Title: North Ferriby United
Post by: ferribyrover on October 30, 2018, 08:34:04 am: Only a small village club, but remarkably been to Wembley twice (fa vase lost v Whitby, fa trophy won v Wrexham) and reached the National league which proved unsustainable.
Sadly in decline now, ownership changes, players leaving, poor results.
So be it, but owners want to rename and relocate to East Hull! A bit like Rovers relocating to Rotherham!
I’m not sure I can do the link but there is a petition save North Ferriby United if anyone feels like me that it must be stopped. Thank you. https://www.change.org/p/the-football-association-save-north-ferriby-united

A real shame what's happened at North Ferriby and I sincerely hope they arrest the slide and certainly don't relocate.

But they did nothing when a convicted fraudster moved Bridlington Town to Belle Vue all those years ago.
And look what happened next...
