Blyth Spartans vs Altrincham preview - No worries for Blyth
Posted Saturday, November 08, 2014 by PA
Blyth Spartans have no injury concerns for the FA Cup first round tie against Altrincham.
Manager Tom Wade saw his side come through last week's 2-0 win over Farsley in the FA Trophy unscathed.
That win made it four unbeaten for Wade's men and he has warned their Vanarama Conference opponents that they are in for a tough game.
He told the club's website: "This cup tie gives us a chance to get the Green Army to Croft Park in their numbers and show Altrincham they are not only having to beat the players. They have to get past a town and a noisy set of supporters who will help us give everything they have. This has been a good cup run but we are not ready to finish it."
Altrincham welcome back goalkeeper Stuart Coburn after he missed the win against Lincoln due to his wife giving birth, but Nicky Clee will definitely miss out with a broken toe.
The club remain hopeful Ryan Crowther will have recovered from a back problem in time to make the trip, while Mike Williams is available after returning from a loan spell at Stalybridge.
Manager Lee Sinnott has warned his side against complacency as they travel to Croft Park.
He told the club's official website: "There is absolutely no question that it is going to be a tough day for us, as well as a big day. The north-east is invariably a tough place to go to and we know what we are walking into."
