Wembley Memories at Whitby

Good memories of a pre-season friendly at Whitby Town in 2016.

The club are welcoming back players from both the 1965 FA Amateur Cup and 1997 FA Vase Finals to Saturday's game with Gainsborough Trinity.

A special programme will be on sale and admission will be on a pay what you want basis.

Whitby Town FC

A nice excuse to use this photo again, taken back in the summer when I was on holiday in Whitby and saw the Seasiders defeat Marske United in a pre-season friendly.

Everyone is optimistic ahead of a new campaign and it has been a decent one for Whitby who are still firmly in the hunt for a play-off place in the Northern Premier League Premier Division.

It is 'Pay What You Want' at the Turnbull Ground this Easter Saturday for the visit of Warrington Town.

Whitby Town FC

A week's holiday by the seaside enabled me to take in Tuesday night's pre-season friendly against Marske United at the Turnbull Ground, home of Whitby Town FC.

The picture shows the main stand, of which the club are justly proud (and which gets a mention on the open-top bus tour of Whitby) while the proximity to the sea means that seagulls are an ever-present throughout the 90 minutes and just occasionally seem in danger from a hefty clearance.

Whitby tuned up for the forthcoming Evo-Stik Northern Premier League season with a 2-0 victory in front of 126 spectators and have two more home friendlies scheduled, against Bishop Auckland this coming Saturday at 3pm and against Scarborough Athletic on Saturday 6th August at 1pm.

Prices for the pre-season friendlies are £6 for adults, £3 for concessions and £2 for under 18s.

'Pay What You Want' This Weekend at Whitby Town

Fancy ending the season with a bit of football in the sunshine (hopefully) and by the seaside?

Whitby Town's final match of the Northern Premier League campaign, at home to Stafford Rangers this Saturday, will be a 'Pay What You Want' fixture.

As David Watters writes on the official Evo-Stik League website, this has become an annual event which gives the club a boost going in to the summer months as previous fixtures have surpassed the matchday income that the Seasiders would usually expect.
