Aspirations

With membership and rapidly growing fan base we formed Newbyres Community Trust alongside Arniston Rangers Youth Football Club to develop a stronger player pathway from fun 4s to professional football and ensure the facilities provide benefits to the Gorebridge community for another 146 years. 
We pride ourselves on community, and seek sponsors who share our values. 

We are currently undergoing a major funding project to upgrade the facilities at Newbyres Park to 4G to provide better facilities to the community and have long term goals of achieving promotion to the Scottish Professional Football League.
