Port of Blyth Stand, Croft Park An uncomfortable difference with <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6374533">NZ3180 : Port of Blyth Stand, Croft Park</a> is that the sitting MP's advert has been replaced by a Labour constituency poster. Blyth Valley was the scene of the stand out shock result of the 2019 General Election. The sitting MP Ian Levy had an advertisement on the other side of the pitch.

Red Wall Advert at Blyth Spartans' Croft Park for Ian Levy, MP for Blyth Valley and one of the big surprises in the 2019 General Election. The desire to leave the European Union by the English at great cost led to some historic results in once safe Labour seats led to the collective nickname of the "Red Wall". 

The Blyth Spartans goalie, Alex Mitchel shook hands with several Hereford supporters before leaving the pitch after the match - Spartans are that sort of club.
