A 10-year-old football fan proudly wore his 2025/26 Seasiders' away shirt to training, showing off his support all the way from Eastern Europe.

Even better, he and his dad are huge Dracula enthusiasts, which makes Whitby’s connection to gothic history even more meaningful for them.

And here’s where the story gets even more special, the shirt was posted out from the Towbar Express Stadium to an address you might recognise, Stoker's Wines, a winery owned by the family of Bram Stoker, the author who famously brought Dracula to life.

Dacre Stoker, the great grandnephew of Bram and a writer himself, is expected to be visiting Whitby this May, bringing the story full circle between our town, our club, and a global legacy that continues to inspire fans of all ages to this day.

If you haven’t got your own 2025/26 Whitby Town away shirt yet, now’s the perfect time to join supporters around the world and wear the colours with pride. Click here to purchase for home delivery.
