Our match at the Towbar Express Stadium will see the now Northern Premier League Division One East side travel to the home of the Seasiders to play out 90 minutes of warm-up action.

Kicking off at 3pm on Saturday 26 July, this becomes the third pre-season fixture to be announced following on from the Mickey Skinner Memorial Trophy at Guisborough Town on Saturday, 19 July and the trip to Thornaby on Tuesday, 22 July.

Our last pre-season visit of Athletic came back in 2023, a fixture in which the Seasiders ran out 9-0 winners.

More pre-season fixture news will be announced soon.
