𝗪𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗕! 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆. This week, 18-year-old Billingham lad Ethan Strike received the devastating news that he has terminal cancer. We’re incredibly proud of our “ultras”, who travelled to Darlington yesterday and showed their support not only for the club, but for someone who is a close friend to many of them. Ethan is facing an unimaginable situation with incredible dignity and courage. His family have set up a fundraiser to help support Ethan and give them the opportunity to make as many memories together as possible. Over the last few weeks, thousands of new people have followed Billingham Town from all over the world. Many of you have asked how you can support the club from afar.

If even a small number of our new followers can spare a couple of quid, it would mean an enormous amount to Ethan, his family, his friends, and us. 💙 gofund.me/9a8f81bf8

CLUB STATEMENT The club would like to address rumours circulating on social media regarding unacceptable behaviour following today’s game away to Seaham Red Star. After a brief investigation, we can confirm that Billingham Town supporter Phil Smith has received a lifetime ban from the club and has been reported to the Northern League, The FA and Cleveland Police. Although we are delighted to see Town win, and appreciate that celebrations can occasionally go a little too far, ordering a strawberry daiquiri in a pub, with the lads, on a matchday cannot—and will not—be tolerated. Furthermore, to ensure the club does not encourage similar behaviour in future, lager tops will no longer be served in the clubhouse. The club considers the matter closed. #UTT
