Spennymoor United are doing their best to make Bishop Auckland feel at home at the Brewery Field by painting the away dressing room in their tenants' traditional colours.

Bishops will groundshare with Moors for at least one season and Moors' owner Benny Mottram has allocated the visitors' dressing room to Bishops, painting it in the club's two blues colours.

Bishops will use the visitors' changing room for their home games at the Brewery Field.

Meanwhile, one club will have to move their FA Cup first qualifying round tie on September 18, as both have been drawn at home the same day. The same happened last season to Bishops when they groundshared at Shildon, so they played their tie on a Sunday.

Blyth have appointed Graham Fenton as their assistant manager alongside manager Paul Baker.

Fenton, who played for Aston Villa and Blackburn in the Premiership, signed for Spartans 12 months ago.
