Killingworth Young People’s club are appalled at having our name linked to recent events. To be clear, the club nor it’s members have been approached in any investigation into these events. The events were not football related and any reference to our club must be disregarded. If the club had been involved in some way the Northumberland FA would have been involved, which they have not.

We have a great club and provide a great service to the children around north tyneside and beyond. Let’s keep our kids safe and enjoying their football.

Thank you, yours in sport
