The club are encouraging new supporters to turn up as they play a Saturday home game for only the fourth time in four months tomorrow.

The fixture sees Leamington FC visit the Scarborough Sports Village.

Scarborough are encouraging supporters to ‘Bring a Buddy to the Boro’ as they seek to drive up home crowds.

Chairman Trevor Bull says the lack of Saturday home games has become a problem.

Boro last played a Saturday home game on February 8th against Alfreton, before that the last Saturday home games were on January 25th against Chester, December 21st against Peterborough Sports and October 19th against Southport.

Encouraging fans to get along to Saturday's home game, Manager Jono Greening said:

"The fans make a massive difference to us on the pitch, and as a fan-owned club, their support is everything. If every regular brought someone new, it'd take the atmosphere to another level.

Let's get more people behind the lads and make the Sports Village bounce!"

Kick off in tomorrow's game against Leamington is at 3pm. The Warwickshire side currently sit 14th in the National League North table, their recent run of form lifting them above the Seadogs. They have secured 3 wins in their last 3 games, defeating Farsley, Warrington and Oxford City. However Boro will be looking to capitalise on their poor away form, having only picked up two wins away on the road this season, in contrast to their 10 wins at home.

The last time the two sides met, it was a 1-1 draw in Warwickshire in October, with Luca Colville on target for Boro.

Since then Boro have suffered from a run of injury problems, which Trevor Bull says has had an impact.

Tickets for the game are available to purchase on-line in advance up until 11am on Saturday or you can pay on the turnstile.
