CLUB STATEMENT
Thornaby FC are disappointed to learn that the @NorthRidingFA have elected to hold the men's and women's County Senior Cup finals at separate venues this season.
The failure of the North Riding County FA to ensure that both senior finals are played at a venue of equal standing is something we simply cannot accept.
Despite asking the questions multiple times, the County FA have also failed to explain what process or methodology was used to place the Men's final at the Riverside Stadium and not the Women's.
Our senior women's side reached that final through the same effort, preparation and commitment as any other finalist in the competition. To stage their final at a lesser venue sends a message that their achievement carries less weight. It does not.
Thornaby FC reject that position, and we believe the North Riding County FA's own equality guidelines support us in doing so.
We are therefore calling on the North Riding County FA to make a formal commitment: all future senior county cup finals will be held at the same venue, for both the men's and women's competition.
The Men's final between Boro Rangers and Yarm and Eaglescliffe at the Riverside Stadium was a fantastic occasion, and both sides were fully deserving of that stage. That is exactly the point. Equal competition deserves an equal occasion, and we simply ask that the Women's finalists receive the same.
This call stands regardless of our own involvement in this season's final, or any future season's.
We raise it because without a clear commitment from the Association, the same situation will arise again.
We ask the North Riding County FA to put that on record.

Hate to say it but young kids are starting to ruin non league football. Going for no other reason than to start a scrap. Not what non league is about at all! Can understand why clubs are starting to not allow u16โs without an adult.
Unbeaten @ThornabyFC_ are also on the road as they face fifth placed @CLSUnitedWomen on Sunday.

โน๏ธ//TODAY//FIXTURE//NL2
@redcartownfc v @ThornabyFC_
Comp: @EbacNorthernLge - Division Two
Venue: Mo Mowlam Memorial Park, TS10 5BW
Kick Off: 3pm
๐CURRENT FORM//
Redcar Town
16th | DWLLDL - Lost 4-1 at CLS United last Saturday despite taking the lead through Mustapha Abdullahi in the second minute.
If they fail to win they would equal their longest run without a victory this season - 5 games.
At home they have won just once in 9 league games. Three draws and five defeats complete their home record in NL2 so far.
The reverse fixture at Teesdale Park was a 0-0 draw earlier this season.
Thornaby
7th | WDDWWW - The 1-0 home win v Boldon was earned by a James Rowe goal after 16 minutes and a monumental effort by the 10 man Blues who had โkeeper Mark Foden sent off on the half hour mark.
They are now unbeaten in 8, winning five.
On their travels they have won 7/9 in the league with a draw and a single defeat rounding off their away record so far in NL2.
As stated above the reverse fixture was a goalless stalemate.
โชLAST TIME//
The corresponding NL2 fixture last season between the sides needed a stoppage time Dale Milburn winner to secure a 3-2 win for Thornaby.
Charlie Hindson gave Thornaby a perfect start with a 3rd minute goal, but Sam Webster levelled for the hosts in the 12th minute.
Dale Milburn restored the visitors lead in first half stoppage time.
Webster scored his, and Redcarโs, second goal to square things up once more before Milburn completed his brace to give the Blues a late, late winner.
๐ฎOUR PREDICTION//
Redcar have signed Liam Williams from Division One Marske United to bolster their attacking options after recent departures. Defender Matthew Frazer has followed striker Carl Williams to Bedlington this week.
Their solitary home victory will be a growing concern but we donโt see them adding to that today.
Thornaby have been excellent away from home and that will continue here we feel.
Town 0-3 Thornaby
๐I Pick that one out!
We've scored some wondergoals already this season - none better than this cheeky lob by Delia Hurdiss in our FA Cup clash vs Thornaby on Sunday.
Here's hoping for some more crackers against SJR Worksop on Sunday.

@ThornabyFC_ are on the road this weekend as they face @ConsettLAFC. Both sides are unbeaten with the hosts winning both their league games and Thornaby have won two out of three getting a point on the road. Thornaby have also won both cup games without conceding.
