Mike Thompson’s first game back as manager of Bridlington Town will have to wait as tonight’s match at Ossett United is postponed.
It’s been a week of change for the Seasiders, as it was announced on Sunday that Denny Ingram had resigned as first team manager, though he will remain at the club in his coaching role with the Under 19s.
A few hours later, Mike Thompson was revealed as the new gaffer, leaving Bottesford Town to rejoin the club that gave him his first managerial job two and a half years ago.
On his return, a fifth spell at the club having also played for the club on two occasions, as well as joining as a coach under Brett Agnew, Thompson said:
“It’s an absolute pleasure and an honour to return to Bridlington Town this new year and with a real feeling of ‘unfinished business’ about it. I’m really excited to get my feet under the table and start shaping 2025 and beyond.”
Despite ambitions of moving the club forward, Thompson’s initial challenge is to keep the club in the division, as they currently sit 21st, with only Sheffield FC below them.
That challenge was due to start against Ossett tonight but the club announced on Friday morning that the game has been postponed due to a frozen pitch and snow.
The postponement comes off the back of a disrupted schedule for the Seasiders. Their Boxing Day clash with Grimsby Borough was abandoned just after half time due to fog, with the score at 0-0.
Moreover, Bridlington’s first two games of 2025 against North Ferriby and Brighouse Town were postponed following pitch inspections, due to a waterlogged and frozen pitch, respectively.
