@OTerrifying Hope it’s not a huge waterfall down stream causing that fast current.

@NufcPortal Howe is not the answer! How about Kevin Keegan on a caretaker basis until the end of the season.

@flynn_priv Cracking atmospheric photos. The north east is a great place to live!

@DJNelsonPhotos @gregj85 I can’t remember anything either. I’m just an anorak with a spreadsheet

Season 1999-00, Northern Premier League. 20 years ago. Moors narrowly avoided relegation by 1 point. In cup competitions Moors lost to Ossett Town in the FA Cup 2Q, and went out of the FA Trophy R4 to @bishopafc after the FA ordered the R3 match with Harrogate Town to be replayed

@Jayainsley7 @SpennymoorTown Thanks for your kind words Jason. I still find it hard to believe @SpennymoorTown is approaching 15 years since it’s formation! I will, at some point include more up to date results, history is always being made.

[MoorsTimeMachine @MoorsTiMachine]

Well that’s it, season 4 completed. I hope you have enjoyed the trip down memory lane and learned some historic facts, figures and heritage of Spennymoor United. Good luck to @SpennymoorTown and @Jayainsley7 for 2020-21 season. Stay safe!

@DJNelsonPhotos @gregj85 Let me put that one to bed. The void game was due to them fielding an ineligible player, and a 3-2 loss, Willie Moat scoring both goals. The away replay was 2-0, Moat & Bowes scoring. Four days later after the loss to Bishop Auckland in R4, manager Colin Richardson left the club.
