Whitby Town Face Final Pre-Season Test Against Former Manager

Whitby Town will conclude their pre-season friendlies this Saturday at the Towbar Express Stadium against a newly-promoted Guisborough Town side managed by former boss Nathan Haslam.

Pre-season preparations will come to a close for Whitby Town this Saturday.

The squad will face a home clash against familiar opponents at the Towbar Express Stadium as they finalise their readiness for the upcoming league campaign.

Saturday's fixture brings former manager Nathan Haslam back to his old stomping ground.

He returns to Whitby alongside his newly-promoted Guisborough Town team, promising a competitive end to the summer friendly schedule.

Starting positions for the upcoming league matches remain up for grabs, adding significant pressure to the weekend's performance.

Current Whitby chief Lee Bullock told Whitby Town TV he believes the encounter will serve as the perfect test for his team before competitive football resumes:

"Yeah, that's why it was a perfect timing of us to play because they're in exactly the same position as us. A decent team, spot on start there, league next week. So yeah, it it'll be if you've got the shirt, it's yours to keep or yours to lose, and there's there's two ways you do it. You put in a a good solid performance that's full of everything we require, you keep the shirt. If you don't, there's a good chance you lose it for the league. So it's time to get very serious now."

Kick-off is 3pm.
