Whitby Town Start Home Double

Saturday, 26 July 2025 06:00

The Blues are at home to Redcar Athletic, at the Towbar Express Stadium, on Saturday.

Whitby then face Blyth at the same venue three days later.

Both visiting teams are from the NPL East, one division below Gary Liddle's men.

Goalkeeper Josh Neale is set to debut with Shane Bland and Nick Cranston both unavailable.

Liddle, whose side beat Thornaby 3-1 in midweek, told Whitby Town TV he's expecting a tough clash with Redcar on Saturday:

 "Yeah, they're a good team. Redcar will be quite an even game. I'm guessing, I'll be missing nine players on Saturday, which is gonna be difficult. I'll have to try and, get a team together. I think we'll be quite light in terms of the bench, that's for sure.

"But at the moment I've said to the lads, whether they are involved in the games over this next week or whether they're going on a holiday or whether, whatever they're doing, whether it be in training. As an individual it's on them. It's on them over the next couple of weeks to make sure that they're right for that August the 9th kick-off.

"And that's important making sure that they get through the rest of preseason these next couple of weeks injury-free. And we'll give it a good go on Saturday. And we'll see where it takes us."

Kick-off is at 3.00pm but if you really can't make it there's full commentary on This Is The Coast Extra.
