As we bring the curtain down on the 2014/15 season with the League Cup Final Newton Aycliffe FC are already preparing for the next campaign.
Aycliffe only received confirmation of their place in the final last week when the Football Association dismissed Ashington’s appeal against disqualification for fielding an Illegible player. The final took place on Tuesday 5th May against local rivals Shildon at Heritage Park which they lost 2-0.
This was the first time Aycliffe have reached a Northern League Cup final in their short history playing at this level and they played very well in a game which could have gone to either side.
Although one season may have drawn to a close the work carries on for the clubs committee who are preparing for the new season. Various repairs are required including plumbing and joinery work. We are also looking for sponsors. Anyone who is able to volunteer their skills or wishes to obtain more information on match sponsorship is asked to contact Steve Cunliffe on 07872 985501.
Season tickets will shortly be going on sale. Prices have been frozen at £100 for adults and £60 for concessions/children over 12 years. Children under 12 years are admitted free when accompanied by an adult.
Match tickets will remain at £6/£4. Season ticket holders will have the benefit of receiving a free hot drink every game as well as automatic membership to the supporters club which includes free entry into their £20 per month prize draw. To order season tickets please contact Bob Wood on 07766 808407.
