Good luck Jon Stead

[Tony Currie]

Good luck to Jon Stead today as he leads the strike force for Harrogate Town in their National League play-off final.

Always a great professional for United and was involved in some memorable games.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Steadinho was signed from Harrogate’s opponents Notts County too. Presumably it would be their first time in the Football League if they win – hope they manage it.

 

[BettingBlade]

Michael Doyle is playing for Notts County too.

Think I’ll be willing Harrogate on in this one though. Massive achievement to get in the football league.

Watched their home tie against Boreham Wood. It was odd seeing players with black rubber bits all over their kit thanks to their artificial pitch. Reminded me of PE at school.

That'll have to go if they get promoted, although there was talk of bringing back artificial pitches for lower league sides due to them being cost effective.

yes good luck to him, really liked him as a player.

Should Harrogate Town win, contractors are lined up to start work on laying a new grass pitch on the 4th August. They also have an agreement to play their first few home games at a neutral ground. They need ten weeks for the pitch to be ready

Be nice to have another rival for Leeds in the league.

Any team playing on a plastic pitch deserves f...all in my opinion ,

A better player with his feet than many gave him credit for, similar to McBurnie in some ways.

I always thought he put a shift in and was a decent player. As you say, GLTTL

On a side note, I hope that Harrogate play in red and are sponsored by Bettys or Yorkshire Tea

Great goal against West Ham - came in from the right and fired it into the bottom corner.

Good equaliser at Charlton.

All amounted to nowt.

Good luck Harrogate.

Will be removed on Tuesday if they win, with early home matches played elsewhere until the pitch is ready

Why?

 

[Bergen Blade]

Lloyd Kerry also plays for Harrogate. He was a youth player with us. Central midfielder I think.

 

[Davalon]

Managed by a pig and owned by a pig

Still think I'd prefer to see them do it

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Jon Stead isn't even in the Harrogate squad.

EDIT: He's on the bench actually, missed him

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

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

And with a Wed fan as manager.
Would be a brilliant achievement, but fuck em, hate to see a happy pig

 

[PLAIN BLADE]

Why?

Advantage

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Michael Doyle turns 39 next week.

He's not doing bad to still be playing in a final at Wembley, even at that level.

Great longevity.

 

[diode_blade]

Good luck to both

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Harrogate take the lead after 5 minutes.

 

[LondonBlade89]

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.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

2-0 Harrogate after 25 mins

It's a 4g pitch. Town are very much a community club and the pitch gets used for all sorts of games and events.
