Good luck Jon Stead

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Anyone else spot someone familiar on the Harrogate bench just after they scored? Massively surprised myself by recognising him - Paul Thirlwell! Turns out he’s their assistant manager.

Their manager is former pig, Simon Weaver.

Well he was on their books but didn't get a game.

He's worked wonders at Town. Good little outfit.

They're building a new stand to raise their capacity to 5,000 and it's a great football day out.

They serve brilliant, locally-made, burgers and a real ale specially brewed for them which is extremely quaffable!

And it's a 30 minutes free bus ride away from my house

Harrogate winning 2-0 at HT

Should've been 3-0!

Or maybe 4!! Well on top. Jon Stead rarely starts, not particularly rated by their fans. Will probably get 30 mins.

The sulphurites has got to be the best nickname in football.

 

[Blade58]

Who’s the two guests with the presenter?
Who’s the one in the middle? reminds me of pig Hooper, but not him

 

[Blade58]

2-1 already

What about the Whites?

Leeds United.

If Harrogate go up they will become only the 5th Yorkshire team to be promoted (rather than elected etc) into the football league. Who can name the other 4.

Stead on the Harrogate Town bench.
Doyle starts for Notts County.

Referee - James Bell from Sheffield.

I went to school James Bell and used to play football with him. Interestingly he's a big Wednesday fan but has been the linesman for league games at Hillsborough more than once..

Stead played a big role, too.

 

[dazzlingblade]

Am I right in thinking both Connor Hall and Lloyd kerry were youth players of ours

[Silent Blade]

Good season for all Yorkshire clubs apart from Wendy

That depends who's looking at it!

Different Connor Hall, the one we had was released by Bolton on June 30th and is currently without a club.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Fantastic achievement for them. Looks like a proper ground, too.

 

[Grey Blade]

The first time I've actually enjoyed a play off final - other than when I've been a complete neutral

I'm going with Rotherham Utd, Grimsby, Barnsley and Scunthorpe (assuming the East Riding or whatever it's called these days is counted).

Grimsby and Scunthorpe have never been in Yorkshire.

Scarborough?

 

[WaveyDavey]

I’d say Scarborough, Doncaster Rovers and Halifax Town?

Can’t think of the other one

 

[benn5712]

And they draw the massive (small m) in the Wilko's sugar soap trophy, we could have gone and given 'em our support.

Three out of four WaveyDavey. No-one ever remembers York City. We could have been playing them a few years back when they made the League 2 play-offs and we were in League 1 under Clough. Now down in National League North.

 

[8lade]

Yeah I just put those answers to prove I'm not a cheat.

 

[DifferentClass]

Can we sign that Jack Diamond just so I can sing his name to the tune of Black Diamond by Kiss?

They're called that because Harrogate is a Spa town and the water comes from sulphur springs

Your a fountain of knowledge, I learned something there.

Well I've lived in North Leeds for 25 years and we go to Harrogate quite often.

Lovely town if you've never been.

Great pubs, bars and restaurants, to say nothing of Betty's.
Quality olde-worlde restaurant and the most amazing cakes.
Not cheap but the you do get what you pay for.

And, Fat Rascals, especially the spiced seasonal ones!

Fantastic range of teas and coffees as well
