In a ground-breaking move for local football, every resident in Thornaby-On-Tees is being offered a fully funded season ticket to watch over 40 Thornaby FC men and women's home league games for the 2026/27 season.
Thanks to an unprecedented partnership between Thornaby FC and Thornaby Town Council, this is believed to be the first time funded football season tickets have been made available at this scale.
With over 10,000 households and approximately 24,000 people eligible, the scheme marks the largest single community initiative in the football club's history.
Eligible residents must act quickly to secure their funded season tickets before the summer deadline of July 31st.
To qualify, you must reside in a household paying the Thornaby Town Parish Council precept and, importantly, tickets can be claimed for each individual member of that household.
For those living outside the eligible boundary, Thornaby FC will be announcing its paid season ticket and matchday admission prices tomorrow.
Residents should complete the online claim form and then bring proof of their council tax to the club upon collection.

🤍 Tranmere Rovers are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mrs Lunn, who lived in one of the houses opposite Prenton Park.
Paul Curtis said on behalf of her granddaughter, Alison: “I know my grandmother was known to and well liked by Tranmere supporters. She was a bit of a matchday fixture and would often chat to fans while she was out painting her gnomes or tending to her garden.”
Rest in peace, Mrs Lunn.

456. The number of reasons why the pyramid’s importance is highlighted by today’s Champions League final. 456 EFL/non-League games Arsenal players have played. David Raya turned out 16 times in the Conference for Southport, 45 times in League One for Blackburn Rovers and 147 times in the Championship (53, Blackburn; 94, Brentford).
Eberechi Eze played 20 League Two games for Wycombe Wanderers and 104 times in the Championship for QPR. Viktor Gyokeres played 113 times in the Championship with Coventry City and 11 with Swansea City.
You can add another 63 to that 456 with Christian Norgaard (who played in the Championship with Brentford) on the bench. And another 103: watching on will be the unfortunately injured Ben White, who played 46 times in the Championship with Leeds United, 15 times in League One with Peterborough United and 42 League Two games with Newport County.
622 reasons why the Premier League is supported by the pyramid and why the elite league needs to increase financial support with the long-delayed New Deal. #UCL #EFL #UCLfinal #PSGARS
The legendary Gary Mabbutt is continuing to check in on our elderly fans with regular phone calls on their birthdays. Today he’s made his 20,000 call in the last six years.
Incredible work, Mabbsy 🤍
What are you going to bring to this day?
Excuses or effort?
Groans or grit?
Drift or direction?
Bitterness or backbone?
Withdrawal or willingness?
You do not have to conquer the world today, just bring a smile and a positive perspective.
Jürgen Klinsmann: “There were 70,000 people, we were warming up seriously. While ‘Live Is Life’ was playing, Maradona started juggling the ball. We stopped warming up, because there was nothing more we could do except watch him.”
BAR OWNER: “You’re OK at making drinks, but are you good at changing the channel on a TV?”
BARTENDER INTERVIEWEE: “I am the literal worst channel changer of all time.”
BAR OWNER: “You start tomorrow.”
@MrRecruitment01@amjonno “Failed at the end” - Salford won National League North in Bern and Johnno’s last season 🤦♂️ Maybe you didn’t see every episode!
We left Salford City 8 years ago after winning 3 promotions. Since then they’ve won 1 promotion, and that was the season after we’d left with the majority of the squad we put together.
I do sometimes wonder…
What do you do when you are thirsty? You have a drink, unless you are nil by mouth. Today is the hottest May day on record in the UK, but when you cannot swallow, hydration becomes a logistical exercise instead of a basic human reflex. I cannot just grab a bottle of water or sit in a café and cool down. Every drop of fluid has to be syringed directly into my stomach through a tube and believe me, that is not easy when you are out and about. You need clean hands, clean equipment, time and privacy - somewhere dignified to stop and hydrate without feeling like a medical procedure has hijacked your day in public...and to avoid people staring! People see the sunshine. They do not see the calculations behind survival.
Hot weather for most people means inconvenience but for us nil by mouthers, it can become dangerous very quickly. The reality of head and neck cancer is that even something as basic as quenching thirst is no longer simple.
