MPs square up for football challenge.
(From The Journal)
Byline: Dave Black
DEVOTED Blackburn Rovers fan Jack Straw will be absent from the Blyth clash - after a tongue-in-cheek warning from fellow Labour MP Ronnie Campbell.
The Premier League side's most celebrated supporter is out of the country on a Christmas break and will not be at Croft Park on Monday night for the eagerly-anticipated third round clash with the famous non-league Spartans.
The Justice Secretary has been sent a personal invitation to attend the tie by Blyth Valley MP Mr Campbell and Spartans chairman Tony Platten.
Yesterday, Mr Campbell - who is President of the Spartans Supporters' Club - said he was disappointed that Mr Straw is unable to be there on Monday, and joked that his fellow MP was 'running scared'.
He said: "I spoke briefly to him in the House of Commons just before the Bournemouth replay and told him: 'Jack, be afraid - be very afraid'.
