0. A draw for Farsley Celtic before that, at their own venue hosting Leamington (1-1).
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Vanarama National League North trip to Alfreton Town.
The attacking power of Farsley Celtic when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. The Farsley manager A. Lakeland has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
