Fans of Yorkshire football club offered discounted rail tickets
Northern has offered football fans in North Yorkshire discounted travel after their club was forced to find a new home ground for the season. Scarborough Athletic FC reached the agreement with the rail operator after being forced to play home games away from its usual ground due to subsidence issues. The club has temporarily relocated home fixtures to Bridlington Town's ground, 17 miles away. Kerry Peters, regional director for Northern in Yorkshire, said: "We know just how important this football club is to the local community so when they approached us and explained the situation, we were happy to help. "We're now encouraging supporters to take advantage of this offer, so they can save money when they travel to see their side play this season." The National League North side approached Northern and other transport providers to explore the possibility of discounted travel to help fans reach the temporary venue. In response, Northern is offering a 25 per cent off Advanced Purchase tickets for supporters travelling to games. Codes for discounted tickets can be requested by Scarborough Athletic members and season pass holders through the club. Trevor Bull, chairman at Scarborough Athletic, said: "It has been a really difficult summer since we got the news that we would be unable to use our ground this season. He added: "We are really grateful to Northern for helping make travel more accessible for our fans." Fans seeking a discount code should contact the club's marketing and commercial manager, Rhiannon Hunt, by emailing
