Spartans FC

A regular on these pages since I started Affordable Football, Spartans FC are gearing up for what should be a hugely competitive season in the Scottish Lowland League.

As I wrote recently about Edinburgh City, the fact that there is now a route into the Scottish Football League that is dependent on footballing prowess alone means that well-run clubs such as Spartans now have a genuine prize to aim for.

Two new clubs have been admitted to the Lowland League for the new season, Hawick Royal Albert and Civil Service Strollers, while East Stirlingshire will be looking to bounce back into the SPFL at the first opportunity.

Spartans, despite increasing running costs, have managed to freeze season ticket prices for the 12th year in a row at £50 Adults, £25 Concessions and free for Under-16's.

You can take 50% off those prices if you are a season ticket holder at any other SPFL club and wish to follow Spartans as well when your team is away from home or not in action.

Before the competitive action begins on Friday 29 July there is also the 'Battle of the Spartans' on Saturday 23 July as Blyth cross the border to take on their namesakes.
