Scarborough Athletic have launched their No Battle No Victory fund as they prepare for life on the road.
The football club, launched in 2007, began life at Bridlington Town, before moving to Scarborough Sports Village in 2017.
Club chairman Trevor Bull had this advice for supporters wanting to help out:
250 Scarborough Athletic Fans turned out for a meeting about the clubs future on Wednesday night as Boro face life without a home ground again.
The open meeting at Scarborough Cricket Club was arranged by the Football Club to update fans "in-person" about the plans for next season which will see Scarborough Athletic play it's games at Bridlington Town's Mounting Systems Stadium.
The move comes after the discovery of serious structural issues with the playing surface at Scarborough Sports Village which could take over 40 weeks to rectify and cost around £3m.
Trevor says the club's business backers have been a big help:
At Wednesday's meeting, the clubs board said that North Yorkshire Council, who own the sports village, have various options for the pitch repair with the preferred option being a 'partial excavation & installation of Geogrid 0.5m under surface'.
Club Directors reported that the council are talking to the original contractors, Wilmott Dixon, with a view to getting them on-site, a move which could 'benefit all parties'.
Fans were reassured that when Boro move back, they will be playing on a much-improved artificial surface, fit for National League football.
