In a letter informing the club of the decision last week, the council said: “This decision follows a review by the parish council of how the playing field is being used and managed, and reflects concerns raised about the impact on other long-standing users of the site.
“It has not been taken lightly, and the council recognises this will require you to make alternative arrangements, which is why four months’ notice is being given rather than a shorter period.
“We would ask that you use this notice period to identify an alternative venue for your team’s activities.”
However, Keegan said the club had “not yet been provided with specific details of these concerns”.
Michelle Donohue-Moncrieff, a parish councillor who also represents Hunmanby on North Yorkshire Council, said: “I now have the agreement of six parish councillors – including the three who attended the meeting on Wednesday – that the minute should be rescinded.
“This would allow Hunmanby Parish Council to look at this issue again. A couple of parish councillors have also offered their time to help, which is much appreciated.”
A petition opposing the decision has also been signed by more than 700 people.
