However, they will have a new venue which will be in Askern, Doncaster - subject to ground grading visit imminently.

 

The club have been actively looking to secure a long-term home and have explored every opportunity over the past 18 months in the East Yorkshire region.

 

Having been unable to secure a venue good enough for Step 6, one that’s financially viable and longer than a season tenure, the club have had to look further afield.

 

As with a long-term home now secured, the club also have to announce yet another name change to the club. For the 2022/23 season and foreseeable future the club will be known as Askern Miners FC and all will be ratified by the NCEL and County FA’s in the coming weeks.

 

The passion for football on both sides of the respective clubs ultimately led to a quick decision for us to be based in Askern on a permanent basis. When both clubs discussed their development plans it was clear all parties wanted the same outcome.

 

FC Humber United wanted a long-term ground and a junior set-up, Askern Miners FC wanted to work towards having a Step 6 first team.

 

Askern Miners Football Club have built up a fantastic youth set up over the years which is made up of nearly 20 teams making it one of the biggest youth set-ups in the Doncaster area.

 

They have provided opportunities for all and have had a lot of success in the process, on and off the pitch with a vast number of coaches, volunteers and huge community backing.

 

The club also has two senior men’s teams, the first team played in Step 7 for the 2021/22 season having won the Doncaster Senior League the season before.

 

They too have some fantastic coaches and volunteers and have also have a large backing from the community with large attendances at games etc. all the way through the club there are talented, committed players.

 

The club has grown rapidly over recent years and it is now time to join forces and ensure the club continues to go from strength to strength.

 

A fantastic pathway for all junior players associated with Askern Miners Football Club has now been strengthened with the opportunity to play at semi-professional level in the years to come.

 

A fresh start, this time with a long-term home and strong club structure behind us.

 

Chairman, Richard Smales told https://fchumberunited.co.uk: “It has been another interesting period for the club since the final game of last season. We knew we always had to find a permanent home and I am pleased to finally be able to secure this for the club. Yes, we know, another name change, but this time it has more substance and meaning behind it.

 

“We are pleased to be working with a group of likeminded football people, they are hard to come by these days in non-League football, however everyone involved at Askern has done a fantastic job in creating 20 junior teams and now aligning a senior team in Step 6 we can begin to create a long-term pathway for players to aspire too and play at semi-professional level.

 

“Since initial conversations started only a few weeks back we have built a strong relationship and I am confident we can form an amazing working relationship with everyone at Askern for the whole club to flourish in the coming years.

 

“We have also been able to secure the future for the FC Humber United brand as this will be based in Hull and compete in the East Riding Counties League and more details on this will be released in the near future. We look forward to a long-term partnership with everyone at Askern”.
