**ANNOUNCEMENT**
Unfortunately, the good old British weather wins again 😪
The pitches are too soft & with more rain forecast, the grass pitches are unplayable therefore, Saturday fixtures are cancelled at Lockey Park & Seaton Burn 🤞
There will be a further pitch inspection tomorrow for Sunday's fixtures 🔵⚫️
Soccer skills are unaffected 👌
A slight change of plan for Friday Food Fix. Third time lucky with the weather for Habibi shawarma street eats. They will be at Lockey Park 5-8 with some amazing food while our FA wildcats sessions run. Open to all, look forward to seeing you there!

Unfortunately due to the weather, all Wildcats and Squad Girls sessions tonight are cancelled. This also means Food Fix is also cancelled. We hope to see Habibi shawarma street eats at some point soon in the future.

Unfortunately the weather wins again🌨️
Lockey Park, Seaton Burn, North Gosforth Academy & all central venues have been closed this weekend 👎
Due to the weather forecast and a wind chill well below zero, we believe this decision is in the best interest of all players - safety must come first 🔵⚫️
Here's to hoping the weather improves next week 🙏
