| Hereford at Scarborough earlier this season |
There is uncertainty surrounding Scarborough as the club's board have told supporters they will be left without a pitch for the start of next season.
After an emergency board meeting, the board of directors said a new pitch not being ready for the start of the new National League North season could have a "significant effect" on the football club and community.
Due to the condition of the current playing surface at the Scarborough Sports Village, North Yorkshire Council has been planning to replace the surface with an upgraded version this summer.
However, that will now not be ready for August and the council cannot commit to a completion date, a statement said.
"We have immediately informed the National League of this situation and are engaging with them appropriately alongside other key partners," it added.
"We recognise that this announcement will create uncertainty for everyone and, as a fan owned community football club, we must meet this challenge together in an open and transparent way.
"We are committed to working hard with all parties to minimise the impact of this news on our club and community and are committed to keeping all of our stakeholders updated as the situation develops."
Reports have said the lifespan of the current pitch meant it was originally scheduled for replacement in the summer of 2027 but that date was bought forward after extensive patching work.
