Well done to them. Former City youth Ryan Fallowfield and former Ferriby striker Jack Muldoon had superb games. Strong chance we will get them in the Checkatrade Trophy. For those that haven’t been, Wetherby Road is a cracking ground, Harrogate itself is a nice day out with a surprisingly good nightlife.
Very nice Sainsburys close to the ground. I like Harrogate, posh parts, then not so posh. Decent night out. Can't imagine it will be long before we're dukeing it out with Harrogate for Yorkshire clubs wooden spoon.
Spent three weeks in Harrogate on a training course, mid 70's - the town centre was certainly lively when the squaddies from Ripon barracks came into town.
Good to see another Yorkshire club in the Football League, though I reserve my right to renege on my proclamation of pleasure at their promotion if, in the future, we find ourselves knocked out of the FA Cup, League Cup, Football League Trophy, League One or Two play-offs or are otherwise bested by them in any way, shape or form (with malice aforethought)
Went to Harrogate once, late 70's, work trip, I was booked into a good, central hotel. I motor biked up there, arrived quite late in pissing rain. Walked up to reception in my wet gear and was asked to pay in advance. ****s them.
Am I right in saying that we played these guys fifteen or sixteen years ago in a pre-season friendly, because if so I think I've been there?
We go to Harrogate about 4 times a year. Turkish Baths then Betty's tearoom. I sometimes think that I'm not the same fella who caught a coach outside YEB every other Satdee morning in the late Seventies / early Eighties.
I was Lord Ben of Sutton Village. 150mile round trip a day for 2 1/2 years. Exeter would have been more favourable. I was on 33p a mile travel expenses.
Somewhere around that time, I drove us there and followed the signs for the stadium. In fact I followed them perfectly, and ended up parking just behind the goalposts! The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Wife’s from Harrogate. Got married in Harrogate. Her family still live in Harrogate. Not keen on the place - it was the drink drive capital a while back.
Six divisions separated us when we first played PL football in 2008. Now it's one.... Is that called ambition?
