STFC SUPPORTERS CLUB STATEMENT
In light of recent negative social media comments aimed at our Chairman and the Supporters Club in general, we would like to offer the following statement to anyone with an interest in Spennymoor Town FC.
We are appalled that our Chairman is being targeted by some Spennymoor Town FC Fans as a scapegoat for the well publicised fallout between the Football Club and Supporters Club.
We are appalled that the distribution of leaflets promoting our Supporters Club to STFC Supporters has been dressed up by some as an anti-establishment protest rather than a recruitment drive.
We are appalled that many of those targeting our Chairman have benefitted in the past from the endeavours of our Supporters Club.
We are appalled that events leading up to the banning order imposed on our Chairman are being inaccurately reported and rewritten.
Our chairman remains highly respected within our organisation, was instrumental in keeping the club alive when faced with leadership challenges, guided the club through the Covid period, has overseen and contributed to many fund raising initiatives which have raised £1000’s that have been spent on equipment for the Football Club and community based activities. He gives his time freely and expects no reward. He is 72 years old, he does not deserve the criticism he is receiving.
Our Supporters Club will continue to operate away from the Brewery Field under the guidance of our Chairman. Our Supporters Club is not anti Football Club, everything we do is in support of the Football Club and raises the profile of the Football Club albeit now indirectly. We remain open to work with the Football Club on projects of mutual benefit, however with a prerequisite that the ban placed on our chairman, which we view as unwarranted, is lifted as the email signed by Mr Groves imposing the ban failed to answer any of the reasonable questions put to him about the conduct of then General Manager, now Managing Director, Ian Geldard.
In conclusion we recommend Supporters do not form opinions of our Chairman or our Organisation based on what is posted on Social Media which are often formulated on hearsay and opinion rather than the actual facts. Instead should you require clarity on anything we do please contact us directly either through our website moors.org.uk or by emailing office@moors.org.uk
Yours in Sport STFC Supporters Club Executive Committee.

Supporters Club Sponsor Moors Ladies Management Team.
We are proud to announce that we will be the Management Team Sponsor at Moors Ladies for the coming season. The Sponsorship will see our Brand Logo applied to all graphics and interviews done by the management team and also on the Big Screen when the Ladies play at the Brewery Field.
Moors Ladies secured promotion to the 5th Tier of Woman’s Football and we are delighted to be associated with their progression.
Transfer merry-go-round starts to spin
On the opening day of transfer announcements from the football club, many supporters will be left feeling a little short changed.
As the clock struck 1pm we were buoyed when versatile former Bradford City player Reece Staunton was welcomed to the club. Left deflated an hour or so later when informed the club had failed to persuade fan favourites Joe Tait & John Lufudo to sign new contacts. Then consoled by the news Michael Ledger had committed his future to the Moors by penning a new deal. Fast forward 24 hours and Bradford have been raided again this time highly rated midfielder Sam Fielding joins us despite strong opposition from elsewhere we hear.

On Sunday 16th April two local Spennymoor boys were involved in a horrific and very serious road accident in Eggleston Co Durham.
Jack Godwin 18 and 17 year old Ben Davies were airlifted from the scene with life-threatening injuries.
Within a week of first hearing of the incident, staff and committee at Tudhoe Victory Club had planned a fundraising evening which took place on Friday 28th April.
Moors Supporters United made a cash contribution to an overall fund of £1425 raised by the Victory Club.
The money will go to the parents of the boys to help with the unseen financial pressures that occur during difficult times.
Paul Rodgerson and Sue Neesam from the Victory Club have requested we pass on thier sincere thanks to all of our members 👏
MSU Kit Sponsor for Sunday League Club
Sunday Morning Team showing off their new kits for the first time.
Did you know there is a Sunday League side that play out of Neil Adams Sports Bar. The team are run by Spennymoor Town FC supporters and a large amount of the players also support the club.
MSU recognise how difficult it is for Football Clubs at that level financially so have supported the team in the form of providing a new team kit ready for next season. Our new logo will be emblazoned on the front of the kit for all to see when the team play home and away.
It is hoped that the sponsorship will assist us in creating a bond with the younger Supporters at Spennymoor Town.
