Hello all and welcome to the latest members newsletter. We’ve a mix of news for you this month but let’s get the football out the way first.

First Team Update

Well lets be honest, thanks to the ridiculous amount of rain we’ve been getting, we’re a little light on news this month, but we have welcomed two new players.

Nathan Greenwood who caused us nightmares when playing for Whickham last season has made the sensible decision to join us and we’ve also brought in cover for Lewis Brass in the shape of Matty Bateman who joins on duel reg from Hebburn Town.

Incredibly we’ve only managed to play 1 game since the last newsletter which saw a very healthy Stan Army contingent make the trip to West Yorkshire and the village of Emley for our FA Vase game.

Whilst we came off second best it was another great day out on the road, despite nearly leaving Joe and his daughter at Scotch Corner and unexpectedly transferring 4 to the players coach after the supporters driver took off without them.

Rest assured no one drank Peter Austin’s Jack Daniels which was still on the supporters coach.

If you haven’t travelled with us to an away game you really should, they’re great fun and there is an opportunity to next Saturday more details further down.

Weather permitting we have some great matches coming up, please come along and support the lads if you can.

25th November – Penrith. Away

1st December – Whitley Bay. Home

6th December – Crook Town. Home

9th December – Boro Rangers. Home

16th December – Tow Law Town. Away

Away Travel

As you will have noticed from the fixtures, next Saturday we travel to Penrith in the league and we have put a coach on.

Why not join us and sit back and relax, maybe even crack the cans open.

Seats are selling fast so best not to hang around get yours here.

Heaton Stan A

As with the 1st team the A team haven’t had too many games to play.

Sadly after a phenomenal start to the season the lads winnjng streak came to an end at Coach Lane when Whitley Bay Sporting Club took the points by the odd goal in five.

A week later they travelled to Rothbury for a delayed cup game and sadly lost out on penalties.

Juniors

Not many games gone ahead for the Juniors.

We are always looking to expand so if anyone is interested in coaching or knows anyone that is thinking about it they can email us to find out more.

Christmas Toy App

This year we are supporting Building Futures East with their Christmas Toy appeal.

If you are able to donate a new kids toy and help ensure no child goes without a Christmas present this year you can leave toys at the Clubhouse on the stage.

Saturday Opening

The bar rota for December is in the process of being pulled together but the club WILL be open this coming Saturday the 25th November and on the 9th December.

When and if we have any further conformation of the club being open on a Saturday night we will let you know.

We will of course let you know beforehand where the club will definitely be closed on a Saturday night but hope to have a solution in place soon.

That’s all for this month,
