Work to fix the playing surface at Scarborough Athletic's home ground is underway.
In a post on social media the football club say:
"We are pleased to update supporters that the first phase of work at Scarborough Sports Village has commenced this morning, in line with the commitment from North Yorkshire Council to ensure we are back at home next season."
The pitch, which serves as the home ground for both Scarborough Athletic and Scarborough Ladies Football Club, was found to have serious and unexpected structural issues during a planned resurfacing earlier this year. These complications, which include drainage and masonry concerns, have forced the "Seadogs" to relocate their home fixtures to Bridlington for the duration of the 2025/26 campaign.
North Yorkshire Council had stated that groundwork was expected to begin in January. According to the council’s assistant director of culture and leisure, Jo Ireland, the repairs are "technically complex" and involve installing a structural mattress and a tarmac sub-base to ensure the pitch has a sustainable future for Scarborough.
