Garry Plant, Managing Director Harrogate Town AFC reveals how he thinks the club's story is putting us on the map!

"December 2016 saw the decision that the club would turn fully professional during the 2017 close season and as they say, the rest is history!

"Pre-Season training for the 2017/18 campaign commenced on 3 July, the mood of the squad was buoyant and infectious. Behind every successful team there is an eager and anticipating following, supporters who pitch up win, draw or lose, the crowd was growing boosted by families and a younger gathering.

"It was a momentous season ending in a Play Off Final against Brackley at home in Harrogate. It was a sunny afternoon, the stadium was packed and the afternoon ended with a new trophy for the cabinet and a place in the National League for The Sulphurites and cracking bar sales.

"March 2020, after a cracking first season in the National League, a top six finish and a narrow defeat in the play offs the club is laying in second place 4 points behind Barrow in the 2019/20 season. The stadium has grown 2 new terraces and a new seated stand taking the capacity to 4108, support is growing and there is a palpable sense that the club could win promotion to The English Football League (EFL)."

Garry Plant also said, "Fast forward to 2nd August 2020 at Wembley after a semi final play off win against Boreham Wood. A scorching day in London at Wembley and a huge game against Notts County, the oldest professional association football club in the world. A win against the Magpies and the dream is real.

"Out of the blocks clean and quick, 2 goals to nil at half time. The Magpies pull one back immediately after half time, tension. Last 15 minutes and Town go 3-1 up, a gem of a goal by Jack Diamond, edge of seat, final whistle, we are an EFL Club, Harrogate is in the club of 92.
