Re: On Demand. Blyth Spartans.
I had been working in Newcastle in the late 60's so enjoyed the Newcastle match (2:2) in the fourth round with my old friends in a crowd of 28,425.
The Blyth replay was totally different, really intimidating, with a passionate crowd of 42,267. I was glad to get away from the ground in the end and didn't even stop for a beer in the town. It was a very hard game as what Blyth lacked in skill they made up for with aggression. We deserved the win and the chance to play Arsenal in the next round.
