Ian Reid, chairman of Ashington Football Supporters Club has described Saturday’s away match at Brighouse Town as being ‘our cup final.’

Mr Reid, in the post for over ten years, is delighted that the fans have responded for the travel to West Yorkshire with a following approaching the hundred mark: “We have a coach going down then there are around another 20 who are making the journey by train as well as others,” he said, “It’s a very important game for the club – it’s our cup final. We know if we can win at Brighouse then we’ve got another season in the Northern Premier League. What we don’t want is to be going into the final match of the campaign at home to Lincoln United the week after with something hinging on it.”
