Football's Not Coming Home, At Least Not to Scarborough

Football might be coming home, but probably not to Scarborough Open Air Theatre.

In previous years a big screen has been installed at the venue for some key England games but with the current COVID situation the Borough Council's Portfolio Holder for Quality of Life, Councillor Jim Grieve, says that this time more than anytime it's really difficult to organise.

England face Denmark at Wembley tomorrow in the semi finals of Euro 2020. A win would put the national side in their first major final since 1966 where they would play either Spain or Italy on Sunday.

Councillor Grieve, says that as well as the COVID situation there are a number of issues standing in the way of creating a fan zone.

We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
