IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
So far this season they have put together
a steady campaign, compiling a record of
four wins, a draw and five defeats from
their ten matches. This has left them
sitting in a solid mid-table position with
thirteen points on the board.
They will now be looking to put together
a good run of results in order to push on
up the league. As long as they are able to
retain their current group of players and
can perhaps make one or two quality
additions they should be well set up for a
successful campaign.
Club Representative Mark Fitton took the
time to tell us more about the club, saying,
“I’ve been actively involved with the club
for around 12 years, having watched
on and off since being a boy. I love the
character of non-league football, where
you are much closer to the game and you
can actually make a difference.
“Like all non-league clubs Ashington
can be difficult to run. We have a good
team off the pitch running the club. It is
extremely rewarding when the team win
and it is great to be involved in some of
the more community facing aspects of the
club.
“We are absolutely a community club.
The club tries to be at the heart of the
community. We often get involved in
charitable activities and try to support
other local organisations where possible.
